I feel like I'm far too nitty at PLO... I always just assume that people have the nuts and give them too much respect. Here are some examples:
Hand 1:
$1/$3 live PLO, average stack is $500.
There's a raise to $10, I call $10 with AsTd6d5s, 4 other callers.
Flop is Qd7d3d, there's a bet of $50 and I fold.
Hand 2:
$1/$3 live PLO, average stack is $500
8-handed and everyone limps, I have JhTd9s6c
Flop 7c7h8c
I flopped a wrap with no club draw. I could be dead to a boat or worse, if someone has a hand like T7xx, there could be reverse implied odds, since the card that gives me a straight gives someone else a boat.
Someone bets $20 (almost pot) and I fold my wrap.
Hand 3:
10c/25c 6max zoom PLO on Stars, average stack is $25
There's a raise to 75c, I 3bet SB to $2.60 with AsAh8d4d, PFR calls
Flop ($5.20) is J87r
I check, he bets $3 and I fold
I was told when I first started playing PLO that I should basically fold all draws on paired boards and fold anything below 2pairs to a bet... this makes it really hard for me to play my AAxx hands because I have to just x/fold 3 streets, and even my rundowns are no good unless I'm lucky enough to flop a wrap on an unpaired rainbow board, which rarely happens.
How do I know when to call down and get sticky with non-nutted hands in PLO? When is it okay to get sticky with Aces or get sticky with a straight even when a flush is out there?
Hand 1: You should probably fold pre.
Hand 2: Easy fold
Hand 3: It matters a lot where the raise is from, but given the 5% uncapped rake, is a super marginal play for someone at your skill level.
Definitely dont fold all draws on paired boards, but vs 7 other players who see the flop it's great advice. Your last question takes way too long to answer.
Yeah from my experience in these full ring casino PLO tables it's best to play tight preflop, playing hands that can make the nuts or nutted draws often, ace high suits, big pairs, well connected hands etc. as for post flop it's fine to play very straight forward and nitty when pots go 5,6,7 ways to the flop. You shouldn't be worried about being exploited by overfolding hands because typically if someone is betting hard into a big multiway pot they have a big piece.
This is where all of your history and reads, timing and sizing tells, game flow, etc. come into play. It's hard to say because everything gets very hypothetical at this point, and depends on different variations of all of those factors.
