I'll continue posting in the Other Poker forum here for the time being, as I seem to be getting interesting comments and insight from guys like Drmcboy.

As for learning material...

From starting out knowing little / nothing about PLO, start here:
PLO From Scratch - Part 1 | Discussions | Donkr
this article series will take you all the way through to moderately advanced play concepts.

Other than that, the "2 X 6" video series by vanessa selbst / whitelime on DC is necessary viewing, preferably done in concert with the aforementioned article series.

Once you're done with those videos, move on to the "PLO" video series by Galfond and whitelime. Just listening to Galfond talk about PLO concepts is incredibly illuminating.

By the time you get through those videos, you should be close to done the article series and have most of the tools necessary to beat levels up to 100 PLO. Of course, all this assumes you have some propensity to internalize the information being given to you, and take the time to study, review, ask questions, comment on other people's hands etc. you know, the usual 'getting good at poker' shit.

I should mention that having not beaten anything beyond 10 PLO yet I can't confirm that this is enough material or w/e but it seems to me to be more than enough.
