Nice analysis, but completely mistaken. The time taken for an average player to both stop losing money and become an expert are significantly shorter in PLO8 than any other game. It's not just a matter of counting cards. The split pot nature of the game, the pot limit betting structure and the frequency of nut hands mean that the game has far more certainty, and it's far easier to approach optimal play with a very little study (or intelligence). This is not true for any other game
[/ QUOTE ] I think that this is certainly true for PLO8 vs NLHE, or even PLO8 vs PLO. Im NOT sure that this is true with LO8 vs LHE, especially when played at higher limits or in SH games.
