The Importance of Position: Hold'em vs. PLO

[Motorcycle Mike]

As a NLHE 6 max player that has recently converted to PLO, I have been reading as much of the limited material out there as possible. One of the books most recommended was: How Good is your Pot Limit Omaha, by Stewart Reuben.

In this book there is a hand analysis on page 22. In answer 1 he states that, "Position is MUCH LESS important in Omaha High than it is in Hold'em or Omaha High-Low.

WTF????

Without question position is important in both games, but is this really the case???
