How do you avoid becoming a nut peddler in Omaha?

[mephisto]

Serious question. I've been silently reading hand posts here on and off and a lot of the advice advocates very tight open raising ranges and check/folding a ton. Not to say that is what is advocated in every post but I see a trend. How do I avoid becoming a nut peddler, staying creative, and make money in omaha? Are these mutually exclusive?
