UTG +1 in 6 ring or 9 ring? makes a big difference UTG +1 is MP in 6 ring, D. is pot sized raise from early position to limit field, The rest are pretty marginal to trashy for an early position. The table compisition will help, are there a lot of pre-flop raises? does someone always raise the pot when he plays the hand? A and B are really working only 1 way so probably not worth playing from any position (with the exception of Button or BB with no raises before). C's a heartbreaker and will cost you money, E. is not much better both need miracle flops.
Need some help figuring out playable PLO starting hands (online, 6-handed, low-mid stakes). As it's tough to talk about ranges of hands, let's try some scenarios instead. You are UTG+1 and UTG folds. Would you raise, limp, or fold with the following starting hands:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
This thread is stupid, we could go on for years looking at lists of bad starters. What is yr point OP? Do you want to know what good starters are? Cos none of the BS you posted here makes any sense. Go find a list of good starters and work from there, don't keep posting marginal muck and ask for votes....
Posting about what to do with isn't really helpful either. The point is that the types of hands I'm posting make up 85%+ of PLO starting hands. I mean, I included pocket aces, pocket kings, a suited ace, four straight cards, and two pair in just 10 hands! If you are folding 8-9 of those hands preflop, how can you ever avoid having the blinds just eat your stack in a 6-max PLO game? I seriously don't get it.
Do you guys really have a VPIP of like 20% or less in 6-handed PLO? That's what it looks like from these examples, and that seems crazy low to me.
From UTG, easily. Probably playing 70/55 3b 15% OTB.

All right, since the consensus seems to be that only hand D from the first set is playable (although I would tend to limp in with hand C myself, probably unwisely) let's try some different hands. What would you do with these in the same position as described before (you are UTG+1, 6-handed, UTG folds)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Thoughts? Fold, limp, or raise for each one?
I'd probably fold all of those except I might limp with KK-trash-trash or maybe play the KJ97. the rest are trashy. Really the QT98 is the only real quality hand.
