Omaha - Pot or fold

Same as regular PLO, with the little exception that the first player on every street has to either bet the pot or fold.
That is, the first player on the flop may not check.
After a PSB has been made, call and raise pot are the options besides folding.

How does this (sick) game change the position dynamics?
Depends a lot on stack sizes?

A lot depends on stack size.

I don't think its a material change. Any good player stops playing hands UTG, and becomes significantly tighter in early position.

I'd actually limp from late ALOT knowing the loose crap coming toward me.

I wouldn't defend the blinds a lot.

and how often it is raised preflop. The more I think about it, i'd probably play very, very few hands in the first 3 positions, or even as the first 3 to act preflop. Don't like being 2nd to go flop and UTG potting, understand my drift, that's almsot worse than being UTG.

The more raises preflop, tighten WAY up early. If she's pasive preflop I could see almost 75% of hands, fit or fold obviously. Seems juicy if you keep yoru head and are properly rolled.
