[Micturition Man]

I think the advantage is bigger in PLO.

Hands being closer in value means:

1. You can stick it in pre more often,

2. You gain a lot more by being all-in on the flop because even when you missed the flop you still have substantial equity... in NL when you miss you are typically way behind.

3. The preflop domination effect is a lot less significant in PLO which means you will rarely be hurt for your inability to get 100 BB's in preflop. (Except against big donks.)

and

4. In practice it is WAY more common for someone to play PLO too loose than to play NLHE too loose. (I would say easily 80%+ of FTP 200/400 PLO players play too loose pre.)
