I like to open and 3bet / 4 bet with the following hands:

AK, AQ, AJ, A10, KQ, KJ, K10, QJ, Q10. (suited or unsuited).

I will open with any pair also and A9 or better (suited or unsuited). Also I will open with connecting cards - 1 gappers or 2 gappers (suited or unsuited.

My preflop calling range will involve middle to low pairs JJ or lower and any 1 gappers or 2 gappers connecting hands (suited or unsuited).

Obviously I will open / 3 bet / 4 bet with AA, KK, QQ and I will just open / call any 3 bet with JJ - 22 to try and flop a set and if I don't flop a set, proceed cautiously on the flop if i'm up against the 3better.

Everyone's feedback is greatly appreciated here!

It depends a lot on with position and how aggressive or passive the table is where you are playing how wide I would 3bet/4bet and open in the first place. Also antes and ICM in later stages has influence on the ranges and the chip dynamic as well.

If the table is tight, I will 3bet/4bet religiously. The $55 Sunday Marathon last weekend went down that way. They were all nits.

I got away with ALOT, even though I got knocked out in 76th place, my best ever cash.

Am I correct in assuming that these ranges apply in 8-Game?
Do you play similar ranges in NLHE-only tournaments?

Position is critical, and stack size makes it even more so, since following NLHE in 8-Game is PLO and it is the weakest game for most players (or at least it seems so to me -- perhaps because for a long time it was my weakest game).
It is good to have a big stack going in to PLO because players will get out of your way if you show some aggression.

All the best,
