Good article Sam! This should get some to consider playing the game more often. I agree that there are a good many inexperienced players in Omaha HI. Many that do not play the game may not realize this, but I believe it to be true.. at least online that is. Many times Omaha games online won't have nearly as many players either, which makes for some good values as well sometimes.
One of the things that I run into is that many try to play Omaha Hi too much like they play NLHE and end up meeting their demise all too soon in a tourney setting. Big hands are so much more prevalent in Omaha than Holdem and they seem to want to bet preflop to much as well. Patience is still the best virtue in Omaha imho. It's easy to spot the inexperienced Omaha player, so just be patient yet aggressive when you need to be.
