What is a typical Pre-flop raise % for PLO/8. I have been playing Low limit ($25-$50 Max) being very aggressive. My Stats (based on the online software, no PTO) are around 15-20% for a preflop raise. Maybe it has been getting some good starting cards.

THhoughts? Would it work at higher stakes?

Works pretty good at these stakes. I see the flops about 35-45% including BB and SB

The problem with raising PF in PLO8 is that you are forcing out alot of the hands that would would pay you off if you hit the flop.

If you raise with A2sXX then by raising alot people will fold their A3's and A4's and possibly their mid-high suited cards.

You'll end up winning more pots, but they'll be smaller on average.

I usually take the stance similar to PLO, to only raise in position or to build the pot. Obviously if I am on the button with 4-5 limpers with A23x I'll pop it up to 3 BB, but mainly to sweeten the pot.

I am still working on my PLO8 game playing mainly PLO8 50$ and 100$. My stats are alot tighter than yours playing about 22% of the hands and PFR about 6% of the time. I raise 2 or 3bb with scooping hands, I really feel trapping people with their non-nut hands is where the payoff is especially at low stakes.
