PLO8 General Thought

I agree completely.

I'm willing to lay down very big drawing hands when I have very little money in the pot because I know there will be situations during my session where I am way ahead.

You're essentially accepting a reduced win rate for the benefit of reduced variance. If that's the approach you're going to take, you should be playing at higher levels compared to your BR than are usually advertised, since the BR requirements are less stringent with a lower-variance approach. Otherwise, you're $ earn will be less.

Good point of course.

So far I have not been disappointed though laying down a nut low draw with a king high flush draw to turn action.

This is something I had trouble doing awhile ago...and basically why I spent the last 6 months playing limit.

A couple small adjustments in my game and now I feel very comfortable at the PLO8 tables.

My VPIP is 28% which I think is ok...but I am staying out of trouble when things look bad.
