Pros only play omaha cash, why?

[strde635]

If you check out any professionals using a buddy system like <font color="green">word deleted - Buzz</font>, you will find that the professionals are playing PL Omaha cash games only. Why is this so?

I've been playing NL holdem for a few years now and i might need to switch my game up because for some reason the professionals arent playing it. Can somebody help me discover why?

What do they know here that I dont?

Thanks.

omaha is gamble gamble fun. holdem is boring with a game full of expert players so that extra variance is up their alley.

Why are you posting this in the O/8 forum? Also, what do you care what the "pros" do? I guarantee more people are making a living playing NLHE than PLO, but I think by "pros" you meant TV players.

Agreed, simply because more people play NLHE. Not many average professionals reside in the 200/400 NLHE. They are at much lower stakes.

Ya rly. I'd cream my pants and have a heart attack if Omaha or O8 had anywhere near the player pool that NLHE does. Look at anything below ultra nosebleed stakes and there is a huge discrepancy.

Higher limit players also love badugi and 2-7TD. I suggest you switch to those.

at first I thought this thread was going to be about why higher stakes PLO games were much more common than PLO8. I think thats a much more interesting(and pertinent for this forum) topic, so lets just discuss that. And I'm talking about online only, as I already understand why it'd be more popular in person due to the annoyance of splitting pots manually.

Because PLO is a better game?
