as a general rule the lower the stakes the tighter preflop stats you should have, I'd say good stats to solidly beat 50plo would be something like 18-24/16-20 with like a 5-7% 3bet, 20/18/6 seems pretty decent.

The reason I think tighter preflop play is essential at the lower stakes is because people's understanding of ranges/relevant hand values is minimal to non existent, so a really easy and simple way to exploit this to have stronger hands all the time - PLO vs weak players is all about BIG CARDs.

as you move up stakes you have to be loser/more aggressive because you run into better players and more aggressive action (even the weak players understanding of equities tends to be higher) so you can get seriously run over playing too tight + because people on the whole play loser you can open your ranges up more profitably in certain spots, looking to exploit over/under adjustments.

40 vpip too high for 50plo IMO get it to somewhere like 22% - I'd imagine you're main leaks are coming from the blinds with this kind of vpip, a good thing I get some of my horses to do is to write down every hand they open UTG and defend from the SB/BB therefore no excuse for tardy peels/opens.

PTR grader is wrong dont be less agressive pre flop, just play less hands therefore you'll have stronger ranges and be playing more aggressive with better hands, not sure what to make of river aggression, dont be bluffing too much at this stake people have an uncanny desire to call a lot of the time.

The money at these stakes comes from GOOD value bets and picking the spazzy bluffs off. nothing else fancy required.
