Looks like a bunch of NLHE player getting it all-in preflop.
@Anthony Martino Is this the way most PLO games play in the casino? I always thought PLO was a post flop game
It depends on the structure of the game and the size of the players stacks.
In the Monday PLO game I play at Tampa Greyhound Track, it's 1/2 blinds but a mandatory button straddle to $5 and UNLIMITED restraddles.
Buyins are $200-1K and a number of players are keen to buyin for $200-400 and then try and play bingo preflop. While it's not EVERY hand, there are many hands that will be restraddled to $10, 20, 40, 80 and sometimes even higher (I've heard about restraddles to $320 but haven't seen that yet, I have seen $160 one time).
So what I saw in that video at the 21 minute mark definitely echoed what I see in this particular game on Mondays.
Now the 1/2 PLO at the Tampa Hard Rock is $100-500 buyins and an optional $5 straddle with no additional restraddles. So it's unusual to see that level of craziness. Same with the 2/5 PLO with a $10 rock, which is a forced straddle paid by the winner of the previous hand, with no additional restraddles.
That being said, you get the right combination of players at a table and you will see full stacks or higher get in preflop very quickly. Some people are just addicted to the gamble, or they have more money and would play higher if there were higher games, so they try to bully everyone and raise the stakes by constantly raising because it makes some players uncomfortable to try and keep up with bets of that nature every hand.
And since hand equities run so close preflop, that's why I generally have ZERO raising range preflop unless I can get my entire stack in with a premium holding or create an SPR going to the flop that the rest of my chips are going in regardless. Otherwise I want to see flops and decide from there if I'll continue, since I'm generally pretty deep-stacked.
