micro or SS PLO

Posted 7 years ago

Hey gang, I haven't been here in a while. I hope y'all are crushing it VIP style.

I'm going to be in Spain for a month on vacation, and I want a break from the stress of the midstakes NLHE grind. I think I'll use the time to learn PLO, at micro stakes so I won't stress the money. Does anyone know a decent site for micro/SS PLO? Pokerstars is fenced (meaning I'd need to open a separate .es account, verify, all that hassle for like a $50 deposit). So if anyone knows where there is even moderate traffic for PLO on a Euro site, let me know.

May the odds be ever in your favour.

Hey bud, enjoy the tapas and hot girls.

I think you may need to use two clients to get enough tables as PLO isn't all that busy (could be wrong?). I'd check into 888 and iPoker, but have a feeling it may be more hassle than it's worth.

i might look into 2 sites simultaneously but I don't think I'll ever want more than 4 tables at a time anyway. I want to think about spots and learn the game, that's way more important to me than sheer volume. My local B&M spreads 1/2/5 PLO, but it's uncapped. The play is horribad, but stacks are mostly over 1K. Preflop it's not uncommon to see a couple hundred in the middle, so the swings are vicious. But if I lock down on quick equity calculations then I can take some shots with more confidence.

At various points I've prob had an acct with every site out there, but none of the software is on my comp anymore. Might have to d/l all of em and see.

Not sure if this is a common occurrence but the PLO games on Natural 8 are populated with gamblers, not players.

High average pots, >75% pots, consistent traffic. H/H is generally 60+ for full-table 6-max games. Since it's a relatively new site, it also attracting all those in Asian countries who want to play and have mostly been unable to play prior. I would definitely recommend having a look there.

TY Feld, I've never even heard of it but will check it out.

MPN has most traffic after Stars I think and the rake for SS PLO is a lot better than at Ipoker. Outside peak hours the tables are mostly filled with regs but at micros most of them have huge leaks in their game too. Playing multiple stakes gives enough traffic on most times.
