Re: Tournament Question for PLO
[ QUOTE ]
Since pots can get big very fast in PLO.....I imagine the casualty rates for tournaments is outrageous. Is this premise correct?
If so, do they start with VERY low blinds so that the tourney doesn't end the first hour?

The blinds are the same as for holdem. In this tournament more than 3/4 of the field was eliminated in the first hour, partly due to Paradise's fast structure.
There are some big hands where 2 people have big pairs or double suited rundowns preflop, or top set versus strong draw on the flop. However, there are a lot of loose fish limping and calling too much, which contributes to big pots.
Notice here we are close to the bubble, but we have fairly small blinds and deep money.
