I've recently been invited to a $2/5 blind pot limit dealer's choice game. Each player chooses a game and we play a whole round of it. Most players call Holdem or Omaha/8, but I'm told there's one guy who always calls Crazy Pineapple, another calls Omaha Hi and another Stud/8. I've played all of these games in a limit format, but have only played PL Holdem and a little bit of PL Omaha/8. Most players buy in for $200 or $300 and rebuy as needed.
I would appreciate any general advice you all might have, but I do have a couple of specific questions: Are there any specific things that I should be wary of in PL Crazy Pineapple or PL Stud/8? Are there any Internet sites or books with pot limit info on these other games? In PL Omaha/8, with a hand like A24x or A2xx with a suited ace, how aggressively should this be played preflop? What if the flop brings the nut low draw and some kind of high draw like a runner runner flush or gutshot straight? As far as the buy in goes, I'd really like to buy in for $600 or $700, but this might be a faux pas with everyone else buying in for only $200 or $300. Any ideas on how much to buy in for? Thanks for your help.
