Hello all-

I have a hand to review from a PLO8 MTT. I've been mainly playing FLO8 but have been wanting to work on my PL and NL game as well.

20 players left, 32 get paid so we are in the money. The play has opened up a bit since the money bubble but no one is getting too out of control. I'm having a hard time in these types of spots. Any comments would be appreciated.

Again, these types of spots are foreign to me. I only have ~6BBs but with it being pot limit does it change the way you jam? Should I just limp here or do I pot it and get almost my entire stack in? It would leave me with only around 2k left. Does that change the way you approach a jam/limp decision?

Any thought welcome.

Thanks in advance

I would jam in this spot anywhere under 10bb whether it was nl or pl. Not a killer hand but good enough to jam over limpers imo.

Edit: this should probably be a jam by default but if a couple of players could bust in next orbit / or limpers have a very strong range icm factors can make calling ok

This is about a top 20% hand so the equivalent of A9o or 66 in NLHE. Seems like a jam. Really more of a tournament question than a PLO8 question. I suppose the relevant factors are how weak the limpers' range is and if there is any chance they fold.

Very clear jam as pointed out by everybody. More interesting is how weak hands you should be shoving here. I'd go at least as low as AK94r.
