Message: [QUOTE="TheStackman, post: 5497988, member: 419167"] [b]Starting Hands for PLO8/FLO8[/b] [COLOR=#1D2129]These are your top tier hands and should stand up to any raise preflop:[/COLOR] [COLOR=#1D2129][FONT=Helvetica]Assume all the aces are suited. Double suited hands are stronger than just ace suited. A-A-2-x A-A-3-x[FONT=inherit] A-2-3-x A-2-4-x A-2-x-x A-3-4-x A-A-x-x (careful here! If at least one ace is not suited--this is a hand that can carry great risk. I do not suggest raising preflop with this hand!) If any of the above hands are unsuited, evaluate your position relative to the button before calling any raises preflop.[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#1D2129][FONT=inherit]Next tier has any A2xx, A3xx, any 4 cards from A-T (suited or unsuited), high pairs suited or connected and the ever dangerous 23xx. With 23xx, late position is better than early position and fold this hand unless you get trips on the flop or if the A does not flop. Middle pairs and middle connected cards are asking for trouble. You are most times going to be outdrawn by the nut flushes out there, nut straights and full houses. Unless you are in one of the blinds and facing no raises--let that bone go! If you do not nail a good draw on the flop with your middle cards, or nail your nuts on the flop--let that bone go. If there are 2 suited cards on the flop and you make your middle straight but nut straight-------bet enough to get the flush draws to fold or you will be in trouble! Final thought: Omaha Hi/Lo (especially pot limit) is a game of nuts. Always assume that if a flush hits, the nuts are probably out there. If there is a full house and someone is betting large, remember the the largest boat is probably out there. If you are calling a middling flush or straight--you had better have a good low to back it up! If there are several people in a pot--both the high and low nuts are probably out there. Don't be caught with second best on both ends. Let that bone go! Stackman [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
