My sit and gos have been going well lately, but I have recently taken up Omaha just to break the monotony. I particularly play the High/Low variant for the action of it. But besides being a fun diversion: I have been making a killing off it.
I think most players try to play Omaha at low limits because its an exciting game. But players seem to underestimate the complexity of the game. I often see players miss-read their hands (thankfully, full tilt does not provide players with hand readers). Players also have difficulty making the transition from No Limit to pot limit and fixed limit. As a result, they try to force aggression when the betting just doesn't allow them to. Finally, because of the split pots, I think bad players will win a little more with poor play than they will in Hold'Em, which means they will be less compelled to identify weaknesses in their game, and more compelled to play bad poker.
If anyone is going though a slump or just wants a break, I would definately recommend doing your homework on Omaha and taking a shot

On a totally unrelated subject, why are most of the forum users given the sub title "Fish Food"?

Regarding the "Fish Food" question, every rank on the forum has a aquatic-themed title (for obvious reasons). When users don't have many posts, they're still at the bottom of the food chain, so to speak. As you increase your post number, you earn a higher "rank" and a larger breed of fish.

About Omaha H/L, it's a fun game. I like to play it occasionally as a Sit and Go or low-stakes cash game. I am by no means an expert on that game, but here are a few quick things I would recommend that should allow you to hold your own for small stakes:

1. Don't draw for half the pot. This is especially true for the low. There is no reason to draw to a POSSIBLE low hand with no chance at the high. Why take a chance at just splitting the pot or, more likely, losing the whole thing?

2. Unimproved Aces should probably be dumped on the flop.

3. Don't draw to a non-nut hand. On the same thread, a non-nut hand should be dumped to much pressure.

4. The best hands are suited Aces with low cards.

Most players don't even understand the fundamental concepts of this game so, if you have the patience, you can make some money if you know your stuff.
