I played 1/2 PLO8 today today and it was pretty good. A few of the players at the table liked to straddle and the whole table basically agreed to straddle for 1 round. I was UTG the first hand of the straddle and someone in EP had raised to $10, got a bunch of calls, and the pot ended up being $80 going to the flop. I was a little miffed though because the guy to my immediate right did not straddle after the rest of the table did, and didn't object when the rest of the players agreed to straddle for 1 round in the first place. The dealer said that FW cannot enforce the straddle, blech.
Overall though a good game. It was pretty loose, quite a bit of preflop raising but a lot of limped pots as well. A lot of people were interested in seeing flops and there ended up being some really big pots. I played very tight (so yes, anyone who was in the game that might be viewing this, I was the nitbag in seat 6). My nut peddling strategy worked out quite alright for me though as I ended my 4 hour session +$43.
Fun game, hope to see enough people interested the next time I go so it's spread again.
