Default Re: Why the higher stakes players play limit O/8?

quoting Steve Badger:

[ QUOTE ]

One reason PLO8 isn't played much in casinos is because skill wins. Bad play and bad players are annihilated, and fast too. PLO8 games peopled only with good players are hideously bad. The game becomes pointless and tedious. It comes down to exploiting extremely rare flukes (like top full house losing to quads).

Exactly.

Thats the same reason why NL holdem died for many years. Bad players were just getting killed way too fast because their bad play was fully exploited as it was NL. Its comeback now because of the poker boom, but still there are usually a lot more limit tables than NL tables.
