The only impediment is this: Will the audience be overwhelmed by the number of cards?

Make them play PLO but show in TV only the two cards that play in a certain hand, if the hand goes to showdown. If the hand doesn't go to showdown, show two random cards from players' hand. Should be fun.

That's was really funny.

I hope to God some ignorant TV producer isn't in charge of deciding what cards are "in play."

If you have a good PLO hand, all four of your cards will be "in play," meaning relevant to the play of the hand.

Example:

Flop 6H 7H As
Hand 5c 8s 9H QH

Thus, you have a "wrap" straight draw + flush draw. If you take out one of the cards, you'll lose either the "wrap" or the flush draw, or both.

So making the cards easier to comprehend would have to involve something other than omitting cards. Maybe they can use highlights to indicate made hands and other effects to indicate draws or redraws.

In any case, they gotta show all the cards.
Imagine if they were playing 2-7 draw but the TV only showed three cards!
