Default Re: Auto Raise Hands in PLO?

No offense but the title sounds very "Help me program my bot?"-ish.
Why would you want to auto do anything in a thinking game?

Because I'm trying to program my bot.


Seriousy though, I think one of the biggest obstacles a NLHE player faces when jumping to PLO is the equity matchups. In NLHE, we're happy to be pounding the pot with AA since it is crushing a smaller pair.

In PLO one hand is never that far ahead of another Pre-Flop, and when you consider re-draws and such, things seem to change much faster on streets with PLO than NLHE.

My post was just a question where I'm trying to figure out a basic part of why we raise in PLO BESIDES PF equity, since there usually isn't that much difference most of the time. In getting some responses, I could see what types of hands they were looking to get money in the pot with, and then base my theory on why that was.

The 2 concepts I seemed to have picked up so far is that PLO seems to be more of a long ball game. I've also noticed how much more important position can be here as well, since things can change so fast.

Again, I know I've got a lot to learn, I'm just trying to take maybe a concept a week and really break it down and build on that with each week and lesson I learn.

Thanks again for everybody's input. I really appreciate the help!

there are two ways to avoid predictability. one is to play the same hand a lot of different ways. two is to play a lot of different hands the same way.
