I've found I'm slightly profitable at 25PLO just playing off instincts. I'm really looking for a good PLO book or article to step my game to the next level.

I tried the strategy section on CC but the only substantial series is on PLO/8 and I'm looking for Omaha hi. Nothing from the search feature.

The gold standard PLO books are Jeff Hwang's Pot-Limit omaha poker and Advanced Pot-Limit Omaha. The first focuses on a big bet game, the second on small ball and short handed play. I'm not sure if he's got a third book out yet, but start with Pot-Limit Omaha Poker. From what I've found it's the best out there.

I agree on the first book, the second got some spotty reviews. Also try Farha on Omaha if you like the hi-variance gambling approach. Not as structured as Hwang but deals a bit more with psychology of the game (in Sammy's case that means fearless)...

Jeff Hwang writes a monthly column about PLO in CardPlayer magazine which you can catch online or subscribe to. Many poker rooms also give this mag away free. Also, I think that Poker Player Newspape has a bi-weekly column about PLO as well.
