Re: 14 card NL Omaha...does anyone fold?
Omaha doesn't have to have 4 hole cards. 5-card and 6-card Omaha are played for decent stakes in casinos in Europe all the time. I've even played them in casinos in the US actually late at night when the players all agree.
On this hand, if you care about the money at all, you should fold though. You've only got one ace (so one nut suit, K-hi suits won't matter) and you've got trips in your hand as well as a low pair that's almost worthless. Basically in order, here are the card combos that would be helpful in this game:
1) Suited aces (since a flush will often be the nuts)
2) High pairs (for full houses and the occasional nut set)
3) High cards (for full houses)
4) Connected cards (for when no flush or board pair comes)
