#1 Common PLO Mistakes – Playing too many hands that have unconnected or low cards With that in mind, let's start with a common preflop PLO mistake. PLO has 270,725 possible starting hands, so it is easy to see why preflop mistakes are more common in PLO games. Those who frequent No Limit Hold'em games know there are 1,326 possible starting hands. However, get it wrong, and you're on shaky ground where your house, read that as bankroll, can come toppling down at any moment. Start from a solid base and you have a platform from which to build.
Think of the preflop stage of PLO as building the foundations of a house. Most PLO mistakes can be prevented preflop. You make big hands far more regularly than in No Limit Hold'em, the pots grow larger and do so faster, and the less experienced PLO players make the same mistakes over and over again, leading to PLO being potentially very lucrative indeed. Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) is one of the most fun poker variants you can play online.
