Re: Short-stacked PLO8 HU - what to jam with
When you have 5-10xBB there is no outplaying your opponents. There is only, “is this hand good enough to get my stack in with”. If you open raise its to 3.5xbb, and if your opponent calls then the pot is 7bb and you only have ~5 or fewer BBs left. So I would almost never fold in that spot.
But playing any 4 cards is bad as well. You definitely need to loosen up your standards, but playing 78JK rainbow is usually throwing money away.
