I would like to help you out raisor by sharing some of my experiences.
1. chasing a K high flush draw is not a great idea with a few others in the pot.
2. play underfulls very carefully in multiway pots.
3. I just read Lyle Berman's section of PLO in SS2 and started to incorporate that into my game. It is more strategy and opens a few more hands to play. For example, if you hold 9965 and the flop is 944 you should bet out and hope that someone with a 4 is dragged along. It is a great play and very profitable.
4. you MUST be able to lay down some big hands. Such as low straights or underfulls.
5. a REraise PF usually means AAxx. Try to take notes on people who do this with double suited cards or offsuited. I generally call with it being offsuit or reraise if I can severely limit the field. Just don't get too crazy with it. It can and WILL lose big pots if you are not careful.
6. position is the single most important thing to keep in mind. I have won A LOT in the BB and LPs. the BB IMO is the greatest place to be because if it gets limped around and you have a decent/monster flop you can get paid off nicely by some dope.
7. cards that work together win more. I am getting used to folded hands like AA83 or KK72 offsuited in EP unless it is a really passive table.
8. I never call with trips in the whole. it just isn't for me. I don't know if this is a mistake but to me, set it or forget it, and with me having one out to look for, it is not a good situation.
I'll let you know if I get more but I hope this helps. Read and reread FM's PLO part 1 and 2 and understand them before you sit down and play. You'll notice that a lot of people who lose are playing hands that are vulnerable and the type of hands FM says not to play.Statistics: Posted by Stl10202 — Mon Aug 15, 2005 4:53 am
