It went and was h.o.e. I'd play just holdem or holdem and stud8 happily. It's Omaha I'd get rid of. Plus, while your certainly right that stud 8 hands take longer and it can be a drag waiting for next hand when you''re out, I'd argue that they are much more fun and exciting to play: when you''ve got a hand that could go either way or scoop in an aggressively played multiway pot, you'd never describe the action as "snail paced" ... in my experience it is one of the most exhilarating poker experiences . You're right that hands take longer, but , when you're in it, that's actually a good thing!
