I've never played anything much other than NLHE, do you think toying around with other variations would improve my skills any? PLO seems pretty popular.

Yep, I think playing other games does improve your skills.

You just have to be careful that you don't end up dabbling in all games and never really getting good at any of them (he said, casting a critical eye over his own, somewhat shambolic poker career).

PLO will teach you the importance of position. It will also give your mental game a solid check-up, too.

Limit holdem will have you value betting like a demon.

Good Luck.

Playing other games definitely helps you improve as a poker player.

Don't toy around with them though. Each variation has its own regs who mainly play that game, and they are looking to take your money.

PLO is imo a much more fun game to play than NL, but be careful what stakes you play - it plays very much bigger than NL at the same stakes.
