Default Re: WSOP PLO last night on ESPN

I don't think the best telecast could ever convert or "bring over" Hold'Em addicts. They have to discover the game on their own.

The game's simplicity in comparison to Hold 'Em is outweighed by the complexity of draws and odds that Hold 'Em simply does not have due to 2 cards vs 4 cards. Even the players at the table in the telecast looked a tad unsure at times. Its not as simple to quickly identify draws and outs when you have to consider the 6 card combination of 4 hole card.

I've got the nuts now, but wait, this card or that card or a diamond could come now that I look at the hole cards and I'm dead..
