New to Hi/Lo games and feel like a complete regard... How do I not win the low here??

Top Comment: Your low is A2678 and his low is A4567. Lows always start by comparing the largest card and moving down so a 7 low is going to be lower than an 8 low regardless of others cards involved.
Omaha HI/LO compared to Hold'em Low/Mid stakes
Main Post:
Hi
The pros and cons as I seeit with Omaha HI/LO low/mid stakes online. (NL & PL)
Pros:
- There is lesser information out there on this variant, you can barely find a course. Sure, its just Omaha with a parallell low system, and solvers do exist for every variant as far as I believe, but the game adds mathematical complexion I believe (?), so studying and simulating this game, if you have the capability may give you a nice edge. I do not believe that you have downloadable GTO tourney preflop charts for every stack size and tons of courses like NLHE.
Cons:
- Much smaller player base than holdem, meaning that fewer fish and whales jump into tourneys
- Since it has a smaller player base, you will mainly face specialist in this variant and it will not be easy even if you have studied the game to a crazy level.
- Playing NLHE cash 1$ for example on a friday saturday, whales and fishes will regulary join tables and splash around, I doubt that happens in Omaha HI/LO
Summary: Could be a good game to study and become a specialist in, but as said, the small player base may be a problem. Let me know your take and if you think I'm wrong.
Someone may feel like a pioneer, "Hey I'm gonna become a complete Omaha HI/LO nerd and rake in the money". But maybe they are better off keeping to studying NLHE and grinding NLHE?

If oyu have access to these games and like it: just go for it. I expect it not be as hard as you seem to think.

5 card PLO H/L Resources
Main Post:
Hello all,
Does anyone know where to find basic training resources for 5 card PLO H/L?
I’m in a pokerrrr group that is absolutely full of fish. It was actually free money when playing NLHE or PLO.
Now these degenerates just want to play 5 card because there is so much luck involved.
Top Comment: Why stop at 5? Poker stars offers 6 card in their home game menu. I have played 5 card Omaha hi low tournaments here at Maryland Live. There is some strategy to it. Have 3 cards to the wheel at a minimum pre flop. 5 babies is ideal. Similar to seven card hi low, play hands that can crush the low, sometimes you’ll pair or trip up by the river. No low no go.
