ive been playing almost exclusively omaha for several months, last night i opened a few tables of NL for fun. i assumed i would completely suck but surprisingly i felt really good, actually i feel like im plying the game better than ever before

im not a great poker play, when i transitioned to PLO from NL i was barely winning 5 dollars a session at 2/5c and 5/10c. when I quit NL i felt frustrated with the game and outclassed by people who just understood the game better. for whatever reason PLO has helped me understand NL, NL feels like PLO cut in half

has anyone else had this experience?

Yeah, it happens quite often actually. I've found that after a long period of PLO my head is clearer whilst playing NLHE tournaments. Also my asthma cleared up, I can now bench 30% more weight and I've grown 3 inches.

My first game was LHE, had trouble adjusting to NLH. PLO helped when it comes to big bet poker. But technically, it was the opposite for me, as NLH is a solved game and PLO isn't (today).

PLO definitely trains you to to think more about your opponents ranges, range advantage, your own range, etc. Instead of connecting 2/4 cards you just start with 2

Since I started playing PLO it's completely changed my life. I've gotten with like so many girls when before my mom wouldn't even text me back. I upgraded the 95 accord to a brand new jag. Had an apartment but now I'm im your head. Friends used to think I was boring but now they jerk me under the table. Used to not be able to stand up to my cousin who's only 13 but my height, I just killed him.
