Currently im playing 2-5 Nlh and im doing preety well, the problem is that the whales prefer to play 5-5 mixed(1 orbit plo 1 orbit nlh) up to 10-20 mixed and i end up playing vs 6-7 shortstackers(40bb deep) and 1-2 good players you cant really extract a lot of value.
Im kinda new to plo as i just started to watch vids here and play some low stakes on stars.The question is, do you think its a good idea to start playing on the mixed games where i can get a lot of value in holdem hands and nit up IP on plo?
Im currently on a 20-25bi roll for that game, maybe i should wait and get better on plo while grinding more BI or should i take a shot at the mixed game and see what happens?
Tbh the competition will be a bit harder against the regs but there are always 3-4 ppl that spew off money.
Also i would greatly apreciate if you could point out some good instructional vids about plo, live or online.

sounds like you are massively under-rolled for this game if you aren't comfortable with plo.

I'd highly recommend putting a few hundred online and just playing a bunch of low stakes plo hands, that way you'll get a chance to learn some very important lessons about plo and it will cost you far less.
