You typed your reply before I finished mine but surely as Omaha H/L players we should be encouraging anyone with an interest in the game to come and play.
Many people read this guys pgc thread and if some of them see he is playing o8 then there is a good chance they may also give it a try. The more people that give o8 a try the better imo I really don't know why you would try and put him off the idea of playing this game
Hehe completely agree, and since I tend to blog about literally everything I do and am never on hide, word would get out that I was playing them
.
And on top of that, we'd all be (myself included) semi fish at em!

Hard to say if you would have any extra edge playing these over nlh ones as obv it depends on your skill level, but I would be amazed if the o8 ones weren't softer for a player who was equally skilled in both formats.
Yea I am in no way anywhere near a good O8 player but I would completely agree with your assessment that I could/would have a much higher ROI at a $100 nlo8 ht over a $100 nlhe ht if I got 'good' at them.
I have beaten 50plo zoom for like 12bb/100 over a small like 25k hand sample of messing around + have a few PLO mtt scores and def do prefer PLO over O8, but I feel I could quickly pick these games up if I put in any effort, as I'm obviously already quite comfortable WRT 6m ICM and different pressure points/play on different stack sizes in the HT format to where I think I could be ~0 ev roi from the getgo if I was only playing soft games.
The problem is the 08 games will take extra attention from me since its lol_4cardaments, so I probably wouldn't bother playing anything lower than a $200, maybe would add in some 100s once I got regs noted and could cherry pick the softest games.

No worries, maybe will cya around one of these days, although I've been tied to my condo trying to figure out how to win again lately
