Flush
Curious what some of the great minds of mixed games (@abby99 @BGinGA @detroitdad come to mind) think of this. I personally think it's just a way to destroy any edge a player has skill wise so Pokerstars can get that sweet, sweet, rake from uneducated micro players.

The Basics of Fusion
Fusion will be a hybrid of two different games, PLO and NLHE.
This game starts like hold'em and morphs into Omaha.
Played pot-limit and six-max, Fusion begins with each player receiving two cards. A normal hold'em round of betting follows, and then a flop arrives.
This is where the game begins to alter, as each player receives a third card at that point. Action continues, and everyone left after the turn receives another card, completing the hole cards into a four-card Omaha hand.
At that point, the game becomes regular PLO, with players required to use two cards from their hands to make a five-card hand at showdown.
Is there a way to actually succeed at this game? i.e. nut peddle with sets, top 2 pair, nut flush and/or straight draws, and muck everything else? Or with everything changing so radically, is it too chaotic to have even a basic strategy?
