Hello,

I have recently gotten into playing PLO and have been hooked. I am looking for either some books or courses for both PLO and 5-card PLO.

Anyone have good recommendation for some cheap options?

Thanks.

Go watch @Anthony Martino's videos to see how not to play

I’m currently working through Upswing Poker’s PLO Launchpad course. I’m finding it quite good so far.

Jeff Hwang: Pot Limit Omaha Poker
Best overall introduction book of all those I’ve read.

Good luck and welcome to the show! So many great games have an Omaha foundation.

My recommendation as well if playing full-ring live

If playing 6-max online look at Jnandez's material

Hwang’s book just to get the basics down. Then definitely invest in a silver to get your pre-flop range where it needs to be. I’ve used Mastermind and Vision, but prefer Vision. I also signed up for the RIO elite subscription for a month or two, that helped me loosen up a bit and understand some 3-bet principles better; it was reassuring having a pro give his reasoning.

After that, play some micro-stakes just to get comfortable, learn the player pool and see how that changes as you move up in stakes. .05/.10 on ClubWPT is way different than .25/.50 on CoinPoker ( blocker bluffs don’t get through as often in the smaller games IME).

Also, check out the Triton cash games on YouTube, just to see how quickly pots can build and what people are willing to get it in with and why. I hope This helps, and good luck!

Thank you all for the guidance!

I recommend all of these in addition to Hwang's book. Especially, Bob Ciaffone's Omaha Poker book is a must read. These get more into Hi-Lo and some stud as well as limit play, but the fundamentals, concepts and thought processes are invaluable. I pulled these out recently to lend to a friend and he is coming along quite nicely with his Omaha game.

I love PLO8! Gotta be one of the best games ever!

Since the pic covers up some of the covers...authors are Mike Cappelletti, Ken Warren, Bob Ciaffone, and Ray Zee.

Check out The Big play strategy its a solid one for learning the basics

If you are willing to play online, WPT gold .05/.10/.20 (PLO 4 card) is a great place to start. Pretty good action and somehow still legal to play on. As you go up in stakes from there, it starts to get pretty nitty/aggro, so not really reflective of how people play live.

Not strategy related, but IMO Mr. Adler gave a vital piece of advice that applies very much to PLO as well.

I wouldn't say its good practice, but .01/.02 PLO on WPT gold is pretty funny. People will really play anything. Tons of hands go limp limp limp pot, repot, everyone calls.

Galfond, KakiTee, Jnandez have free videos. Also rewatching Blez in wsop/pokergo-events is a goldmine for great plo-play.
