In the other article, FTR's |~|ypermegachi provides help for players just learning to play Omaha. In particular, this guide gives tips on beating Limit Omaha Hi-Lo (also called Omaha 8-or-Better) at low stakes. Here's an excerpt:

Low stakes limit O8 is said to be one of the lowest variance games in poker, especially when played at a full ring table. There are a variety of reasons for this. Firstly, most players at low stakes are simply just very bad. LO8 is an action game and draws the attention of people who want to gamble and have a good time. Ironically, LO8 is also the best game for a nit (gambler who does not want to gamble). LO8 is one of the few games that can satisfy both gamblers and nits. NLHE does not qualify because the bad players bust too quickly. PLO does not qualify because that is a true gambler’s game and not very well catered for nitty players. LO8 is one of those games where bad players don’t lose their money too quickly; mediocre players can make small winnings; and good players can kill the game with relative ease.
