IMHO, O8 is popular with the geezers because there is much less aggression than NLHE and even LHE. Low-limit O8 players often criticize others for frequent PF raises. They just want a friendly family-pot game. They also want to be able to draw a lot and make huge suckouts on the river. They mostly played stud/stud8 before they played O8, where they learned to love chasing.

I think the younger generation loves poker for the chance to make aggressive plays. Will they ever want to play no-foldem O8, where bluffing is almost futile?

I used to work as daytime floor in the Omaha/8 and small stud section at Hollywood Park from 1996 to 1999 or so. At the time we probably had more small Omaha/8 games 2/4 to 6/12) then anywhere on the planet. I believe your analysis is 100% spot on.
