Pros only play omaha cash, why?

Because PLO is a better game?

This is what happens when people start boycotting their favorite forums. They gotta make trouble at the forum next door to break the tedium.

Im not even a PLO guy. I play mainly LHE/LO8. PLO8 seems flawed in that there's less possibility for intricate play between very good opponents. Also, what dave said.. easier transition/more fun for holdem donks. More scooping = more gamboool.

I'll admit that my first reaction was total disagreement to this, but I'd like to hear your reasoning and others' viewpoints first.

at first I thought this thread was going to be about why higher stakes PLO games were much more common than PLO8.

easier transition for hold em players.

This is my vote, aside from it not being spread live ever

i have noticed that the players on full tilt sign up for 08 sngs a lot faster than stars in the 10-30 non turbo sngs.I came to the conclusion that it is bc the pros seem to play omaha a lot.Omaha is just a better game,hi and hi lo,seems to me there is much more skill involved.When you play nl holdem,you hardly ever have someone drawing dead,but in omaha ,you flop set over set or higher flush and they are drawing to one out or dead.omaha will eventually take over the poker world....

So how often you have someone drawing dead determines skill? What?

[sharky21222]

I believe that it is a more skillfull game bc of that.I also know that you can flop the nuts and be behind and that happens frequently but the times you have your opponent drawing to one out and drawing dead makes up for that.

I just think pot limit is a bad format for split games because it gives the lows too much power and makes hand-reading too murky of an affair.
