I just lost a monster pot in PLO and I figure this is probably as good a time as ever to ask.

How much do I need to play at a certain level in pot limit omaha? Note that I'm saying pot limit omaha, not pot limit omaha/8.

15-25 times the max buy in for your limit?

I'm the one asking you! smile.gif

So about $5k would do for $200PLO?

I"m pretty certain that would suffice for a bankroll

All I can say is $200 is not enough for .50/.50 PLO :roll: Also not the best limit to learn, but oh well.

Now I'm playing $25 PL .10/.25 blinds with a $500 roll, and feel much better, but still a little light.

I dropped about 500 or 600 today at $100PLO and was sweating my bankroll. No big deal, though.

I'm not sure at what level that it becomes a difficult game to win at, honestly. I've played as high as $200PLO and have never seen any fantastic players. The naturally aggressive types tend to overexpose themselves and get beat down by some fish with two pair.

What?

If you lose more than 5 buy ins in a row in PLO at any limit under $500, something's SERIOUSLY wrong.

There's just not that much variance in PLO against bad players.

Good luck.

I must've offended the poker gods, because I haven't been able to beat the bad players recently. At the .10/.25 blinds, I lost 3.35 to the blinds before I got cards good enough to see a flop yesterday. Day before, I had nut or second nut flushes 17 times and never flopped a draw (even with dbl suited Aces a couple of times.) I'm getting ready to sacrifice a deck of cards right now.
