I acknowledge I"m speaking from a point of view that it has affected me massively,

Is it right that a non-main variant of poker in PLO takes up 40% of the Team Event games?

I completely understand where you"re coming from Warren, however I"m not sure that PLO is considered a "non-main" variant of poker any more - in my opinion, PLO is now considered to a be a core variant alongisde NLHE, and is not really a "mixed" game any more.

Personally, I would support an even wider variance of mixed games within the Team Event. Yes 40% of the published profile is PLO..... but from the opposite standpoint, is it right that such a prestigious event should be made up of 60% NLHE?  With a much wider mix, the team that wins would generally be the team that is able to dominate across multiple disciplines and variants, rather than just conventional NLHE. I suspect a major problem with mixing it up though would be dealer availability and cost.

Interesting discussion though...
