Hello all,
This is my first time posting here so please go easy on me. I have been playing nlh since 2013 on and off. Since last year I’ve been playing tournaments and SNG online and free rolls at my local cardroom. I’ve read many of the essential books on nhl like super system, theory of poker and Harrington on Holdem. These books have helped my game tremendously. But I want to learn more about plo. I’ve only played a handful of plo tournaments and have done poorly ( not finishing in the money) . I understand the main point of plo is to make flushes and straights but I was just wondering if there where any good books I could find on a solid strategy or must read for plo. Any input is appreciated. Thank you!

straights are often not good enough to win in PLO. If there's a 3 of the same suit out there someone most likely has a flush which beats a straight. If the board pairs also it can make a flush worthless.

If your playing live there's going to be a lot of muti-way action since noone folds in PLO and your going to need the nut draws plus the nut made hands to win a pot.

Thank you. The only thing I’ve read about plo (Pot limit Omaha high in the book) was in super system 2 and it wasn’t very strategy heavy.
