Hello,

First of all, sorry for my poor english. English is not my native language and I hope this whole topic would be readable.
As a new PLO player, I am pretty much non confident about my blind play and I would like to have you guys opinions about this stuff.
I will try to take practical example in order to illustrate how I view this spot.


BB vs Early


1. HU Pot


It's a spot where I tend to play fairly loose vs an early postion open. The reason for that is my pot odds are great and I am quite confident that my equity realization is pretty high.
Nevertheless I hear here and there that I should only call hands that I will open UTG and I wish to hear you guys opinions about that. To me it's leaking money to just fold hands like 9944ss, AJ27ss, K345ss, K692ss, KhThJh2, 5h4c3d2s etc etc. I feel like our odds are so great that we should VPIP a lot of our hands and also that folding a hand is -100bb/100 whereas if we call we just have to do better than folding winrate.
- My question is how do you guys view this spot ?
- I also wish to know if there is some winning players out there that would mind to share preflop stats in that (how much does they VPIP against UTG open).
- I also wish to know how do you view 3betting preflop in that spot. I mean I wish to have a rough 3betting %tage estimation.

Just also a quick note about answers: please avoid stuff like it depends on postflop tendancies of vilain, how deep we are etc etc. because we all know that. My question is for regular 100bb games SSPLO/MSPLO.


2. Multiway Pot


Here is a spot where I am really really confused because I feel like that in theory we should play a lot more hands because of our pot odds but I also feel like we suffer from reverse implied odds quite much in PLO. So I tend to play really goods drawy hands in multiway pots that won't be too much dominated. Qhiflush or better and rundowns that are not too low (example: Qs6s78, 5s6s78 etc.). I won't play 5432 in that spot.

Here same questions as above.


BB vs BTN


It's a spot where I am pretty confident about my play but I wish to have you guys opinions. I'm pretty much VPIP 80% vs 50% opening range and 3betting around top 12%.
What do you think about that ?


Thanks all for your future participation. If there is lot of interests in that issue I might just do a similar topic for SB.
