It sure feels like nobody would fold after the flop, and that each hand would take like 20 minutes. Sounds fun though

No. There are two boards at showdown.
There are a total of nine cards in the common boards,
3 flop 1 turn
-------------- 1 river
3 flop 1 turn
The river plays with both boards.
Yes.
No. There are some folds. However, there is more action.
That's the downside. Each hand does take longer, not 20 minutes, not that long, but longer. The more cards there are to consider, the slower is the game. And considering both high and low also takes longer. Pretty hard to beat Texas hold 'em for a fast poker game.
For my money it's hard to beat regular Omaha-8. But Juarez does add some variety.
Yes.

I assume you can use any2 from your 5 for each board?

Called "Big Mitt" in Texas. Was probably the biggest action game during the 90s in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Victoria, CC, Austin etc. Seems to have died out with the HE revival.
There are strategic aspects to this game that trap the plo8 player.
I played a couple of sessions at the Rio and thought they were good games. I was down $40 for both sessions.
Here's a quiz: I'm in the CO with A
2388; Three see a flop of 865; I am whipsawed all in. How much of the pot did I win?
Hint 1: One opponent had KKQ43, other didn't show.
Hint 2: Turn was an A, river was a 2.
/bbv, but a fairly common story.
If you want Big O threads, it might be best to post specific hands and ask for comments.
