Know what to play

Whether it’s raising or folding, the structure of a PLO game requires you to pay close attention to the cards that make up your starting hand. It’s always good to have a healthy mix of:

  1. High cards > low cards
  2. Connectors JT98 > QT89
  3. Suits: At least one suit K high to A high (without blocking your own chances of hitting that flush)

Respect Position

Acting last certainly helps you define your opponent’s range better because in a game of PLO, it’s hard to make hands. The position certainly helps you in a heads-up pot when you check and it gets easier for you to wager and take it down.

Folding makes you money in PLO!

A game of PLO has you calling pre-flop and the flop with a probability of that big hand. In a game of hold’em, you might just hold good, however, in a game of 4 card PLO, it might not be a great hand.

For example: You have KH Q 5H 7 flush draw + gutty on a J 4 8 2h board. When you do win, you win a small pot but chances are when you play a big pot, you’ll very often run into a bigger draw and or just draw dead. So, when you wager in PLO, ask yourself are better hands folding and worse hands calling, if true, then wager.

 Money Management is crucial

In a game of hold’em, a cushioning of 50-100 buy-in bankroll might suffice since the variances are a lot lower. However, in 4 Card Pot Limit Omaha, you need a lot more cushioning considering hand equities are much closer. It’s good to have a daily 5 buy-in stop loss for PLO, remember a bad day and a bad mind frame can be detrimental here.
