If you think five-card Omaha is wild, try mixing it with tic-tac-toe, especially as JV suggests (he calls it "Bughouse" in the book, and adds in the option to use all five cards in your hand instead of making your hand from two in your hand and three on board; I call this game "Tic-Tac-Dough," in honor of one of my favorite game shows)

Yeah I forgot about the Player's Club! I grew up in Ventura, but was too young to play there when I lived there...I was referring to Chumash casino in Santa Ynez, and although the poker room is dying there they probably still spread it. Time to head back to Ventura this week!
