Dealer\'s choice question
Hello,
I am going to play live 10$/10$ dealers choice game. The games are : PLO, PLO/8, PLHE, PLStud and PLStud/8. My regular game is 5/10NLHE 6max I play 1k and 2kPLO quite often too. I dont know a thing about stud (Ive read Ciaffone's potlimit & nolimit poker but never played it). Competition will be rather soft and all the players will have some experience in PLHE , less in PLO and PLO/8 and probably they wont know a thing abou stud and stud/8 like me. What's my best choice ? Which game give me the most advantage while on the button ? Best wishes |

Re: Dealer\'s choice question
Since position at the stud games is dependent on the upcards that are showing, you surrender the advantage of the button when you choose stud/stud8. PLO is very
positional and gives a big advantage to the button. This is even more the case with PLO8. So, choose either PLO or PLO8, and try to persuade the player on your right to choose a stud game... |

Re: Dealer\'s choice question
I think hold'em and PLO have the biggest positional advantage.
PLO/8 has less of a positonal advantage because so many hands will go to a showdown. Obviously, picking stud or stud/8 is a mistake unless you are much better than the competition at those games. |
