Not trying to come after you or whatever but that doesn't really seem like **** for understanding what the variance animal can really be like with PLO, esp live where there are (I assume) many more multiway pots.
NLHE tables under 5/10 arent that bad either "fun" wise. 5/10+ tho I generally agree.
I'd estimate in the 200k range since maybe 1/3rd of those hours are short handed.
Paying 3 dollars a half hour in reduced time charge with 3 super passive bad plo players in a 4 handed game is an awesome experience.
NL players will also never be able to play that many hands live either so there will also be a sample size issue for them.
I agree plo variance is super high.So are win rates.
The high variance in plo makes even regs/decent players play unbelievably atrociously at times in ways I never saw from similar nl players. And It sends bad players straight off the deep end.
5/10 nl+ is a special kind of torture from an entertainment standpoint but most lower stakes games look utterly miserable as well.
I'm not saying there aren't times a game doesn't devolve to bingo -but most plo games aren't like that.
