Omaha at Prima Rooms

Anyone play Omaha at Prima (Microgaming)? I have an account at Doyleroom, but I have never played there.

I used to like the Prima network, but not anymore.....rather stick to Stars....too many luckboxes on Prima, IMO

What are luck boxes?

In laymans terms, someone who's lucky beyond belief.

Urban Dictionary's site really goes in depth:

A person so full of luck in poker that it is disgusting and ridiculous. There is surely some skill involved, but a luckbox will demonstrate more luck mixed in with that skill than any other player.....ever......in the history of the world......even more than Chris Moneymaker, which is just absurd.

I wish this guy was still around; he was my personal ATM for almost a week straight. I haven't seen him in ages:

Phew, Im glad I never featured in that post. I tend to stick to stars and FT when playing omaha. I multi table so these are the only sites I really get a constant flow of games

I've railed the 25/50PLO game at Stars many of times and have seen people play just as bad there as they do at .25/.50. I wish I had the BR to play that high.

For example: Pushing with Aces preflop out of position (the correct play,) but then bet pot on a paired flop, get raised, then re-raise all in for $1000+ more? That's HORRIBLE. 9 times out of 10, they're dead to an ace.
