No Limit Omaha 8/b - Please Explain This Game To Me...

[Omaha8sPoker]

I played my first extended amount of NLO8 tonite on Stars, 4 tables of $100...And not gonna lie I just don't get the game...I mean there are people open shoving preflop for 170-200 BB into the blinds...I found myself doing this a few times as well as it seemed to be the acceptable way to play AA...

I flopped middle set once, bet out $3 which was a pot sized bet only to have the great mustafa come over me for $200...

I mean is this seriously playing cards??? Any effing nit can shove 200 BBs into a pot and take it down, it requires ZERO skill to do this, which is probably why that donk likes the game...It's not like PLO8 where you are constricted by the betting limits so you can't just check raise your opponent for 200 BBs...

This is like what Negreneau (sp?) was saying about the WSOP, he bets 1000 into a 1500 chip pot and somebody goes over the top for 40,000...I agree with him when he says that is not cards...

I know there is a strategy that can exploit this stupidity and I'm sure if I play this godawful game long enough I'll figure it out, but this just makes Omaha 8/b a friggin crapfest...
