I've decided to start off on the 40 bb short-stacked PLO tables on Full Tilt and so far it's working out pretty well.
The beauty of these tables are that with a single 3-bet and call you're all in on the flop and so difficult decisions on later streets are taken out of the equation.
This makes hands like AAxx and KKxx far easier to play than when you're sitting there with 180 bb's and facing a big decision.
As I get more confidence in my PLO game I'll move to 100 BB tables where position is the most important thing in the world, but being able to calculate your outs/odds quickly is a close second. It should be obvious what types of hands to play in PLO ... very coordinated and suited hands plus your hands like AA67, etc.
QQxx and JJxx are almost worthless. AKxx isn't far behind.
Yesterday I won 5 buy-ins and this morning I lost 3.5 - I've been told this is very standard.

Keep it up! I've never played much PLO, and I think I'll probably just skip it and move straight to the next big thing - wonder what it is, I kind of hope for Badugi :)

I wish I jumped into PLO about a year or two ago when the 1-2 and 2-4 games were still soft.
Not that they aren't beatable for me but it takes a lot of note taking and concentration these days when you used to be able to just nut peddle across 10 tables.
