You are right that PLO is less solved, but so many situations play themselves. NLHE is more dynamic in the way that you can do a lot of weird **** with some weird ass hands. In PLO you just can't do weird **** ever or you get demolished, you either have the equity or you don't. You don't run pure bluffs, you don't bluff jam before the river, you don't do anything weird really. NLHE allows you to be crazy in a whole other way.
I agree that generally speaking PLO is a worse game to watch in comparison to NLHE, but there is still potential for really exciting games. One or two super aggro VIP's will make pros start 3/4betting pretty crazily and games can be ridiculous action. The Trickett private PLO games on PartyPoker with Leon, Matt Kirk etc are a great example of this.
In this kind of PLO game a lot of spots still play themselves, but to casual fans shoving over a pot size bet in a 4bet pot with middle pair and a gutter will look insane. I hope PokerGO tries another PLO game in the next couple months or so, but NL is a much better spectator game.
I'd really like to see the introduction of mixed games. 8game with no cap could be a lot of fun.
