Tonight while playing I was involved in two of the biggest pots I've ever been in. I'm beginning to really love Omaha8 as you can seperate bad players from their money very quickly. First hand I made a nut straight and let two other guys duke it out for the low, and I took half of a $90 pot. Then about 10 minutes later I have QQ88, and the pot is raised quite a bit to me preflop, but I call, and flop comes K558Q and I take down an $80 pot all to myself. Here are the hand details for anyone interested.

I'm working on an article about Omaha and Stud strategy, but dunno when it will be ready.
