Choose your format
Select between PLO cash games, PLO tournaments, or PLO Sit & Gos. Cash games are most popular for regular PLO play.

Select your stakes
PLO variance is higher than Hold'em, so start at lower stakes than you would in NLHE. A 30-40 buy-in bankroll is recommended minimum.

Buy in and play
Take your seat, buy in for the table maximum, and start playing. Remember: you must use exactly two of your four hole cards and three of the five community cards.
Tips and best practices
- PLO has higher variance than Hold'em — use a larger bankroll (30-40+ buy-ins for cash games).
- Position is even more important in PLO than in Hold'em. Play tighter from early position.
- Avoid overvaluing bare aces (AAxx with no connectivity). Strong PLO hands have multiple draws and nut potential.
- Wraps (straight draws with many outs) and nut flush draws are premium hands in PLO.
- Use a HUD at BetOnline Poker to track PLO-specific stats like 3-bet percentage and aggression factor.
