the new PLO challenge:

>first let me begin by saying that Robert Williamson III has to be, hands down, the most charismatic down-to-earth red pros I've seen so far in these videos.
[altho I wouldn't mind smoking a doob w/ Alan Boston sometime Smile

]

>I can also assume that this is why the full-ring .01/.02 PLO games have waiting lists. I dunno about u guyz, but sitting in 6-handed PLO for 40 minutes [zomg 90 minutes] is not conducive 2 one's mental health.

>not sure if this is the 1st PLO challenge the academy shoulda put out.
I personally have some background in starting hands
[Lyle Berman in SS2, and an old thin paperback by Bob Ciafonne,
and no guyz, raising in EP, or with AAxx preflop, ain't really a good idea]
but a lot of new guyz don't have ANY frame of reference.

well... also notice that NONE of the challenge tasks have ANYTHING to do specifically with bluffing. So, it's good to just have a challenge for PLO players. However, I think that is also a flaw... if bluffing is so important, they SHOULD have made the tasks force the players who are trying to learn (like I will be when I get around to this challenge) to bluff effectively to complete the challenge. This is a great challenge, in my opinion... but this should be an "Introduction to Pot-Limit Omaha" challenge, even though I recognize it's much harder than just an introduction.

The coding isn't able to pull specific hands from non-hold'em games. Sucks cause if they don't have it for PLO yet, then we're WAAYYYY off from having mixed game with hand specifics.
