Nice hand in pot limit omaha

To be clear, this is not one of my own played hands. I am not such a huge fan of pot limit games, and not one of Omaha poker either. But some minutes ago I saw a good friend of me catching a real nice pot in PLO, especially for such low stakes. Don’t think you can’t blame the other two players for being in this huge pot. Two guys have flopped the nut straight, one of them was drawing to a royal flush too. Ok, the other did a quite loose call preflop, I admit. But the weakest hand on the flop got the jackpot,  hehehe. Nice catch, sir !!!

But, off the record! Could someone please explain me why so many people play Pot Limit Poker (Omaha) games. Why is it so much fun, because at the moment I just don’t get it. I think it’s just one huge drawing festival. Or is it commonly played by n00bs who don’t care about their money? :p An explanation is welcome Cheers

AQ vs. 97os

I was watching some pokervids on YouTube and came across this fine hand. I like the style of Marcus preflop: raising with a 97 offsuit. That would be definitely my play too It’s a shame he doesn’t get paid off for being such a genius, I think he really deserved it!!! hehe
