Early observation

I'd say right off the bat that Omaha suits my temperament: patience and paranoia. Two qualities that serve each other quite well. After my straight and K high flush went down to a boat and nut flush, I think I get it.

Even though I lost my initial buy-in in short order, I managed to get half of it back by the end of the session. A moral vitory.

Yeah, Omaha can get crazy. Two pair will win several times in a row, then it becomes a boat-over-boat fest... I like the game, but I'm not very good at it.
