this.
Playing some games NL would actually take away from the interesting play.

on the draw, not to mention on the river getting 8 to 1.

That's absurd.
The barrier to PLO is not the lack of action (there's tons of action already), but the fact that there are too many hole cards for the view to track. In fact, more than twice, since more players will see a flop.
Similarly, stud games are also tough to watch.
And hi/lo? Did you see those graphics on the last HORSE coverage? Hideous.
In any case, pot-limit creates
more action, and more interest pots. In fact, I think televised hold'em tournaments would be way more interesting if they were pot limit.
As for NL Omaha, too often it would be fold or flip, and that's not interesting, especially in a cash game, where someone's survival is not on the line.

Hmmm... they
definitely spread PLO. I don't see why they would spread NLO, unless it's for a 1/1 or 1/2 table for the newbs and they want to speed the game up.
