Message: [QUOTE="pricecube, post: 1697963, member: 78723"] I started playing PLO a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it, probably because it was nice to take a break from NLHE. If you think of your 4 PLO hole cards as six NLHE hands, that can be quite useful. For example, KK23 might look good because of KK but remember your hand also includes trash like K2 and K3. So starting hands requirements are different. And while top two pair is great in NLHE, it's far more likely to be behind in PLO. As far as whether it's easier to beat than NLHE is concerned, I think PLO has far more variance. If you play against people who don't know what they're doing of course there's a chance their junky hand will beat your good hand. I'd be tempted to say you need a bigger bankroll for a specific limit in PLO than you would for the same limit in NLHE. [/QUOTE]
