Imagine you're playing $1/$3 live PLO at the casino. Stack sizes range from $300 to $2k. There's 9 players on the table and you're sitting in the Hijack. There's 3 limpers and you look down at:
1) AsAc7d2h
2) AsAcAdKd
3) JsJc9c6d
4) 4c4d3d3h
5) Ks8c7c6d
6) Js8s5c4c
7) 6c5d4h2d
8) KdQdTh8h
9) Jd8d7d5d
10) AcTc6h5h

I'm wondering:
- Which of these hands do you fold?
- Which of these hands do you limp behind?
- Which of these hands do you raise (pot to $19)?

I often find myself with these kind of spots and have no idea what to do...

#1/#2/#10 all have nutty components that can do well multiway. #8 isn't as nutty but has a lot of decent components going for it. The rest are iffy, for the most part, although #3 is the best of what remains.

1) AsAc7d2h pot
2) AsAcAdKd pot
3) JsJc9c6d limp
4) 4c4d3d3h fold
5) Ks8c7c6d fold
6) Js8s5c4c limp
7) 6c5d4h2d fold
8) KdQdTh8h pot
9) Jd8d7d5d fold
10) AcTc6h5h limp

Change some folds to limps/pots and some limps to pots based on tilt/drunkness

Full ring live, 4 players still left to act if we're in the HJ, I don't like coming in with 6) it really isn't that connected, suits aren't nutted. We're going to flop a lot of non nut open enders in a mw pot where we will likely have to just fold flop. Others I mostly agree with, not sure about 3) though. JJ strength MW in HJ i'm not too sure about

Pot 1,2,8,10

limp the rest unless you have aggressive players behind

1) AsAc7d2h

With no nut suits and being so deep I don't think you can go wrong with limping behind and trying to flop a set. You either lose 1 Blind or you could potentially win a huge one. Also, if it gets potted and a few callers behind you have a nice spot to get most of the chips in pre.

2) AsAcAdKd

As above, though haing the 3rd ace does hurt quite a bit. Is it worth potting pre if you get a bunch of callers and rarely improve/flop a nut draw?


3) JsJc9c6d

Muck it, this is trash.

4) 4c4d3d3h

Suits are pointless as you will never value bet/get called by worse when you get a flush. Just avoid this hand full stop multiway, sets will lose a ton more than you win.

5) Ks8c7c6d

Garbage, muck it

6) Js8s5c4c

Nut low, fold it pre

7) 6c5d4h2d

Asking for trouble playing this full stop

8) KdQdTh8h

Decent multiway hand, beware draws can be dominated easily though flop dependant.

9) Jd8d7d5d

Nope

10) AcTc6h5h

Not a bad limping hand if the game allows you to get to a flop cheaply. If its likely to get backraised probably get it go.

That's just my opinion of these. Obvs easier said than done when playing live though
