In Response to Re: RLT16 vs stuarty117 (and multiple others) in a DYMathon challange : ah you'll have to stop playing those soft plo games and get playing some proper poker or if tikay hurries up and gets back form vegas to lower ur win rate that would be good to Posted by RLT16
Ah that old chestnut again.
Well interesting topic to be honest as the question is are PLO8 dyms softer than holdem dyms?
Stu and myself were discussing this briefly the other day. I think it all depends who is at the table really. You will get some players that are not familiar with PLO8 however you could argue by watching some players play holdem you have the same there! lol But yes its probably more common to see it in PLO8. However I would add that even if you havent a clue of your hand ranks in PLO8 you always stand a better chance of winning a pot than you would with a bad hand in Holdem.
There are of course many PLO8 regulars that play dyms no different than holdem.
One could also argue that £3 holdem dyms are soft as all the best holdem players are playing higher stakes....thats another debate!
I think one thing that would be interesting to check is Tikays % win ratio in PLO8 dyms considering he often cashes in Omaha WSOP events. You might not call them soft then .
But on a serious note I think it is a good question and I think there is a belief that they are softer as Ive heard it said many times by different people. I dont know the answer! but I do know its a **** of an exciting game to play, I played Holdem well before PLO8 but I dont find Holdem exciting anymore.
BBmike has had good success in both be interesting to hear his thoughts?

and i aint stopping with snuffer, im coming for all of you!
another session over and the challange table has been updated, still slightly ahead of my target win ratio so i continue to be happy with my results, but id like spinky to slow down a little.
Hosting my monthly home game tomorow so i wont be on, that will give you guys a chance to catch up GL all
Still running well W6 L1 yesterday. Total W14 L3. Stuarty i won't challenge you to golf 78 i could only dream about! I've actually scored 78 once my best ever.
Quick session didn't go to plan, 3/6 lost on the bubble JJ vs A9, AQ vs Q8 and AK vs JJ, these should even out over 1000 games, right?! Should get a grind in tonight.
You know when you play a session and you just want the last one to go your way. One player has bust, one is away, one has a load of chips and the others are similar to you. AQs, shove, vs big stack AJ,.. AQK.. x.... ... ... yep. Still, play more and that result becomes less significant. But it will have to be tomorrow, was making some poor decisions after the 3rd glass of wine.
17/26 for the session, 20/32 for the day, 32/49 for the comp.
Need more grinds like these, more focus, and provides one of the best feelings in poker, the one where you're looking at other tables and a message pops up somewhere else telling you you've cashed
