So, after 15 years of poker i have followed threads here for a couple of weeks and i find it really interesting to read your posts. I am wondering if you guys could share som thoughts how to approach PLO and NLHE rounds in 8-game since it has a 40bb CAP on stars. I know tight aggressive play is correct but this is something in between i think. Say its a raise and a call and we got pocket 33s. Maybe fine to shove 20 but not 40bb? What about 3 betting in PLO rounds where we up with 1.5SPR postflop? Any help would be nice.

40bbs NLH used to be described as "Mid Stack Strategy", the only problem is that it's main principal was to only play full ring tables ...

40bbs PLO is a ****ing pain ...
At this time, I still don't know how to beat it ...

Fold 33 after a raise and a call. Only don't fold, let the clock expire so you can get back to the TD2-7 with less hands played.

pretty sure it's a cash game and it's number of hands

What would my bb/100 be if I'd folded every hand of CAP PLO 6max?
-1.5bb / 6 hands
-15bb / 60 hands
-?? / 100 hands ??

Hard to say. Sometimes they all fold while you are in the BB. Sometimes they or SB limp, you check and flop the nuts.

oh yeah thats right thanks

what a pain this freaking 40bbs CAP ...

I remember they introduced it few years ago to encourage new players to try 8-Game without fearing loosing big (100bbs NLH and 100bbs PLO) but traffic is just as bad if not worse ...
