A PLO "boom" would only happen if there was a large poker boom across the board which would only really happen if there was a large influx of players from China, India, and Indonesia and/or the reintroduction of USA residents being allowed to play with ROW players.
WCG saw little value in continuing to be a HUNL specialist in the current state of games so released a HUNL training course to maximize the value of his HUNL knowledge.
Jnandez ___________ so released a PLO training course to maximize the value of his PLO knowledge.
Btw huge difference between where each of them were in the power rankings for their selected game types.
I'm sure JNandez is a winning player but I can't seem to find any stats on him that shows he's at the level of a Doug and in fact when watching his videos he just folds everything that's not super super super nutted.
I haven't payed online in a long time and frankly prefer live since its much softer but are these things the way to play PLO in 2017 or just a super super super nitty way of playing PLO?
OPR has Nandez winning about 35k from PLO MTTs and ~850k in NLHE. Don't get me wrong, that's still a great amount of money won but it doesn't sound like he's won a lot in PLO, or at least how much their advertising claims he has won.
I fully agree with your assessment though. The games are somewhat dead so it makes sense to just make as much money of a training site as possible before that dies as well.
On a side note, you're KingOfThe$ea right? If you are, when you shoved over Nandez bet in the PLO Scoop (think it was 2k?) with AAxx on the turn when he had trip jacks and got there on the river with the nut flush was awesome btw.
