I play with a lot of players not terribly experienced at PLO, and the nature of the game makes it so they will just lose their money too fast if they don't learn a little bit.

It's gotten a bit rough lately, as once we get to two tables, one game inevitably moves to holdem only and all of the bad players move over there, leaving just the players who came to play PLO (we play a round of each game). It is much healthier for the game if the players in it aren't complete suckers and at least have some idea on what is good and what isn't.

I've noticed in my local game that playing a round of each tends to tighten up the hold em rounds as everyone just wants to get back to the action game.

My game is a bit unusual, it's a very small card room that typically will have 1 game going per night, so people who are regulars just show up, and will hop in the game that's being played. There are others who will specifically show up to this night. They do run a 1/1 PLO night to try to get some of the players who are hold'em only (or "poker" as they call it, as in "I don't like PLO, I prefer to play poker" as if NLH is the only form of poker) to get used to the game, or those without bigger bankrolls for playing. So the Hold'em rounds end up being when the regs are more comfortable, although it's typically loose passive limp-fests or maybe one raise and a million calls, and 3-bets mean AA/KK (or sometimes they just flat call AA/KK). But when the room gets busy enough and there's enough to make a second table, they'll make that table 1/2 NLH, and you end up with all the regs moving to that game and the RoE game switches to PLO only if everyone agrees (which happens a lot).
