PokerStars Faces Criticism Over PLO Rake and Decision Times

PokerStars has been under fire from the Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) community due to several issues, including rake structure and decision times. The platform applies different minimum bet sizes for cash games in Omaha and Hold'em, but the community feels that the rake structure needs to be adjusted for PLO.

PLO players on low limits pay more than twice the rake than Hold'em players at the same limits. This discrepancy is particularly noticeable at lower limits, where the rake for PLO players is significantly higher. The community has been vocal about this issue, with many players calling for a more balanced rake structure.

In addition to rake, the community has also expressed concerns about the time allowed for decision-making. PokerStars announced changes to the time for decision-making in ring games, but many PLO players feel that the new time limits are too short, especially for deep-stack games. The community has been discussing this issue extensively, with many players expressing their dissatisfaction with the current system.
