Surpised someone does not compile their best non-flaming posts, edits them and makes a workbook.

Rolf Slotboom has written a decent book on PLO and i think it is +EV. I was just hoping for a book written 2+2 style with a PRO like maybe Ray Zee along with a great 2+2 player/poster as a co author.

i mean it would be -ev in the sense that the money you might make from a book probably wouldn't compare with the money you'd lose if your main games got significantly harder to beat. That said this probably isn't a legitimate concern, since most of the bigger games already play pretty well. I can totally see the .25-.50 through 2-4 getting significantly harder to beat, ala low stakes NL in the last little while.


And while I'm on the topic, there is some seriously demented advice in Rolf's book.

Sammy Farha's book should be +EV for the game.

Even better would be if they did High Stakes Poker and went between PLO and NLHE, or someone figured out someway to convey why high stakes players like PLO cash games.

Yeah, Farhar should get some more people in the game which would be good.

This may come as a surprise to some, but most high-stakes pros are degenerate gamblers, = LETS PLAY PLO
