the thing is that, for about the past 5 years people have been saying PLO is the "future of poker", that within a couple years PLO is going to become huge. and although a lot of the high stakes players are partial to it, the overall growth has been much much less than most people predicted

NLHE has a simplicity that seems to innately appeal more to the average person. tv networks have tried televising PLO, but the ratings have consistently shown that people want to watch NLHE

i'm not saying PLO [I]can't[/I] become as popular as NLHE, but i no longer think it's a foregone conclusion that it will. maybe if FTP or PS will put together a super high stakes 6max PLO televised cash game with all the sickest gamblers, to really emphasize the action/gambling side of it, and then hype it up big time, get a good time slot and network. i think if something can be done to get the average tv viewer hooked, that could snowball and lead to a big PLO movement. without that happening, i'm not sure
