Sly, you are playing 25PLO over on stars right? How have the games on stars changed since moving up? Just moved up to 25 on FTP and it just seems so much softer than 10PLO.
You don't put the same amount of money in the pot when you lose? I don't know about you, but I'm not calling the river un-improved with a pair of ducks. Usually when we win, we get to put in a raise on a big bet street, and when we lose, we just fold the river. So there's actually a 3 big bet net difference in outcomes.
Seriously dude, do you think Sklansky is making this stuff up? Would you rather have a pair of queens against his king up?
You're playing a limit game. Small edges is all you get.still a marginal strategy IMHO.
Always wondered and I have asked before why we dont have a section for "other games". I have no idea how to play Omaha or stud well but love playing O/8 or Stud 8 and Razz.
I really think this forum is ready for a seperate section on "other games'
I think there should be enough interest
Thoughts???
You're playing a limit game. Small edges is all you get.
how often does your straights hold up against flush draws? What is the percentage?
Did I play this decently? Cap turn?

What level of Limit O8 should I be playing with a $100 roll.
Earlier in this thread, c9 asked PLO players to post their standard deviation stats. If you're not familiar w the idea, it's a measure of how "swingy" your winrate is, and also gives you an idea of how broad a range of winrates you could have based on your actual winrate.
Yeah, but win-rates are also a lot lower. You need to compare your standard deviation to your win-rate to get a true picture of which is more swingy. But for NLHE & PLO usually PLO has *roughly* the same win rates as NLHE (most of the time slightly higher for PLO, but you can still make a pretty good comparison).It also makes limit games pretty attractive - stdev for limit games is generally going to be alot lower (I'm mentioning this partly cuz of The Wall's q regarding br for LO8).
