One more thing, have you checked out the new Downstream casino on the Quapaw Res near Joplin? They have a 1/2 5 Rock HA game that would be great to introduce you to Omaha. There is a round of NLHE, and a round of PLO high, without increasing blind levels, of course (as it is a ring game). The blinds are 1&2 like a standard 200NL game, however, there is a 5 straddle rock (usually 5 $1 chips bundled with a band or tape) that stays out on the felt, and whoever dragged the previous pot is awarded position the subsequent hand Preflop. Essentially the preflop action starts to the left of the straddle rock, and future streets retreat to standard position. Furthermore, the initial buy-ins range from 100-200, however, as the game progresses and substantial stacks develop, it becomes a 75% game, where newcomers may load up to 3/4 of the big stack. It is an interesting twist, and good opportunity to learn PLO in a live setting, without being a complete railbird.
