It is a very complicated game. top pair or 1 pair is usually no good. 2 pair is sometimes ok to play but consider as if it was top pair with not that good of a kicker on NL holdem. Good hands are like 8 9 10 J double suited cuz u have 2 flush draws and if u hit 9 10 then u have 2 pair and a rap around str8 draw lik any 7 8 9 10 J Q u hit helps u not counting the flush draws if u hit 1. AA10J double suited or AAKK double suited are monsters. You gotta really no what u can hit and how big of a draw u can get with ur hand. It's a very complicated game to play a lot of bluffing going on ect.
Oh ya don't play lo thats only for hi. Hi/Lo is just gay u have to split the pot a lot of the times.

could not of said it better myself
thx. It's a good game to play if u no how to play it, cuz there is a lot of bad players compared to NL holdem. That is the reason y most pros play PLO cuz the avg skill set in PLO is a lot lower then NLH.
Yeah, very good game if you KNOW how to... but I'll not say it's a VERY complicated game. Just watch the pros and high stakes players playing and you'll quickly learn the game. Pay big attention to what hands they play, raise preflop etc... but beware playing this game limit and pot limit is very very different.
