1. At a donkish table where everyone tends to limp in pf, but very rarely fold to even a pot sized raise, do you limp more often with weaker hands hoping to hit the nuts or play a bit tighter? these are the kind of players who will raise and reraise with top pair on the flop.

You always want to play good hands. I'd be more inclined to make smallish (minimum to 3X) raises with every hand i played to fatten the pot but still keep you from committing many chips.

basically in PLO you want to either get in real cheap or get 1/2+ of your stack in pre-flop as a favorite or with odds.

2. Getting stacked with the 2nd nuts. Can this ever be justified?

what 2nd nuts? having AA on an ATTXX board or having 69 on a 78T board???? big difference.

In this thread is a link to another good thread.

But PLO is a postflop game. I'm not one to call someone a donk for limping a lot because I limp a lot, obv. Unless I'm opening the CO, Button, or SB, I only raise with AAxx and I limp with those at tables where people will take any flop for any price.

Steve's right, though. The strength of the 2nd nuts are relative from hand to hand. 6778 on a A72 board in an unraised pot is completely different from JJT9 to a KJ4 board. And A789 to a JT8 board with 2 to a flush with high action and QT96 to a 987 rainbow flop with little action.

Depends on whether you have a redraw and a lot of other variables. PLO's a postflop game, so you'll need think outside of 2 cards in your hand (Why is A2 a shit Hold'em hand? Because you're playing 1 card while others have 2 working for them.) Any drawing game requires too much deviating in the situation to give you a real answer.

Without a redraw and 36AK, there's no reason to go broke to that flop. With 3689, 3456, 3567, 3446, 3556, 3677, it's a completely different story.
