I'm playing my first ever live PLO tournament next week and was wondering if any of you guys have any good advice you can pass on? I know the game I play it now and then online but I'm practically a beginner.
Thank you so much for this your advice is invaluable, its people like you that make this forum such a great place. I can't wait to put this into practice I will let you know how I do!I've only played a couple of live trnys, one was a mix, and the other was str8 up PLO; I cashed in the first one. I've played and cashed in plenty of online trnys.
If it's a re-entry I'd play a slightly tighter range than I would in a rebuy. Hands likeor
are perfect to call with in the BB of the rb's while hands like
and
are more playable/call worthy out of pos/blinds, imo.
When I'm in position the main thing I do is see how many starting hands I can get out of my 4. So a starting hand likecan yield possibly 2 straights, 2 possible flushes, 2 possible straight flushes, and an ace high, so quite the equitable starting hand in position. One of my favorite starters is
or
. They're real nice for busting flopped sets and over pairs. GL in your trny and may the flop be with you.

lolMy best advice would be not to play unless it is for very small stakes. Omaha is a lunatic's game. You can flop top set with the nut flush and not straight draws but get busted out by some clown drawing wildly against pot odds with a total garbage hand.
