The world is a place full of questions. In face of such brain twisters as “What exactly is martinizing?”, “Where is Jimmy Hoffa buried?”, and “Whatever happened to baby Jane?”, the question of what to do on the flop looks pretty small. |
 Counterfeiting in Omaha has some negative connotations, but not quite as severe as if you are using your basement as a factory for $20 bills. |

 In Holdem, your biggest fear is probably that Stanley from New York didn’t fold when he should have, and might catch a lucky card on the river. In Omaha, you have much more territory to defend. |
 Let’s face it: the folks who became poker players are the ones who didn’t share their toys well as children. Splitting a pot is an almost obscene concept to most players. |
