What a great format, where good PLO player can have massive edge. And are great fun to play with great many opportunities at every street.

How big player pool is for this game at Stars 30$? Any tips to this format?

Would recommend those to any action junkies like me.

I dont know much about them tbh, what makes you think a great PLO player will have a massive edge? i thought it would be insane variance in those games?

variance would be exactly the same as holdem given the same chip ev (though chip deviation/hand may be different)

if you can assign yourself a certain winrate then you can think of the game as the same as just flipping a coin with a certain winrate and payouts

Bigger edge for sure than NL. Like twice that.

There is big variance in PLO if you inflate pots and play only PF / flop game. Then small edge and game is lottery.

If you have twice the edge in your PLO Spins shouldn't your expectation be significantly higher than in NL? Shouldn't your downswings often mean "winning less" rather than losing over decent samples (say, 60 hrs of games)?
