The biggest lesson I\'ve learned at PLO
 
I have been playing PLO for a little while now and think that the biggest lesson that I have learned is not falling in love with hands. It took me a little while to learn that you must be able to get away from a hand that was the nuts on the flop and now isn't on the turn.

What other lessons have people learned that has helped them?

I'm new to PLO, but the turning point for me was when I realized how not loose w/ AAxx.

Here's a good one:

Say you have a hand like TT98 and the flop is 993. The other 9 is likely out there and has a MUCH better chance of filling up than you do. Not saying you should fold every time, but play this hand with extreme caution.

I learned to flop/turn/river the nuts more often

It's a tough transition to make from hold'em. I think for me it was the value of a re-draw even a small. Top set with even a small flush draw, a flush with a str8 flush draw. Those extra 1 or 2 outs can make a hand that should be folded playable or a calling hand one worth a raise.

I have learn that at a table full of weak tight players you should play the board and not just your hole cards. Represent and bluff intellegintly.

ok here's one simple rule that can make anyone a winning player. If you're ever in a tough spot just remember :

"you aren't getting bluffed"

if you just remember this-you can win at this game (at least at low stakes) really it's as simple as that, you generally aren't getting bluffed

Position does not entitle you to fold good hands out of position or play bad hands with position. Actually tabling the best hand is still the most important factor.

The biggest lesson I learned in PLO, in all seriousness, is to be very over-bankrolled for the game you are playing in. After that, the three most important lessons I've learned I have related to three areas (a) table selection (b) position (c) pot control.
