Re: Should I start out playing limit, then move to PL?
If you're an experienced PLO high player, then I think you could jump into a PLO/8 game okay. For a Hold'em player, especially coming from limit Hold'em I'd recommend learning how to grind out a small profit at the low-limit O8 tables before you consider playing pot-limit O8. You'll need to get used to the split-pot nature of the game and start developing your hand reading skills. Any habits that you learn from limit O8 that may hurt your pot-limit game are able to be unlearned when you transition. For example, I think it's easier to learn to play very tight pre-flop from limit play and then loosen up as you switch to pot-limit. Also, once you go from limit to pot-limit, your experience from PLO/8 will improve your limit game a lot if you ever decide to play limit again.
