Advice required - All in preflop.

Hi All, 


I'm Marlon, a new PLO player. I was playing at a very loose table, the players at which were three betting me way too often, and taking away the pot from me post flop since I was afraid to bluff into multiple players. In the below hand I three bet into 4 players, and called an all-in from 2 players, when the cards were revealed I had 48% equity pre-flop against 2 players which was a great situation. I would appreciate your thoughts on this hand and any advice to improve my game. 


Thanks,

Marlon.

Hi.

Thanks for your advice. 


I was hoping to exploit their loose play in this way i.e re-raising pre flop, since I cannot exploit them post flop unless I flop a good hand/ draw, which does not happen often. I recon their weakest point is pre-flop, thus I took this line of re-raising pre-flop.Should they tighten up, I can then play smaller pots post flop. 


Could you recommend any other way to exploit them? 


Appreciate your advice. 


Thanks,

Marlon.

You need practise post flop game , loose players dont fold after they put something in pre flop also good players dont like fold pre if he had choose to raise and play a hand . i reccomend to move down on lower stakes . Its imoprtant to paly good post flop in plo ,you can barrel in nl all day and make profit but in plo you need to choose right flops to barrel with air , remeber plo is lot different game. With this hand is good to see cheap flop , if its d-suited you can raise or iso limpers for example 10QQJ would be much better hand to 3bet ,without big gaps you flop very good draws . Gl .

You have a pair of Tens, right?

Even against very loose 3b/4b range(s), you're not really pushing much of an equity edge, not to mention that you probably won't have any FE preflop against these guys.  There are certain spots where you can make this play, mostly when you have a good hand like AA, good KK, super premium ds hands like AKQJ$ds, although you can still just flat with some of these because you're closing the action.  At any rate, 4betting here with TT seems too loose, and it likely won't net us much profit.

Yes. I guess in the long term that was a bad move, and I shall look to play stronger hands. However they were raising every single hand, so at the time this hand seemed better than their range.
