Agreed. Took my first shot at 1-2 PLO at the Aria this past week, and I was underwhelmed with the play. I was playing pretty snug, but I could see that the game was a potential gold mine.
I lost a little over a buy-in, most of which was due to two big pots: I got a shortish stack in pre against
@Payback with AJJT one suit vs his AAxx and he held, then I caught the bad side of variance when I lost a $500-ish pot with AAJ6 double suited vs AJ77 single suited where nearly half went in pre.
(Yeah, we did the math and that last hand I was about 75-25 pre, nearly unheard of in Omaha.)
