Tips & Best Practices
- ✓PLO has higher variance than Hold'em — use a larger bankroll (30-40+ buy-ins for cash games).
- ✓Position is even more important in PLO than in Hold'em. Play tighter from early position.
- ✓Avoid overvaluing bare aces (AAxx with no connectivity). Strong PLO hands have multiple draws and nut potential.
- ✓Wraps (straight draws with many outs) and nut flush draws are premium hands in PLO.
- ✓Take detailed notes on opponents' tendencies in PLO — the game has more complex dynamics than Hold'em.
