So is microstakes PLO just pure nutpeddling? Do I dump my made straight every time the board pairs, a 3rd flush card falls, or a card comes that makes my straight no longer the nuts?

Also, I'm waiting pre-flop for those "magic hands" that Jeff talks about in his book - four card rundowns, three card rundowns with a suited ace, three card rundowns with a big pair, suited AAxx hands. It seems to me that these hands are few and far between, much more rare than playable hold'em hands.

Are both these things true, or is it just my own misperception?

sadly, at the microstakes, it really is close to pure nutpeddling. it is quite boring but standard TAG play will certainly be the most profitable generally speaking.

as to your second point -- i don't really put in that many hands and get dealt rundown / wrappy type hands quite often.

It's not pure nutpeddling if you know how to read people.

running something like 15/1.5/2 is probably ideal at microstakes FR games. Hell, it probably works even at higher stakes.

while this is of course true at ALL stakes, it is much less so at microstakes. In fact, i'll bet for every 10 correct 'reads' where your FPS dictates villain should fold, at .25/.50 and below they actually fold once or twice.

i will say at microstakes your implied odds are waaaaaaaaaaaay bigger than medium and higher stakes.

i.e.: You flop a set -- bet pot / call. Turn completes a flush and you are 95% sure villain turned a flush. You check he pots (or somewhere close to it). Many villains at this level will almost never fold the river regardless of the card, so your actual potodds are much closer to the implied odds (villains or your whole stack) than the 'true' odds the turn is laying you. So in a ton of cases it makes sense to make thin turn calls vs. the right types of villains, whereas turn calls like this at most .5/1 games and above would just be burning money.

you're talking FR, I'm talking 6-max. I'll concede that you have a point.

Which vp$ip/PFR do you advice for shorthanded (PLo10 on FTP) ? I'm around 32/10, and AF=2.

Does this look correct ?

Don't play PLO10 on FT, 10% rake is not fun.

My stats at 5 max are about 40/28/4 so I find you nitty Although these stats have quite a bit 4 and 3 handed play in them.
