Re: PLO/8 Newbie Hand
This is an excellent point, IMHO. Not to hijack the thread, but I think this points out a very, very critical aspect of PLO8... namely, how often to raise PF. My PT stats say I raise between 8-10% preflop, with a VPIP of around 30-35%. I have seen a range of VPIP/PFR's that win consistently, but I know for sure that a PFR of less than 4 or so is a severe problem--that makes it very easy for folks to put you on A2 or AA every time to raise it PF. Although your sidecards are still a mystery, this knowledge alone (when certain) is valuable.
So, my belief is that a PFR of minimum 6 is essential. You have to raise some A34's in position, KK23's, hands like that which aren't the absolute strongest, but which are somewhat reasonable to raise with and will help disguise other raising hands that are truly premium.
Ribbo, others, your thoughts on this?
