5/10 omaha 8/b at Resorts EC

[bhiatt]

I've driven up to play this game the last two Saturdays (Resorts only spreads Omaha on the weekends). The first time (1/27), the game was six-handed when I sat down (around 3 p.m.), and wheezed along for 2-3 hours before the evening rush filled the seats with players waiting for hold'em. Last Saturday, I sat down again to a six-handed game around 2 p.m. This time, within an hour, one guy left, two others busted, and that was that--the game broke up.

What gives? I've been at Resorts many times when the Omaha list was at least 10 deep. The older regulars that play 5/10 hold'em seem to love it, but apparently no one wanted to play the last two Saturdays.
