Same as Texas Hold’em, but you get four cards in your hand and you only get to use two. And you HAVE to use two.

Fun.

Actually, there are many different forms of haiku - 5,7,5 is just the more traditionally well known form. But this surely pedantic minutiae.

And I *hate* Omaha. I cannot square my head with a game in which being dealt four aces is a fundamentally bad hand (as one has only a pair of aces, and cannot improve as there are no remaining outs!)

Give me Texas Hold ‘Em any day of the week.

I think I won because of the wackiness.
I like the chaos involved in Omaha.

We normally play Texas Hold ‘Em at lunch, and I like it, but it’s fairly predictable who is going to win most of the time (proving, in my mind at least, that it is obviously a game of skill).

It’s fun to watch people who think they have an awesome hand suddenly lose to someone with a pair of threes
