Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 1503863, member: 23910"] It's not that they couldn't be made to understand it, at least at a basic level. It's that they just don't want to watch it. Why do you think ESPN refuses to show anything other than NLHE events at the World Series? It's because they've done their research and that's all that people want to see on TV. Everything else has been ratings suicide and they've shown pretty much every game at some point, including plenty of PLO, so they should know. The mechanics of Omaha are easy enough to explain to a NLHE audience. But the strategies are very different and much harder for the everyman (who, let's face it, seems happy to watch AK get all in preflop against 77 for the hundredth time over) to get his head around.
