Rate the level of play in the $200/$400 PLO games

[ben wb]

Everyone is a high variance player in these games, Benyamine has had a $2 million + downswing this year

I dont get how any of them handle it, cant be a huge edge and the variance is >>>>> Hold em

I think the only person who can really beat this game is Ivey as said before me, when he's on his A game. It seems Ivey comes and plays just to toss around cash and see what he can make doing it. The few times I've seen Ivey actually play (usually by stating so after getting laughed and/or challenged at) is amazing.

DB, Kai, and everyone else are good, but definitely not the best. A few of the best would be OMGClay, PA (seems to be coming round less and less), and Ziig on a good day. BT, Genius, DaFool, Smokey are below DB and Kai.

Have to agree with this, not that I am under the impression that my opinion has any value whatsoever. I remember when DB was coming out of his downswing earlier in the year he had taken off a full (6-handed) PLO table, everybody had quit him and he was sitting on around 150K. Ivey joins the table and buys in for 16. Twenty minutes later Benyamine is sitting out with around 10K and change, having been simply dominated. 1 session, I know, but I have not before or since seen the aggressive Benyamine turned into the passive check-caller Ivey made him. At the end it was like he was cowering in the corner.

I also do not think Antonius can beat Ivey for the long term, even at HU NL.

PA i think is better at hu nl holdem in the long run than ivey

ill respectfully disagree and leave it at that.
