I really need to start treating this game with a bit of intelligence.

Pre-flop I've been restricting myself to hands with an A with at least one other wheel card, and at least one broadway card, with the 4th card being either a 6 or less or another broadway. If the Ace is suited — bonus. If two other cards are suited to the broadway, that's fine, but not ideal.

I do OK, but my VPIP/PFR is like 20-25/11-15, and I see many other successful players playing 50/30 and getting away with it. Primarily they're playing hands that are "officially" folds, and getting away with it — possibly because I'm folding too many hands post flop.

I'd like to put some of these hands through a solver, but which one?

Monker solves PLO8 I believe. But it's damn expensive.

ProPokerTools is an advanced calculator like FlopZilla for all games where you can filter certain card/s from ranges, but their servers will be dead for some months.

It's an odd game which is really cool because there are different winning styles. You can actually win playing a 25/0/0 limping strategy at least on micros. Those that play loose and win - I've noticed some 3bet really small to play heads up pots IP. You can battle them by 4betting looser because their small 3bets often mean just some random A2 crap.

I am not too sure about this - but try instead of focusing on the 4 cards being high and/or low without danglers, focus more on the suitedness. AK93ds doesn't look as pretty as A23Kr but in a 3 or 4 bet pot, those suits are more than just a bonus. Check out Dylan Weisman's bankroll videos. Sure, it's PLO Hi Cash, but see how he battles the aggro tards - with being an even bigger aggro tard. Perhaps this applies to PLO8 too xD

Thanks for that nsavov.

Another thing I've been doing is joining pots when holding 99xx
If it has A2 - A5 in there as well I might even iso-raise. The reasoning being that 9 is the worst card of all in O8 since it can't make a nutted hand, so if 9 falls the set is supremely well disguised
