Default Re: Andrew Albright\'s PLO article

I just skimmed through it but I think the situation it examines, ie. top set on a draw heavy board which will have a redraw to the nuts no matter which draw completes), isn't very interesting. Looking at something like a nut straight or nut flush OOP when turn brings a flush or FH would have been more interesting.
It might be because it's late and I'm tired but I don't like it, whos it aimed at people who've never played PLO ever? I get that the point of it is to show that the EV of betting the turn is higher than not but it can be summarised by saying IF YOU HAVE TOP SET ON A DRAW HEAVY BOARD OOP AND CAN GET MOST OF YOUR STACK IN ON ANY TURN DO IT BECAUSE YOU CAN ALWAYS FILL UP ON THE RIVER IF BEHIND

Stuff like this doesn't help either..
"However, if you are OOP against one or more tough opponents that will use position to exploit you, just slow down and/or throw the hand away before committing any money on the flop. A tough opponent will of course bluff you some of the time too adding to the difficult situation."

Throw away top set in a raised pot? Ermmm O.K.
