same for 5/10 if possible, as this group of players rotate the stakes, they are pretty weak I hear.
I play a lot of PLO online but I havn't learned oh8 yet, wondering if its even
worth it.
rake is $3 on flop capped at 4$
I see nobody has answered you - they're all busy playing NLHE.
My data so far. I started tracking again at the beginning of October. Two sessions at The Orleans, the remainder (so far) at Winstar. Orleans is 4/8 hk on 60 scoop, Winstar is 4/8 hk on 40 scoop.
sessions: 14
total won: $1174
hours: 53.95
winnings per hr: $21.76
per session: $83.86
winning sessions: 10
You can do some straight math to get a rough approximation of how 3/6 k should go, based on how the numbers pan out between 1/2 and 2/5 ITT.
Caveats: I have been playing O8 for years now, both live and online. I wasn't tracking for a long time due to lack of app availability/knowledge. (I am a proud Palm Pre owner.) However, I can say that on my previous trip to Orleans that was untracked, I had a healthy $20/30 hr profit, and most of my Winstar sessions were similar.
While O8 is reputed to be the lowest variance game, you will still have sessions where you just can't hit anything, and depending on the game and the players, you will still get a damn beatdown that will make you want to punch a wall. Flopping the nut nut draw and leading only to have the board pair on the river and someone leading into you from out of position... it's frustrating, especially if the jerk started with two pair.
If you do well in PLO, you understand the basics of how draws work in Omaha and the hand values that will win. Then you need to understand how the low works and understand pre-flop hand selection. Ray Zee's book may help you get a feel for that, though I actually feel like I play looser than he suggests, and I am usually the tightest or second tightest player at the table.
Is it worth it? I say yes, but I don't know how much money you're making elsewhere (if any), and I am a simple Denton boy with relatively simple needs.
Feel free to PM me with more questions. And if you're good, stay away from Oklahoma.

Reason: argh, why would 3/6 be half kill?
