Only my 2nd PLO MTT on Full Tilt, but I always seem to be amazed.

i don't have experience in these tourneys or know the structure but I like it. I ran the numbers and you were about 48% to win preflop. At these early stages and only 100bb deep, I like getting it in if you can because you would be up against some terrible players where you will have some nice equity. you don't have too much time to wait around for them to make mistakes when you have a good hand postflop.

if it was deeper, I would try to play postflop rather than gamble if you feel you have an edge.

this coming from a plo mtt beginner.

So I played the $4K PLO again on Full Tilt tonight, for only the 2nd time. They showed much more discipline this time as they waited until the 8th hand until the entire table decided to get it in preflop. I figured what the hell, I'm up for a little 5-way preflop shove action.
