No one shows more enthusiasm for Pot Limit Omaha than Joey Ingram, who continues on his quest to introduce more players to PLO by breaking down a hand between Ben 'Sauce123' Sulsky and Daniel Negreanu.

"One of the greatest things about Pot Limit Omaha is that you never have to fold a button and you never have to fold to a three-bet," Ingram tells his viewers, with more excitement than a kid opening presents on Christmas morning.


Sauce vs DNegs

Sulsky is referred to by ChicagoJoey as one of the best PLO players in the game, while the Poker Hall of Famer from Canada gets labeled as an amateur due to his limited experience playing "the great game of Pot Limit Omaha," as Ingram has been known to say ad infinitum.

DNegs is, of course, more familiar with Texas Hold'em. But perhaps ChicagoJoey forgot about Negreanu's 2013 SCOOP title in the $5,200 buy-in Pot Limit Omaha 6-Max event that was good for a $216,000 payday. Or perhaps not.


Called the Bluff

The hand breakdown finds Negreanu on the button with almost $80,000 on the table while streaming live on Twitch and comfortably laying in bed. Sulsky is to his immediate left with more than $30K in a $100/$200 8-Game Mixed on PokerStars.

Take a look at the video and the accompanying commentary by Ingram. KidPoker also has some choice comments of his own when Sauce123 fires a $6K bet on the river holding only a pair with the board showing four cards to a straight.


Trickett vs DNegs

Here's another PLO hand involving the Team PokerStars Pro with analysis by Ingram and viewers may get a better idea of why ChicagoJoey refers to Negreanu as an amateur PLO player.

The opponent is Sam Trickett, the location is Australia, and the blinds are $1,000/$2,000 AUD. Negreanu is again faced with whether or not to make a call on the river, only this time its for $43K instead of $6K.
