QuickConcept #10: Top Set Flop Secrets

Alongside suitedness and connectedness, high card strength is the other determining characteristic of any starting hand. If you ever get the chance to look through a successful PLO player's database, the first thing to notice is how their most profitable starting hands are big cards. This is not a coincidence; big cards intrinsically possess more post-flop equity on average than little cards do. Holding overcards on low boards illustrates this concept. To explain a bit further, let's use a Hold'em analogy. When check-raising a T♣6♦2♥ board in NLHE, we would much rather have A♣Q♣ than a hand like 5♥5♦, because when someone decides to look us up with a pair, our equity is greater holding the live overcards and backdoor equity than with just the pocket pair. You can think about overcards the same way in PLO. KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING: Website: Facebook: Twitter: Google+: Pot Limit Omaha Strategy + Winning PLO Strategy Guide
