I can believe it can be frustrating but I do love to play it.

Omaha is played similar to Texas Hold'Em but each person is dealt 4 hole cards. In their final hand they MUST use 2 and only 2 of their hole cards. Because of the 4 hole cards your hands get a bit better but where 2 pair or three of a kind wins often in Texas, that is not the case in Omaha.

I may have heard about Omaha Hold'em before once or twice, but I have yet to play it to date. Heck, I still really do not even know on how it is played, or what is involved to know about it. Maybe a Wikipedia or Google search should be in order tonight...

I've never heard of Omaha Hold'em. Did they try too hard to make it different and thus complex in the rules or is it just complex to start with?

Any players out there? I read an article that said this is one of the most frustrating games of poker that you will ever play and that was from a group of professional players!! I love the game but admit I have a long way to go to be any good at it.
