Yes.
Why?
Because it's about the game known as PLO.
Here's what I've learned in about 50,000 hands.

That's about it.
Thought I knew what I was doing, I really did. Started off slow, losing about 3 buy-ins. Went on a 25 buy-in uptick, give or take, in about 10,000 hands. Next 10,000 hands or so, lost 20 buy-ins.
I'm still up.
But I'm pretty sure that when you get it in with the nuts and lose so often, well, I all can say is, "Head, meet wall."
Smash.
I once flopped top quads in PLO and lost -- to a runner, runner gutshot jack-high straight flush. I was suicidal for a month.
ReplyDeleteGod I love that game.
Funny thing is, I think I feel the exact same way about Hold'EM.
ReplyDeleteWell except in my case, it's more like mouse meet wall.

My PLO experience:
ReplyDeleteGoto war pre-flop with A's or any 4 card high straight.
Two pair is death.
Only draw to the nuts on the flop.
Always raise with the nuts.
If you hit a back-door draw, it's OK to raise the non-nuts in an unraised pot, but only on the river.
Two pair is death.
Play between 4pm - 7pm EST to catch the drunk euro-donks.
Two pair is death.
Only play with people in other countries.
Never play with a table with people from 2 of the same country (collusion abounds)
