a couple things to consider:
1) your winrate when folding the BB is obv -100bb/100, and -50bb/100 for the SB. a general consideration to make now is what hands can you play with a better winrate than that. idk what the general consensus is amongst the HS regs, but defending around 40% from the BB seems adequate.
2) range vs range; your defending range vs a UTG open, a tight CO open and a lose BTN open just to name a few examples should be vastly different.
3) HU vs multiway; self explaining me thinks.
4) BvB you should defend your BB really wide as position is huge in this game. also, your play from SB will often depend on BB's tendencies.
5) big pairs in LP make money in 2 ways more or less: by either flopping huge multiway and play for stacks or by pumping your non-sd winnings in HU pots.
Thanks for the reply and here's my response to each item.
1) Fernando (aka JNandez) had mentioned that due to the high rake in microstakes PLO when facing a steal one should be folding the blinds more often than what would be optimal. IMO I'm not good enough to call 40% from the BB/SB in a 6 Max game. Would you still advocate 40% in microstakes?
2) Makes sense
3) I'm speaking HU. Basically CO/BTN vs SB/BB.
4) Agree.
5) Agree here. Lately (PLO10/PLO25 ACR) I've been seeing more 3 betting and more players who'll flat an open raise. So lately while in CO/BTN I've been shying away from 3B because I've found that I'll with an inflate pot and multiway with a hand that doesn't play well multiway (High Pairs / Medium Rundowns).
thx
