These guys know what's up. When it comes to poker, the action junkies are at the Omaha tables. Insanely fun to play and watch.
Why would action junkies be at NL omaha? They have incredibly worse odds of making money. If you're action junkie at NL Omaha then you are literally playing the game wrong. You may as well flip a coin for when you win.

They'd be at an Omaha table because there's more action. Hence them being action junkies. I didn't mention anything about playing the game right or wrong. It's gambling and you play way more flops and get way more draws in Omaha vs Texas Hold'em.

I don't believe there is more action at NLO. There doesn't seem to be a reason why even if people see more flops. If it's cash then people will still play well (unless it's some 1/3 shit) but that's not action.

Even then, the biggest action tends to be NLHE cause certain tables require you to give action or else you cannot participate. Or you go to Macau and find one of the many 6+ games.

Hold Em is my go to poker game, but if you want thrilling, something with more variance, like Omaha or Badugi might fit the bill.
