Re: When will a new mixed game standard come in?
I play in a home game that is a rotation of NLHE/PLO/PLO8. We also sometimes throw in PL Stud8. I think the limit betting structure has something to do with HE players not wanting to play the other games, which I understand as I much prefer big bet myself, but I think a lot of it also has to do with the lack of exposure from TV and the perceived complicatedness of the other games. Another home game I go to has started to spread a PLO table and after trying it once all of the NLHE fish are scared away b/c they feel so lost when they play it. They suck as NLHE, but they don't think they do. They know they are bad at the other games and are too stupid to learn them. Anyways, I completely agree w/ OP, I love to play all the games but also prefer to play big bet, but it can be hard to get games going for small stakes big bet besides HE.
