Almost no edge when equities run that close.

And how many tables can you play when their traffic is so low? Anything less than four tables puts me to sleep.

Tghhh

Just to finish my negative rant (not personal): In sweden, we get NO Rakeback. NO Bonuses and NO freerolls or Tickets to Freerolls.

The sites are prohibited from giving ANYTHING back to the players by our Big Brother Government.

So I'm not competing on equal terms - especially not if the rake is high.

And you will pay A LOT of rake in PLO5 and PLO6. Even a normal PLO is a rake trap at lower stakes.

In germany we got nearly the same disadvantages.
Therefore I only play tournaments.

It's not even close to being a popular format yet, but I can see it being one as it is quite fun to play, which pulls in very bad players. Agree about edge. I wouldn't want to play it against competent players, much like I wouldn't want to play NLHE against competent players. The idea is really to play any hand to see the flop, for a price acceptable to you, and then to punish players who don't understand the game at all.

These are my favorite poker variants, so I play them whenever I have the time. However, you have to be cautious about colluders, as 888 isn’t very effective at detecting them. Colluders have massive advantage when playing plo5 and plo6.

The 888 rakeback promo feels like a scam. I got the same $1 rakeback for hitting 50%, even after playing multiple hours at $50 stakes. There’s no way the rake was only $2.

I played my first ever game of PLO5 on 888 yesterday and did ok.
I usually play PLO cash games and have for years and I find PLO5 a bit
confusing but am going to persevere and see how I go.

Not yet but I'll get into it, it's nice they add more formats

PLO8, 5 card PLO8 and Courchehevel8 are so much fun

maybe I'll try this discipline a couple of times, but so far it all looks more like luck... I like the usual pot limit omaha a little more than the five and six card one so far))
