[ QUOTE ]

I would say he probably has a modest pocket pair, but maybe even as high as TT or 99. The preflop play is so weird that there is a decent chance that he is doing something totally stupid though. ...

Re: whats a good BB/100 hands for plo8
I think about the best you can expect to sustain is about 10-15 BB/100 if you are excellent compared to the competition. I had a winrate of 47 BB/100 at the $25 buy in games around various sites...
