Playing in the Red Dragon 4/8 Omaha game this week, an old gent turned over the holy grail of Omaha, the "Steel wheel", A/2/3/4/5 of spades to evidently scoop the pot. But wait, he is playing 5 cards! The floor is called, rules a misdeal, all money is refunded to all players in the pot, which also requires the retrieval of the rake. Took a few minutes to sort it out. I have only seen a few steel wheels, and never had one, even in thousands of online games. My royal flush results much better, usually one or 2 every year. I don't really understand why, as normally any suited cards 5 and under are usually playable, with of course A/2 and A/3 nearly always played.
Had two high hands on the board which pay $75, but both knocked off with minutes to go. It would have changed a slight loss to a break even or win day if they held up. As it was, turned around a 3.5x buy in loss day to just a 3/4 buy in loss. I can live with it. Still adjusting to the new venue and players. A reasonable game, sometimes wild but generally not.

What the heck? Didn't he realize he had too many cards? That's just crazy. I hope the new place turns out to be good for you.
Happy New Year to you and yours!
