From what I remember, I did read Bobby Baldwin's O8 chapter in Super System 2 waaaaay back in the day as well as some of Dan Dreppens "Pot Limit Omaha 8 revealed" and I've had decent success at low limits and playing full ring, but I feel like I'm getting lost in way too many non-ABC spots and basically have no clue on how to play and win at 6-max unless a massive drooler is on the table.

Do you have any advice on what to read or which site to join to get better at playing PLO8 and NLO8 in particular?

A lol reg (just my opinion obviously, but his results haven't proven me wrong so far) wrote something about GTO push or fold charts for NLO8, but I've never seen any of those so far.

Do you have any advice on how to get better at this game? Any help is appreciated.

Great advice, thanks.

As for "Scoop!", I wanted to buy the book, but then I read a post of the author on this very forum in which he stated that it wasn't meant for Online play.

Well it's not only the forum, but also there isn't much to say to your question. Get the scoop! books and you'll probably learn a thing or two.

Just for clarification, I'm winning at low stakes PLO8 up to 100 Dollar buy-ins, mostly full ring, so I'm not totally clueless. I do however suck at 6-max and NLO8 specifically, mostly due to calling off too lightly in some spots and tilting quite a bit. What I'm looking for is some decent cash game videos à la Cardrunners and maybe even some charts that the "lol reg" in my op referred to, and I'm having trouble finding any of those.

As for the "Scoop!" books, as I said before, I meant to buy them until I read a thread on this very forum in which the author admitted that they were not meant for online players.

Fun fact: You were actually super harsh on them, so I'm having trouble understanding why you would recommend them all off a sudden.

Not sure if I was super harsh on "them", as I incidentally learned only a couple of days ago that there are several volumes. My wording on the quote is indeed a bit strange, first "books" but later "it". I can only say that English is not my native language.

Got a copy of parts two and three from a friend. Of course the writer seems narcissistic and spends a lot of pages boasting on what an excellent player he is, but that doesn't mean you can't learn something reading the books. True, they are not for online play specifically, but many online games seem almost as soft as live these days.

You keep repeating that you are not clueless, but the fact that you find 6-max kind of hard it sounds like your plo8 doesn't go much beyond nut peddling. I did not know 9-max games are still available somewhere btw. I can't recommend any videos for you, sorry.
