i dont get people who moan about the standard of us "sky" players.. if we are that bad then rather than just moaning cos we get the odd bad beat why dont they just come and take our "easy money"
surely they want me to call their all in with 74... gotta exect that 74 WILL win sometimes, but not in the long run!
Thanks Tikay I'm pretty good on STT dynamics it's the adjustment from knowing what to open shove or call with from NL to Omaha. IE what is the equivalent of Ax, small pair, connected high cards, so your ranges are very useful thanks. Posted by Phantom66
Difficult to do a direct comparison of hands here. With an Ax hand you are hoping to get it in against KQ KJ type hands which make you about 60/40. Or better still a worse Ace for 70/30
In PLO the best starting hand is AAKK ds but if it is up against 89TJ ds(other 2 suits) then it is only about a 2 to 1 favourite preflop. Unless called by a real raggy hand you are never that far in front. I would focus on hands that work together well and have as many of your 6 hands nut drawing as possible

Absolutely this.
We are never far ahead, or far behind, we just need to play enough hands to beat variance, & get a bit of run-good.
Very important to remember that "hands that work well together" thing, this is the KEY to PLO & PLO8. We'd almost rather have a nice double suited rundown, 8-9-10-J or similar, double suited, than "bad" Aces. A-A-9-4 is just horrible, it is SO vulnerable, as one pair ain't gonna win often unless we get Heads Up, & even then barely half the time.
