Now is the best time to learn PLO

The CoinPoker PLO Cash Game World Championship is great value for the players and even better for the railbirds watching it.

The action has been frantic at CoinPoker

We may be witnessing the biggest boost for online Pot Limit Omaha right now, thanks to no rake, a fancy watch and a championship belt. 

That is also because of the PLO Cash Game World Championship. Four weeks of rake-free cash game action with live-streamed games, $55k in prizes, a championship belt and even a $15,000 Rolex. 

The first day was something to behold in online poker, with 60 concurrent tables of PLO500 or higher running at once. 

Day 2 was just as frenetic, with highlights brought to you by PLO stars Richard Gayler and 'Suhpex'. Day 3, we saw two other crushers in the game of four card poker, KakiTee and Martin Dam reviewed the biggest hands from the third day. 

What is different about this series is that all the hands being reviewed are submitted from the players and the railbirds, so there is very much a return to the days of online high-stakes games being watched online for entertainment. There is a real community feel and a sense that, finally, PLO players are being catered for. 

Not only is this the best time to play online PLO, it's also the best time to learn online PLO, as all these hand review videos from PLO end bosses are completely free and coming out daily. PLO still doesn't have solvers in the way that No Limit does, so the best way to learn the game is from crushers like these reviewing the action.
