This post inspired me to play a little PLO last night (it was a needed night off from the NL tables). I just single tabled a 6-max .25/.50 table. Man are the players horrible. I think I played about an hour (63 hands) and won ~$40 just playing tight and waiting for decent starting hands.

Get your FT rb issues worked out yet?

I play a lot of PLO and PLO8 but at very low stakes as I am still slowly building up my bankroll. I am a winning player, but a casual single tabler… so… it might be a while before I’m rubbing shoulders with you.

And I also frequent CC but don’t tend to post much serious in the way of poker as sometimes I feel like it can be a feeding frenzy of … well never mind… I just lurk and quip mostly.

But one reason I love PLO(8) is these are games where post flop play is somewhat more sophisticated than holdem. Once you play them holdem seems kinda 2 dimensional. Plus there seems (as you comment) to be far more mushy play at every level i have tried. Even with the inherent swingyness of omaha I make money easily playing either game (at the small limits).

In my humble opinion any NLHE player would benefit from spending time in this game as it develops a sensitivity in the post flop play that will help even really good nlhe players. At least once they stop being afraid of flushes and full houses back at the 2 card table.

None of these new friends were invited to my b-day bash Maybe next yearr.

I am not playing PLO at Cereus, that network has like 3 or 4 PLO tables during peak hours so it’s impossible to play there. Back at Stars for now.
