Yeah, PLO is a great game. The reason I never got in to it is because the edges run smaller in PLO so weaker players have a better chance, whereas in Nl HE they're basically drawing dead. I can see PLO being a better game at high stakes because NL HE is just too simple and is hard to get an edge significant enough to beat the reak or just make good money. Whereas PLO there's a higher skill ceiling so it's easier to outplay people .

Yo I played a hand today, i defend my bb with QQJ6 ds and the flop came KQ4 giving me middle set + the second nut flush draw. I check raised the flop and this guy called me with T876 no draw, and then stacked off drawing dead on a ten turn. Truly bizarre.

 

[Splittingten's]

Yeah, that's pretty bad. It takes a special type of bad to do something like that.

I think he might have been on tilt.

 

[Splittingten's]

Well, he can't really call any bet, despite what pot odds he's getting because the board is paird and it's too easy for you to have a boat. There's also a flush draw on board. I don't know, just bizarre.
