A few more thoughts and some Omaha. I usually do not play below 15/30 hold em (easy game to beat as the large blind allows for weaker players to have a chance against rocks) as bluffing is such a big part of poker and is not effective below 15/30. In Omaha I will play anything as long as it is large enough. Primary rule for Omaha. All four cards must work together. A trick I learned in las Vegas. In places where there are lots of Omaha players who play every day, what you will often see is the "regulars" sort of working together. What they do, is not raise each other and try to hit the low nuts on the flop. The tourists do not know this is going on and the regualrs can scratch a few hundred bucks a day out of a 6/12-10/20 (often with a kill) using this approach. But there is a trick you can use to beat that game almost every night. Although I am not sure how long you could pay in the game as they get pretty upset-lol. The trick is this, to wait for a good hand high or low and then raise and reraise constantly. They are not used to this and cannot adapt and they also usually do not play high hands as they cannot flop the nuts in high. I live in the far north, so I don't get to las Vegas very often, but the last time I won every night I played using this tactic, but I felt it was good I left by the end of the week-g. My kid and her husband had just graduated from Berkely and I took them there for a vacation. We had lots of mad money that trip.
