Once again I am going to depart from the title of this column and not focus on no-limit hold’em. Instead, I am going to use this week’s piece to talk about my experience playing Event #49: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split (8 or Better) at the 2015 World Series of Poker. It did not go well.
The tournament attracted 815 runners and created a prize pool of $1,100,250. I’m by no means a PLO8 expert — far from it in fact. I’ve got a lot of PLO experience, and have played my fair share of limit Omaha hi-low, but the hybrid version was relatively new to me.
