Have you thought of maybe just watching a game or two? If you look in whilst a £3 -£10 game is running, you'll get an understanding of starting hand selection and how that range widens as the blinds increase, unless you happen to pick a table with a couple of loons on it, in which case you'll be scratching your head.
As a novice to the game, starting hand selection is key imo. A good hand played badly can still reap rewards, a bad hand played badly usually gets what it deserves. There'll be lots online with a starting hand rank listing.
Nobody here wants you or anyone else to start playing this so we can take your money. We want the player base to increase and we want everyone who plays it to enjoy it and to be at minimum, competent as to what they're doing. So, fire away with questions. Technically, regarding rules etc, you'll get an answer asap. Regarding strategy, you'll get ten opinions to one question, so best to cherry pick what makes sense and which suits your style.
PLO8 is still poker, people still bluff of course, but I wouldn't recommend it until you really know what you're doing.

Yes, giggling like a girlie no doubt. But if it stops you talking for at least a minute or two, some good has come of it.
You were trying last night, with a description of every morsel - & mussel - you ate, ditto your poor Husband, followed by hours of discussion as to electric blankets & Star Wars shaped duvet covers.
It's completely out of order, & I instruct you to cease & desist this chatbox chatter, twaddle & harassment.

Some very opportunistic hands played by people that game!

Welcome to the 60p tables.
I thank you for taking out all and sundry whilst making soup and reworking a sleeping bag into god knows what, whilst I folded like a cheap tent every hand, to take a glorious win.

Brill. Just let us know when you've finished all 25.
Starting next week, I'm gonna do 25 games at each buy-in level. So, x25 60p one day, x25 £1 next day etc.
the competition is over for me, final result 18/25, a respectable 72%
A profit of £6.05 from a total stake of £25.95, giving an ROI of 23.31%
I don't think it will be enough to win, but I had a blast. Good luck to all those left in.

I genuinely think Sky are missing out by not doing this with the DYMs too. Obviously keep the real PLO8, but I'd wager NLO8 DYMs would be popular too. I'd play them on occasion, as I have a feeling they'd be hilarious and proper shove-fests. Given the right seated players, it'd be hard to imagine a game getting past level 2.

Very well done Craig, that'll be very unlucky not to win. Awesome effort, either way.
