Being one of the very best PLO8 players in the world - I myself can also offer advice too. the only reason I do not play PLO8 at the the mo is because I would crush every game and unfortunately we eventually run out of customers....:)
If anyone wants to make any money......take my advice......
Don't invent something that completely eradicates the problem....invent something that controls the problem, that way your customer database will always continue to grow.
Anyway.....as one of the worlds greatest PLO8 Players in the world (bar Tikay) I will see you all for a PLO8 game on Wednesday 8pm sharp (Higher or Lower?)
Just took down the 2pm £11 bh...was very dominant the whole way through which I was very pleased with, I often build up a good stack early/mid stages then kinda sit back a little and by the time it gets to last few tables im down the mid pack but really put my chips to use here. the hu was epic battle about an hour I think, should of been over lot quicker I had 116k v 19k and picked up KK with him betting in to me big it all went in v his 88 and he flopped a set, still had a decent chip lead until my TPTK got done over by a funky 2 pair Doyle Brunson would of been proud of,10 2 os, which put me down to 9k but with extreme aggression an a bit of luck doubled up 3 times in 6 hands then the hand that saved him early on,88, was his undoing v my qk s gg LmfaoAllin1380001£103.50 + £93.67 Head Prizes11£27.16
Tbh any and all advice would be welcome as im still not totally sure of what constitutes good starting holdings to raise with pre, atm I find myself limping in a lot to try and get a feel of it, pathetic I know!!
Think ill be on the 50p dyms for a long while yet, of course all advice is welcome and maybe after a few months on the tables ill actually understand said advice!!
So im off to my live Sunday night game soon, good luck to every one playing tonight TPT FTW

If the Queen was a spade, then you would have an even better hand with 2 flush draws.
In PLO8, there is always a high hand, but not always a low hand, so you should be primarily playing to win the high hand. Your low hand should always be considered secondary. However in PLO8 you are looking for a starting hand that would ideally give you a chance of winning both. Therefore the best starting hands would be
A A 2 3 with the Aces suited to the low cards e.g. Ad Ah 2d 3h
A K 2 3 double suited is also a premium starting hand.
Rainbow cards in your starting hand reduce your chances, because you cannot have a flush draw. A A 2 3 rainbow therefore is a great low drawing hand, but not as strong as you would think for the high.
Be careful if you only have two low cards in your hand, as they may be counterfeited if one of them arrives on the board. E.g. if you have A 2 K J, with either the ace or King being suited, you have a good starting hand for the high, and initially for the low, however if an A or 2 comes on the flop, turn or river, they negate the card in your hand for the low. This would mean that you would need 4 separate low cards(8 or under) on the board to even make a low.
Betting comes with experience, but halved pots, quarter pots, etc, makes calculating your odds slightly more tricky than in holdem. My rule of thumb is that if there are 2 different low cards on the flop, then I assume the majority of the time, that there will be a low hand. At this point, you should half the pot into the high pot and the low pot. if you only have a chance of the high, or if you only have a chance of the low, you should disregard half the pot when calculating your odds. If the turn does not bring a separate low, then I usually re-evaluate the chances of a low card arriving on the river.
I hope this helps you with your pre-flop and post- flop betting James.
I'm sure Trev would have been more informative, but he must be too busy crushing PLO8 on Stars or summit.
I'm sure once you have played a few DYMs, you will get a feel for it, if you have any other questions, just post them on here. If Trev doesn't answer them, I'm sure one of us lesser mortals will be able to help.
54,321 being the best
87,654 being the worst
there are five different six high hands available, so even if you have a six low, it may not be the 2nd nuts.
64,321 2nd Nut low
65,321
65,421
65,431
65,432
Even Holdem uses 5 cards to make a hand
