Hello eveyone on this part of the forum.
I've been playing texas for a long while now and have dipped my toe into PLO a little bit.

When I started out playing texas there was a great route to gain experience - home games and league games that required little expense. Then even when I began online I utilised play chips prior to depositing.

Now my next project is to add PLO to my itinerary. I want to play catch up as quickly as possible and would welcome suggestions/comments on the best way to proceed.

Play chips is pointless. For texas it was fine as I understood strategy but eg I do a play chips game and 1 player pot opens hand after hand - not really learning anything there.

There is a PLO £3 tourny on FT everynight and I was thinkin of burning money in that to learn the game.

I'm not really up on the good authors on PLO. Which book/books should I get.

Also @drmcboy - should I use beginners section for any future q's or this forum section.

AND can anyone give me a link to discussion on starting hands. Eg Sklansky has a grid in his book scoring starting hands according to strentgh (as far as I remember it as I don't have the book to hand).

I've just looked at one of my old books by Phil Hellmuth "Play poker like the pros" - Phil has done his usual half arsed job. He lists the top 26. Well done Phil there's over 250000.

Any other advice most welcome. ty
