Proposed PLO FAQ

[BluffTHIS!]

I would like to propose a brief FAQ for the PLO category that we could ask the moderator to sticky post at top. If we can come up with a consensus FAQ perhaps he would.

PLO FAQ

1) What books are available to learn about PLO?

a) Omaha Holdem Poker by Bob Ciaffone (currently out of print but some copies available thourgh Gamblers Book Club online);

b) Pot-Limit and No-Limit Poker by Bob Ciaffone and Stewart Reuben;

c) Super System 2 by Doyle Brunson et. al.- chapter on PLO by Lyle Berman;

d) The Science of Poker by Dr. Mahmoud M. Mahmoud;

e) How Good Is Your Pot Limit Omaha? by Stewart Reuben;

f) Play Poker Like The Pro by Phil Hellmuth.

If you search the forum for posts about these specific books you will likely find opinions about how good each of them is.


2) Is this the right forum for questions about limit omaha high or limit omaha high/low?

No. Questions about hi/lo should be posted in the separate forum category for that game, and questions about limit omaha high should be posted in Other Games.
