You have no idea how much I've bugged my friends about trying Omaha and they're just not interested, it's NLHE or nothing for them.

They're definitely missing out for several reasons.

1) 6 different starting hands instead of only having 1.

2) I have a chance of making several hands, making my drawing power greater.

3) Less chance of being rivered.

4) A straight on the board in Hold'em, all the players split if no one has a higher straight. Doesn't happen in Omaha.

5) Omaha involves more skill, at least at the beginner level.

6) Omaha has an amazing straight possibility system.

7) I’m sure Omaha is full of bad beats as well but I’ve never felt worse about losing a hand when it was a 4 card luck flush or straight that my opponent wasn’t even going for.

8) Omaha doesn't reward bad play as often as Hold'em does. Playing with beginners in NLHE frustrates the hell out of me when they hit hands that almost seem impossible without unbelievable luck to win with garbage.

Omaha wins everytime for me.
