Limpers in Omaha

Have you noticed that if you have played Omaha, and even worse if it is a tournament with a reward, all the players at the table enter the hand? That in my opinion generates a game more of luck or fanaticism than of strategy, what do you think?

It's still a game where the flop is more important than NLH, so play hands that hit the nuts or a nut draw - like hands with high pocket pairs, suited aces, and high and middle rundowns.

I think Omaha is naturally more high variance especially if you allow limpers.. but if everyone is entering every hand that tells me they either don't know how to play or their hand selection is terrible, both of those can be good things for an experienced Omaha player... use it to your advantage 👍

In Omaha everyone will always want to see the flop that's fixed

I've been playing a few Omaha tournaments recently and when I raise preflop with strong hands, they always get busted with some crappy hand. Even if you raise in vain, many people do not know that you have to pay attention to completely different things here than in Texas Hold'em and they try to get into the game with every hand. The more players in the game, the less chance you have to win.
Of course, there may be fewer maniacs in higher stakes tournaments. Unfortunately, there is a slaughterhouse in small-stakes tournaments.

Omaha is often called the "game of the flop"!!! If in regular hold'em in most cases you try to build your line of play after seeing your pocket hands preflop, then in Omeha your line of play depends more on the flop!!!

Many of your hands in O actually are most dynamic on turns especially in multiway pots . We will often pot control flopped straights multiway for instance if we do not have strong redraws with it.

The variance increases but there is still a lot of strategy when playing O multiway---for instance we will fold not open our worst AAxx hands preflop EP if we know we will go multiway. We will also call not 3 bet our medium strength AAxxss hands if we know that it will still go multiway if we raise
Multiway we play KKxx as a set mine only which means we always flat it even if it is double suited

The reason for this is we get max equity post flop when we hit so we want to see as many cheap flops as possible and then max out the nuts only
