"There's no doubt that this strategy will beat $25 games and like you said, there are other styles and other strategies that will result in winning poker. However, I think there are some points you make that are not optimal. It also seems like this type of play will not allow you to expand and grow as a player or win for anywhere near as much at especially as you move up in limits."

I disagree strongly that learning and implementing a winning strategy for beating a loose passive PLO25 game will prevent further growth of a player. Yes, the player should be aware that all games are not the same, and this basic strategy has its limits. But as long as you are aware that differences exist between games, then I don't see why you can't continue to learn what is needed to beat other types of PLO games.

"Here are a few points that stood out the most:
Starting cards - This seems way too tight, especially for 6max."

Playing tight will lead to fewer difficult decisions on the flop. Also, it should reduce the high variance associated with PLO cash game results. This is beneficial to the beginning player. Again, I want to point out that I feel that my instructions are aimed not for an experienced PLO player to beat PLO25, but rather a beginning-intermediate player.

"Position 'LP you can loosen up a tiny, tiny bit, but don't over do it.' - Again too tight, you can loosen up a lot in LP. This game is all about position - use it."

I think the best way to use position in these games is to build bigger pots when you have good cards in good position.

"3. 'bluff very little' - Well yes and no. Obviously don't bluff calling stations, but there are a lot of situations that you can pick
up the pot with a pure bluff. It's a pretty situational thing to explain, but you just have to pay attention. Don't check behind when you missed your draw only to lose to 2nd pair. If there's a 3way hand that goes check, check, check on the flop, then check on the turn pot it. Agression is good."

I agree 100% with this.

"Raising - You only mention the CO and button as spots to raise. Obviously, your pfr will be highest from those positions, but you can still be raising from other positions."

I think it depends on the table dynamics. With my strategy, I don't want anyone behind me in a raised pot, unless they will bluff at anything checked to them on the flop and will play big big pots postflop.
