FWIW, jamie Gold agrees w/ Rugby. Because in Hold Em you have to fold occasionally whereas in Omaha "you can basically play every hand".

My impression is that once you grasp it, PLO gets easier than LHE because there tend to be less close decisions and it's just a math game a huge % of the time.

If one game killed me and another bought me back id love that game over the other aswell.

I know this is not exactly whats happened to brian but who cares really, we all love when we win.

Maybe, just maybe, sbrugby is driven by his emotions like every other human. His results in PLO have been better than NL over the past couple months, so he is going to vouch for PLO right now.

This is the same guy who said he was bored with poker and had nothing more to accomplish (just 2 months ago, in the middle of his huge downswing), and now says he loves to wake up to poker every day.

Conclusion: Brian is a normal, living and breathing person.
