I've been away from PLO for a while playing NLHE tournaments but I'm considering getting back to PLO since these tournaments are boring me half to death already. I have the option of playing at Svenska Spel (Swedish client) but from what I can tell the action is pretty scarce. However I've read that their rake is way way lower than any other site. Any advice?
Play at Svenska Spel ainec, it's reportedly so soft that the $500 will be enough to play in SEK 0.5/1 ($0.075/0.15) PLO games.

I was just curious to ask one question..
I noticed that, logically, due to higher VPIP and more complex games we can multitable less playing PLO. Is there any theory how less? if someone can play 24 tables 6max NLHE, how much he could get as a decent PLO player? I mean due to VPP per hand is it worth to play more than 6-10 tbls?
sorry if this is already answered (probably did) but this is beginner question thread, so I hope to get an answer.
cheers!
It's not about earning more VPP/hour. First determine how many tables and hours a month you're going to play and how much you're going to rake approximately, then set a precise VPP goal closest to your estimate that allows to jump to a corresponding VIP program level (e.g. hit a stellar reward). The winrate is a primary consideration, cashback is secondary.
When Stars made changes to time to act recently, there was a lot of angry feedback from PLO regs, to which Pokerstars Steve responded that the site has already seen PLO players adjust by playing fewer tables and is totally fine with it
I'm not a guru in that as I've never played NLHE at a competent level but I'd say that 24 NLHE tables correspond to at most 18 PLO ones as the latter game is more complex. On the other hand, I'm constantly facing a PLO50 reg playing decently at the maximum 16 tables allowed on iPoker, so this estimate is not way off.
