279BB deep 10/25 hand

Just for my reference, would you say this is the laydown spot for the second nut flush in holdem too?

It hurts my head trying to adjust. After playing one evening of short-handed PLO I would estimate I've given up a ****load of edge, but thankfully so have my opponents, I think.

There appears to be plenty of room for me to learn. Where's the best place to find good short-handed games (I don't mind losing money at them as long as I'm learning something)? My bankroll is big, but I also don't mind starting at penny stakes if you guys think that's best for learning.

Well the key difference between holdem and plo is that the situations where there is 1st nut flush or full versus the 2nd nut occurs way more often. And the drawing hands run bigger and some big draws are actually favorites over sets. And even though shorthanded you don't expect nearly as often to run into these situations, they do occur and you just have to be prepared both to lay down the 2nd nuts and also not to try to push bluffs too far against determined calling stations. And as far as where to play, you can often just sit at a table if you want headsup or 3 way action. But until you do adjust and learn more it would be prudent to do so at lower limits although more of the players willing to play shorthanded plo play high.

Besides the posts here, there is a ton in the archives, and you should also read the basic plo texts often mentioned here, namely Ciaffone and Ciaffone/Reuben.
