I'm learning PLO. I'm playing on stars.es 100PL and live €5/5 here in Barcelona. It's a lot of fun, and the games certainly seem very beatable, and although higher stakes than you guys might advise, I'm keen to learn at a level where the money means something. I find myself in a lot of spots where I don't really know what to do, but I think I get the general idea of the game alright, and can apply a lot of holdem concepts to PLO reasonably well.
I'll post quite a few hands in PHA by means of learning and improving, and hopefully others also at a similar stage can benefit from the replies and we can all learn together.
The first two hands seem to highlight my uncertainly about playing weak KKxx oop. Do we peel this small 3bet? And in hand 2, what's our default from the sb here vs btn 2.5x?
