Hi all.
I am currently playing in a juicy-looking PLO game with one 2 dollar blind. Min. buy-in is 100 and accepted wisdom at this table seems to be to try to get lucky with 100 or rebuy for the minimum again. This results in a lot of all-in before the flop situations with 3, sometimes 4 or 5 players.
(over?)judging myself as one of the better PLO players in that game, I find myself playing very tight preflop, mucking all those danglers from early (TT72 and so on). Also, I do not bluff very much, just occasionally with the old bare flush A.
I do raise a number of hands, like KKQT, AAxxs, 6789ds, JJT8s, ... and I play aggressive if I do flop to my hand, be it a made hand (top or middle set) or a good draw (wraps, two pair with nut flush draw...)
Lately I started thinking, I might be playing TOO TIGHT, though.
How tight should you play in PLO, can you play too tight? When does your profit go down? Are there any bluffing opportunities?
Thx for the advice.
