5-card PLO8 is spread online at Entraction. Tables are 6 or 8-handed.

This game is probably more interesting than 5-card PLO or regular PLO8. What are your thoughts on approaching this??
I think low hands with suited potential skyrocket in value, and the concept of position really becomes paramount.

wow kind of cool. yah draws preflop would go way up in value, do you have to discard one of the cards? like, say pineapple?

You keep 5 cards and play 2 just like regular PLO8. You get more action generally, but I think you want to try and thin the field so your hand hits high(with low draw, say) against fewer people. I mean there are standard nut flops, and nut draw flops, but 2-pair + low draw is what I think should be acceptable against 1 or 2 players...

it should mostly play the same but let you lean more to seeing flops, with 5 card almost nothing is anywhere close to the nuts preflop so just see lots of cheap flops with draws and rape face
