Higher stakes omaha (even bigger buy-in tourneys) is a lot different than the omaha we are used to.

I remember reading about some of the big hands on cardplayer during the world series of poker and simon trumper called a huge bet with a pair of 8s in his hand only to hear Julian Gardner say no pair.

In these types of games it seems as tho if you hit a pair or better on the flop and the other person doesnt have a whole lot of chips they call in order to try and outdraw them.
