So recently I've decided to really start barking up the PLO tree with a few of my friends from NLHE having pretty good success (*cough* newmanmi *cough* bigbox). It's been working out surprisingly well. Obviously, I've had a few mistakes on the way to starting to figure out the ins and outs of mid-stakes PLO but it seems like other regulars are making far more mistakes than me. I've been basically only 6tabling and trying to start as many tables as I can to get there. So here's a really silly hand history from a NLO table (that's right no limit omaha)... it's good to beat up fish on these tables but its such a clunky game that there is reason for it to ever be played by competent players...

***** Hand History for Game 40483182364 ***** (Merge)

$400.00 USD PL Omaha - Tuesday, September 13, 04:06:29 ET 2011

That's right... its a 3k 2/4NLO pot. Just plain silly and I can't believe I faded a pair.

Anyways, here's been my results so far... anyone think I'm running hot?

Boom.

I've heard once you go PLO... you can never go back to holdem. So this outta be fun once the run good wears off. Cheers.
