Re: What\'s the point of PL?
[ QUOTE ]
Obvious answers aside, why would a good player want that? I've seen the better players make huge overbets in NL (which are sometimes called) that they wouldn't be able to make in PL.

It's really (actually, this is a complete guess, but it makes sense, so hear this out) all about preflop play. In NL you can manipulate preflop action to the point where less flops are taken and therefore the greater edge of a better player is less effective. (fewer flops = less of a chance for a better player to make a better move)
In PL the max open allows players to take more flops and thereby "bust" other players on the flop and beyond.
really, I have no idea, I play NL and PL very similarly. I'm not too keen on big overbets.
