Hey I just started playing some 1-2 PLO 6max
In NLHE 6max you need to smash limpers over the head repeatedly.

This is what I do in 6max PLO, but I've been running into shortys in the blinds.
Ex. A 65/10 limps for 2$ with 100$

He is passive and bad and I am button with
KT98
and I make it 9$
BB makes it 24$ with 13$ behind
Limper folds

I folded, because BB had been playing tight. Good bad ugly?
Is this an obvious limp spot with the shorty in the blinds?

Also: In David Sklansky's book Tournament poker for advanced players, he has a section called "Two Wonderful Charts"
It shows what kind of pot odds you need in order to call all ins against specific hand ranges.

Is there anything equivalent to this in PLO?

this is not the type of hand i want to put it all in vs a shorty.
since he has only $13 behind i fold here

A call is committing $28 to win $39. At worst you're 40% (unless he has KKQJds, KKT9ds)... you're probably a little better than that vs. his range. I'd typically just call and get it in on flop barring a flop like 333 or AA4 rainbow.

Then I have some major leaks =)
Ok so I basically can never fold getting 2-1 odds?
What if I made it 9 and he made it 24 with 24-60 behind?
Thanks

the more he has behind the greater your implied odds will be, basically you shouldnt be folding a hand like that to a reraise getting 2-1

You can't be that bad off against a shorty's range. Probably correct to call and play Flop as Vetiver suggested.
