Re: The Importance of Position: Hold\'em vs. PLO
 

Thanks for the comments so far.

I agree that the deeper the stacks, the more important position becomes. Also, position relative to the raiser, or likely bettor, is just as, if not more important than absolute position relative to the button.

Regardless, I think PLO has both more room to vary your play as well as exploit various styles of play.

Shortstacking ratholers are very protective of their "strategy". Push and pray preflop with any reasonable hand, checkraise and pray postflop with any piece. Unexploitable lol.

while position in plo is generally "more important" than in nlh, being "in position" doesn't necessarily have more value. there are many situations in plo where i would rather be out of position than in.

Correct, but Please, don’t reveal too much.

Right, we don't want the bad players who don't understand position to start learning more things that they can grossly misapply. That would just be horrible for the games. Keep the poker secrets secret guys.
