Omaha High
I have been doing the voyeur bit more than normal. It is fun watching those Full Tilt pros playing for real-honest-to-god amounts. The OH table seems to draw them. I played some .25-50 on PokerRoom with some dregs won in a freeroll of all things and manage to turn a few bucks into a huge (relative) win. Reported the silly details in a thread in the forums of Pokerworks.com: http://pokerworks.com/forum/viewtopic.p
It is a hard game to continue in without the nuts. Yet, pot odds can dictate crying calls. Hence, there is real variance to the game and if you throw in pot limit then it is Katy bar the door.
I played full tables and at those limits you are going to have the chasers and suckouts. At their 1-2K limit table it is 6 max and often 4 playing. It is a whole different game. It isn't unusual to see the 'names' push crap all the way to the river and win. The 'doom switch' crowd will point and gesture. But, it is just a different version of the same game.
