PLO Rasing hands?

KINGJACK · #1 (**permalink**) 02-03-2006, 09:28 AM

I play a few PLO 3$ rebuy MTTs every months and I'm doing pretty well...

However, I definately dont know what I do and I think my succes is more related to the fact my opponents are enven worst!!

Honestly, at the moment, the only hand I raise PF are hands inclunding AA or KK... but it must be some other hand I could raise!?!?!?

I know there is a PLO section in PPLTP, but one of my friend is reading it right now.

Any input about anything else I should do would be great too... especialy on the flop, cause I think I play the last 2 street pretty well, but I'm extreamly passive on the first 2.

the main reason to raise is so when you hit the flop you can bet a lot - in my opinion. Not really value raising like in holdem.

Very coordinated double suited hands are a good candidate. and any AAxx that is double suited.

Some times you can thin the field too, but not usually. Later in the tourney I wouldn't do a lot of raising becuase the blinds will be so big compared to your stack anyway, unless the table is playing tight.

Trons stole a lot of pots in his big PLO win.

where do you play this tourney?

When I had my big PLO win, I got fairly lucky to build a big stack about mid way through...after that, I just stole pots pre and post flop...I also played a lot of drawing hands...AA if they were suited with something else, things like that...
