Mostly Pot limit.

Because of the action.

The top level players have played alot of holdem, there is a lack of high stakes holdem fish and overall there is less gamble in that game. They are also all really good at nl holdem so its just....not as fun, for everyone.

Omaha there is more action, more gamble in the game in general, while there is for sure skill in the game of omaha... like I said there is more gamble so its fun for pros to play other pros because of alot of "luck factor" in the game.

Omaha does get a lot of action, its fun to switch from holdem and play different game sometimes. And yea the pro does get more action on omaha then nlhe.

In Europe it is the game of choice. I think it will one day pass Hold'em by as the game of choice.

You really think so?
Where I live Omaha seems less popular comared to Hold Em than it was 3 or 4 years ago.
