Auto Raise Hands in PLO?

Position is very important, deep stacked its always an error to raise the SB.

I like raising to thin the field,
so I raise bad hands not good ones.
For example I wouldnt raise A678 with a suited A because I dont want people to fold KQJ high flush draws preflop,
but I raise 5678 to get higher flush draws and wraps to fold.
Low wraps are very playable short handed, but death with lots of limpers.

These statements are all based on some big assumptions and some specious reasoning. For instance, not raising a suited ace because you want people to play K high flush draw hands?
Have you even played PLO before? I hope I am being leveled here, and if I am, its pretty funny.

Also, LOL at not raising good hands because you don't want to thin the field.

I raise very good hands in position,
but good hands in medium position I just try to see a flop.

Bad but playable hands in medium position play much better with a raise, you can turn bad position into good, and its very deceptive, if you get heads up people can put you on AA and call you down with 2 pair.

Basically if you are going to play bad hands its better to raise with them.

This is not even close to being true. In my 1-2 6-Max career with 4 or more players, my PFR from the small blind is 10.7%, so I set up a filter for just those hands that I raised/re-raised from the small blind:



Almost 25% of my total profit from this period comes from these hands. Statistical anomaly? Sure. Always an error? No way.
