Play a lot of limit poker: hold'em stud, stud 8, razz, others Answered 1 year ago · Author has 3.6K responses and 2.3M responses PLO by a lot. You can miss the best hand, but actually be behind... you currently have the best hand, but you still don't have a plurality of equity in the pot. In hold'em, if possible, it would be extremely rare.  Now, if you just want to bet a ton of money for the thrill of it and don't give a damn that you have a negative long-term expectation, the PLO is probably a better and more fun choice. In hold'em while it's certainly possible to have an amazing run playing like shit, it's more likely in the PLO....the variance (deviation from expected value over a relatively short — a single session is certainly short — hands) is much higher in the PLO than in the NLHE.  Also beware: OLP tends to play much bigger than NLHE with comparable blind sizes. Watching a 5-5 or 10-10 OLP gives me heart palpitations just watching the staggering amount of money changing hands in some of the pots. It's a thrill-seeking player's wet dream - as long as your pockets are deep enough.
