Actually, a 1/2 Omaha game did open up after Tercet posted that (around 11.30) and we both joined it. I hadn't been intending to stay late, but couldn't resist.
Despite the speculation of a poster above that Omaha at Woodbine would get clueless players, we wound up with a full table of (mostly) pretty PLO-aware players (a couple of whom I've played 20-40 limit Omaha with at GBH). The two or three who were not at least somewhat familiar with PLO didn't last long and were replaced by better.
The hand of the evening for me came around 90 minutes into the game. I had about $600 in front of me. (By then I was down about $400, having lost most of that when I went all in heads up on the flop with a nut straight on a rainbow board -- to lose to a wrap that only had, as it turned out, 4 outs.)
With the board showing 9c7c4x, I was under-the-gun with AcKc6x3x, I bet 20 into a $40 pot, a middle player raised the pot and the player on the puck shoved all in for $450. I deliberated for a while, then reluctantly called. The middle player folded.
The puck showed top two with no redraws except to the full house (and I later learned the middle player folded the same top two). My club came on the turn.
When I got home, the online Omaha odds calculator I consulted showed me a marginal underdog. But, since the pot was giving me an overlay, it was a clear call, if still a close one. (Mind you, I didn't make those calculations in game conditions.)
