This hand made me throw up a little inside my mouth

Wowsers . Hence why I hate limit omaha. Not one person in that hand should have made it to showdown, or at least all the money should have gone in on the turn. WTF are these people doing cold calling raises left and right with such terrible low draws on the flop??????? Next time just show down 8834 and take EVERYTHING!!!!!!

O8 very frustrating. I have no idea how to play that game. I figured out that the only hands I scooped were when I was playing high only and there was no low. So, I might as well be playing regular Omaha, which is better for me.

I suck at O8, seems like it takes more luck than HE at least for me, especially at limit O8. PL is probably a different story but I'm not confident enough to try PL since, well, I suck
