Rolf Slotboom's book, Secrets of Professional Pot Limit Omaha. I have been playing a bit more PLO since I read the book, and I found it helpful. Of course, in the book he says that instead of buying an Omaha book (except for his own, of course), just to read Monk's articles and post at BTP for feedback (well, that is more or less what he says :P )

I feel that Rolf's book is quite specific in that it describes a few strategies (Those strategies may be very good and are very well described by the way) that aren't really applicable in all online games, especially not the more passive low limit games online. I honestly don't think it is a great beginners book for learning PLO though. I have to agree with the advice of reading articles on here and the forum and just grind through a couple k hands to get a basic feel for it. I also think Rolf's book requires a fundamental understanding of the game if you are going to understand why his strategy works and be able to adapt it to your games as opposed to just copying his strategy.

Just my opinion though,

Yeah, I haven't really read through McEvoy/Cloutier, but browsing it at the bookstore, I think it's acceptable as short (and quickly, easily read) intro. I agree with Kuso that it's good for learning to play tight--same can be said of Phil Hellmuth's chapter on the subject, too.

Monk touches on all of the more in-depth books that I know of. I'd just change the order a bit. I really feel like Rolf is actually the most advanced book and deals largely with topics that are very different from what Ciaffone and Reuben deal with.

I think the main problems with Reuben (other than the somewhat dubious quiz structure) are that he's playing in a game of regulars and that the stacks are typically WAY deep. So, some of the ideas aren't completely applicable in normal games.

I think the deep stacks mean that you can often play somewhat looser PF, particularly with position.
