At first, your opening ranges will very much depend on the other players at the table. Do they 3 bet a lot or squeeze??
About your specific questions, I would open 6789s and A678ds UTG to have some lower board coverage. This would be the bottom of my opening range, maybe add 5678s but i would fold all other lower rundowns.
For an MP startegy try to open a very similiar startgey like UTG just add some hands that are a very close fold from UTG. For example if you fold 4678s UTG you should think about opening it from the CO.
I would flat A678s IP unless ppl behind me 3 bet a tone. You can hit the nut FD and also have some other nut potential.
KQT8ds depends a lot on UTG some ppl open 10 some 30%
2345 is just too weak to call even OTB so just fold.

Hope this helps...

Please let me know what you guys think about this analysis and if we should change something. Even though I gave him a tight cbet range with only value hands we can still gii profitible OTT. Seems kind of strange so maybe something is wrong here... thanks for any advice!

I think this a clear RFI on the button here. We have a nut suit and connected cards. It doesnt get much better. When we face a three bet we have 40% vs. a 12% range and we are IP with 100bb so we def. should to call here!

I did some analysis today and giving ppl accurate range in the hard part in PJ. I think i good starting point would be OTF something like TT+,flush draws and OE to keep his range wide.
OTT i dont think that he would raise with a Q because he has a lot of showdown value and he will most likely have a a FD or OE with it. His semi bluffs are as u stated 56+:hh, 256+ and hh:dd and the rare Q3.
I think he gets to the river with so much air if we give him this range that we have a pretty clear call and we only need to be good 1 out of 3 times.

I updated the hand now you can see the result. :-)

After doing some analysis I think that we should call river here. He has a lot of semi bluffs OTT and is must likely going to follow thru with some of them because he has no showdown value! We are pretty much on the top of our range here and we basically never have a better hand than A4.

I also have PJ but i didnt have time yet to do some analysis, but hopefully i will have tomorrow. Thanks for the analysis so far. I didnt think that he would have value range 11% of the time. Thats more than i thought. I thought that he would have a lot more semibluffs than here but this range very much depends on what his bluffs with. I will look at it tomorrow and hopefully we can make some river analysis.

Sorry, I didnt even look at the limper! You are correct, with the limper it is a very marginal open and i would prefer a fold or limp behind since we have a nut suit.

This is a clear open for me on the BTN especially with beeing more than 100bbs deep. You have a nut suit and connected cards. Calling the 3bet is also standard.
OTF i think it is somewhat close but I prefer betting over checking. He will fold some dry overpairs and x/r KK with fd or open ender, which you are doing ok against.
Turn is interesting. I dont expect him to have T7 that often, but i also dont like betting to narrow his range OTR. Checking the turn behing will result in some difficult river situation if he leads out, but I still think it is the best Play in this spot.

I tried this feature as well and it is not working so please let me know if you have some news! thx

Thanks for the reply!

I thought about the hand the next day and came to the same conclusion that flop fold looks like the best play and your response confirms that.

Member review sounds very good to me. I play zoom50 so if you need someone to review id be happy to provide footage. let me know.

Something very interesting for me at least is BB and SB play since in these two position we are just trying to minimize our losses so a video about that would be great for me as well.

Hi Ph33roX,

It was nice playing some PLO50zoom today with you. :-)

First i dont think we should change our plan just because he bets so big. After thinking about it i also like check call here since we hate to get raised and i feel we could get raised a decent amount. Without holding the K or A of hearts it makes me more likely to take a more passive line here and see what the turn brings.

Exactly! If everything goes well I will be playing PLO 100 in June and no more grinding in the 50s! :-)

Well 3bb is definitely good especially before rakeback.  I dont think that a lot of ppl are making 3bb at those limits. Even the regulars that I play with everyday have some big leaks cuz otherwise they would be playing higher! Good players dont stay at those limits, winnings per hour are too low and rake is so high!

I have been playing ZOOM PLO50 since the beginning of the year. I have made around 4bb in the last 100k hands but I found some huge leak in 3bet pots beginning of this month and have been able to make 11bb/100 with an EV of 14bb/100 of the last 30k hands! (not a big sample but not bad)

I think anything between 5 and 10bb is reasonable if you play well and play an exploitative way against certain opponents.

Most important is positional awareness and to have tight range in EP(espeically play MW hands) and loosen up from CO and BTN. Work on 3 bet pots and when to 4bet or maybe 3bet AA hands and gii on which kind of flops. This is were most of the money is so it is important to play those spots well. 

Biggest leaks of players is def their positional unawarness!!! They play same stats from all pos.

They dont defend light IP vs. Steal or 3bet. Tight with stealing blinds from the BTN. Stack off too loose in MW pots.

This is just more of a general answer but I think you get the idea!

I think you need slighty better KK hand here to cold call pre. Because you will have to fold to a 4bet and you will be in a very bad post flop spot. I personally play very tight when i cold call a 3bet OOP and i am not closing the action!

Flop jams looks good

betting small sounds interesting but i dont think its the best line. You could think about betting 10 or 15 and then fold if BB raises and Btn calls. The problem is that they will sometimes call your flop bet and you will be in a very akward/difficult spot OTT.

IMO you should either pot gii or check and see what happens.

I not sure that checking is standard here but i cant think of anything else here. I feel like if you check here with your holding you are check folding and basically giving up, which i dont like. By checking flop you cant represent the nut flush anymore against a good player cuz you would never check here if you have AA with the nut FD.

I prefer betting and easy fold if i get raised, betting flushes and board pairing cards OTT.

Very interesting and important info for this spot is BTN RFI % because this would help us to define his range a lot better and we can see if we can profitable gii here.

I do think on 425 rainbow you just have to gii with SPR below 2.
