Been playing a lot of micro (5c/10c) PLO cash the past 2 weeks and really enjoying it. Such a different skill set required to profit in this game compared to NLHE. Though I use PT3 regularly, I've downloaded HEM to use the trial period for now since it works with omaha games, especially the HUD. Was wondering if anyone could comment on which HUD stats they would find most important for PLO. Right now I set it up pretty basically to just show:
line 1: vp/pfr/3bet/af
line 2: FlopCbet / FoldtoCbet / RaiseCbet
Also pay a lot of attention to WTSD and W$SD as its obviously good to know for this game the gamblers from the nut-peddlers. Any suggestions/recommendations for me getting into this?
On a BR note, someone said it's recommended that you have at least 50 buy-ins for a PLO game, which sounds generally reasonable given the high variance, agree or disagree?
Final question: While grinding the micro tables is fairly straightforward (position, hand selection, and making people pay for their draws are tops on strat), what kind of adjustments do you feel need to be made as you move up through the stakes? i.e. I'm profiting nicely even though I'm running at about a 40/8 (lol, though I've got pretty solid postflop play, IMO) right now in the micros, but I don't expect that to be profitable moving up in levels. Any good links you can supply are also appreciated. Thanks for the help!

Can't figure it out, I think it just added as my picture. WTH. Hey I tried, now give me some feedback on my questions! lol
EDIT: K figured it out...now some help with my legit questions would be appreciated TYVM!
I saw your post in the BAW thread and wanted to offer what I could.
I'm unsure regarding the HUD, but what you mentioned seems reasonable/right.
With regard to the BR, for PLO, more is better.
And for more info/strat etc, Jeff Hwang is supposed to be good.
His books... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=sear...amp;x=0&y=0
A CP article so you can see his writing style, and thought process http://www.cardplayer.com/cardplayer-magaz...mit-omaha-hands

fwiw I found the hwang book very basic, but for 25c it's probably just what you need.
Try starting out with a very minimalistic hud, then when you get comfortable with the game and start moving up in stakes, add in stats that you find are helpful. I would do something like this:
Name/Hands/Winrate
Vpip/Pfr/3b
Flop AF/Turn AF/River AF

Word definitely useful to have those bolded up there. By chance, if you feel the hwang stuff to be very basic (which is fine because I still need to refine my basic strat anyway), is there anything a little more advanced that you would recommend I check out when I'm ready?
