Re: Is PLO getting big big bigger?

Dear internet friends and pen pals,
Is pot-limit Omaha becoming more in vogue these days? Or am I just hearing more because I'm listening more? Is it gonna be the new steez and I should start learning how to play it right now?

It attracts action junkies, Scandinavians, and NLHE players that are bored with their game. Relative to NLHE games with the same blinds PLO pots are bigger, more players seeing the flop, and there is much more variance (my PLO std per 100 is twice my NLHE std per 100 the variance). In some sense all three of these differences can be related to the fact that in Omaha hand equities are much closer - you are seldom a huge favorite and people will often have odds to draw by virtue of bets being limited to the pot.
