Default short stacked, what kind of hands do i want to get all in multiway

preflop
say i have around 20BB at a full table, all stacks cover me most have 100BB.
i figure i probably want to avoid naked big pairs because they get very dominated by higher pairs. all wraps are probably good. but what about hands like A4sKJs

I never play that shortstacked, but I would probably get it all-in with AAxx, AKKxs, any 4 broadway cards, and any ds wrap hands.

I would get it all in with any kind of playable hand including hands like 5667 and 3467 unsuited. Generally there is enough of a chance that you will be getting 4-1 on your 20BB and one or more of the other players will drop out
when they still had a chance to win the pot, giving you an overlay on your money.

I don't agree that 5667 and 3467 are worth getting money all-in with (or even playing). In general, you should be playing tighter short-stacked as any hand you play becomes a significant portion of your stack. These garbage hands are only worth playing if double-suited, and even then, they are still marginal.

If it is all in before the flop, what is the most common winning hand? The answer is 2-pair. Whenever you have low cards, it's much more likely that somebody else's 2-pair beats your 2-pair.

If you some twodimes numbers on this hands versus 3 playable hands including high cards and high pairs you are probably going to want to amend your post. The poster said he's getting 4 or 5:1.

Well, I'm too lazy to run hands 5-way. Anybody want to volunteer?

These kinds of hands tend to have a [censored]load of equity in low and mid limit PLO games online because people overplay the crap out of big pairs and broadway cards. Anytime you are all in in a multiway pot with a low run or a low pair and two coordinated cards you are going to be neutral equity at the very least in these games and quite often a decent favorite. Beset's example was *somewhat* extreme but not really too far out. I'll put my stack in with 5677ss before I'll do the same with AKQJss.

i figure hands like 5667 or 3467 fare worse than Axs + Kxs with someother broadway, but i'm not sure and really have no way to prove it (hence the thread)

usually only 1 or 2 opponents will stay until showdown
