So why do no PLO players exploit this?

Part of this has to be the relative frequency with which this situation occurs. In LHE or NLHE, it isn't that odd to be an 80% or greater favorite on the flop and greater than 90% on the turn, even in multiway pots.

This just isn't the case very frequently in PLO. When it is and you are sitting on the nut overfull, you just aren't getting action from straghts and flushes (or straight and flush draws) like you would in HE. Sure, someone may stack themselves with an underfull, etc and in those cases you are exploiting the large equity advantage. The maniacs that do give action drawing dead tend to go broke pretty quickly.

Where does this live slowplaying mentality come from? Is the inherent risk offset by the ability to gain more information through better reads?
