PLO is my new favorite game

NUGGEETTEE · Jun 8, 2019

I've started to play PLO on ingnition poker and I love it. The game is difficult as there are way too many outs and sometimes I may lose a whole buy in before I see a second hand but the cash is much more looser. Kind of hard to play NLH after playing PLO

I am also Russian, but I cant read or write. Skills get better with play.

I always have a PLO phase. My typical game is Hold'em but every now and then I'll get into a big PLO phase, also on Ignition, where I play the PLO Hyper Turbo Sit & Gos. I also prefer PLO ring games to Hold'em.

I also like this game, I recently played it in CWOOP for $ 11, I thought that I could not do it, and I played badly, but I was able to go far in prizes and took 60th place.

I’m playing more PLO than HE. Standard play I’m seeing is a shove with AAxx preflop. Shove of the flop with wrap plus flush draw/blocker. Or shove with top set with flush draw/blocker
Turn is where either players fold with no outs or hang on to the river with nuts draws or made hands that hope to stay nut

True, PLO is more dynamic, is more easy to willing for bet, see what will happen, always have some kind of move to do, i like PLO but don't have much tournaments, has more cash game

I'm happy to hear about a new Omaha player! Stick with it! Yes, it is looser. You have to remember the board will most likely pair, and a full house basically wins the money.

well I like them both. But no limit holdem has less variance than omaha so I play

Well, I personally think that NL Holdem can get boring at times, especially in cash games I tend to feel like a robot. PLO is more fun, dynamics and surprises and also, the chance tosometimes be on the good end of a bad beat hand is bigger

Another big advantage that PLO has compared to NL Holdem is that in tournaments the standard structure has no antes, so you can even play it really tight, wait for a decent hand to play with without losing money folding marginal hands! :driver:

Well, since you are holding 4 cards instead of 2, having the nuts is far more common, top pair top kicker is not a made hand. In general this means, everybody flops something, some hand or draw, which results in a lot more action. This also means, ranges are closer and so is your edge, having 60%/40% favor odds in Omaha is really great and shove-able in some cases, while you're not going broke with those odds when playing holdem. Also the 4 cards combinations are far greater than in holdem, which makes the game a lot more complicated. Difference between nutty hands and not is small, which enables you to make profit on players who make that mistake.
