I'm certainly discovering that I am c-betting much less in Omaha than I was in NLHE. I guess the reason is obvious in that it is much more likely that your opponent has caught a piece of the flop in Omaha - the c-bet is nowhere near as powerful as it is in HE.

I've only been at this for a week or so since moving over but here is my strategy thus far:

If I've caught a decent piece of the flop and think I am ahead I pot.

If I have a draw with limited outs (8 or 9) I usually check behind because I don't want to be forced to fold to a c/r.

If I think I am behind at the moment but have a huge draw I like to bet about half the pot. This is likely to entice a call and build the pot. I may also pick up a free card if I miss one of my outs. Also I'm not as fearful of a c/r with this type of hand.

If I completely whiff I'm usually checking behind unless I have a pretty strong read that my opponent will fold. Even then I'm probably not c-betting this very often unless the opponent is weak and the flop is dry.

Overall I'm probably c-betting 60% of the time vs. close to 85% in HLHE.

I find that the c-bet is much more effective in PLO, actually. It's fine to check marginal hands (but that could easily be best hand or improve to best hand) that can't stand a raise sometimes, but when you completely whiff and you're up against one player, you should be c-betting close to 100% of the time unless you're up against a total call station, because it will work so much of the time and it's usually your only way to win the hand.
