Blind stealing in PLO

I think raising is more valid to get position on blinds in a bloated pot, not stealing blinds.

for me whatever you choose to call 'stealing blinds' your ultimate goal is to win the hand by using your positional advantage rather than the cards you are holding. whether this is achieved pre or post flop i would say is irrelevant

I think Blopp's point is mostly right, in that late position opens with weaker hands in PLO do not serve the same purpose as they do in NL; in NL your main motivation is that quite often you'll pick up a small pot for free, whereas in PLO your main motivation is that you'll be able to play a raised pot in position, which will generally be a good source of value.
