Re: PLO in Vegas during the WSOP---Please keep here
I played 2-5 PLO at Rio today. It started around like 4:30pm through 8pm or so. The floor changed the max buyin to $1500, so it was pretty deep, but there wasn't much action anyway. A guy sat down who started creating action, but he busted within an hour on a string of pretty bad beats. A 5-10 game started around 6pm, and then another 2-5 table opened which caused our game to break. The "mississippi" straddle was reduced to a button straddle. True MS straddles are allowed from any poisition. There are also some huge games running all the time with thousands flying around, 25-25 and sometimes 25-50.
The 2-5 game felt not a whole lot different from 5-10 game online. Even more like 5-5 games on Pokerroom.com from when it was still open to Americans. It was my first experience playing PLO live though, so maybe I'm just slow to catch on to the differences. I think I'll try to get in it again tomorrow, if I bust from WSOP Event.
