I come across these kind of situation quite often recently on gg.
A lot of players would mini-3bet and call the 4bet 100% and play a 2-3 spr hu or multiway pot.
The range I saw in show down are :any hand having a pair, all of double suited hands,
all kinds of rundowns.
Population cold call in 3bet -4bet pots even more often than single raised hu pot ,having the opportunity to crack aces, and it can easily go multiway.
For this hand, having an spr about 2, potting and denying equity is very profitable here.
In reality ,the bottom of peoples calling range here will be a pair and gut shot straight draw, which has 40% equity ,most of the time ,we'are agains sets two pair and wraps.
The players can play perfect against us.
Is there anyway to exploit this strategy? Since if we don't flop enough equity we are leaking chips by 4betting and folding flops. If we do have a hand that can pot and stack off, the opponent still can play perfect against us.

I usually follow the rule of thumb that if I have direct straight draw or flushy draw.
I call ,without these ,fold against any reasonable opponent.
However this strategy also cost me thousands of BBs lately because opponent 99% have top set, and I had just a bare draw with one additional out.
If the opponent folds everytime in this set up situation, and we stack off everytime, they are just printing against us. The only way to still call with middle sets and counter this is to raise a lot of combodraw/semibluffs otf to push opponent away when they have middle set no backup, which might be easily picked off .
And most regs are not really aggro with combo draws even warp+straightdraw+pair.
If that is the case with a specific opponent , I would lean more towards folding .
I feel a lot of very sizing defined ranges. A lot of opponent would extract the Top of their range especially sets w/ or w/o backup ones as full pot bet sizing on dynamic boards (or maybe any board) for max value or full protection. I haven't seen balance here yet .Maybe max exploit is the way to go.
Sometimes just losing too much in short period and it's hard to tell if it's bad play or variance, makes it harder to make adjustments.

I play the micros ,and actually, FTGU PLO is exactly where I spends my study time. And I believe you should go through all the preflop parts.Especially the multiway part.
It's a very helpful course. Right after watching the preflop part, I lowered my RFI to around 20. sounds like a nit?
In the micros ,from my database ,a staggering 33% of the hands that went to flop are multiway pots. Preflop hand selection has great impact on postflop plays in a stack off light environment. Whenever I hit flop ,it's usually big and often dominating. when I'm behind ,I can still have backups so never hopeless.
Just sticking to Robust equity,nut potential, yes again,tight like a nit no need to be fancy in the micros,my winrate went up a lot thanks to the course.

Around 22:00, the opponent(reg tag)goes all in on the turn and you say he mostly has a set, and it doesn't make any sense because he is just too value heavy we can just fold our weak hands.
How do we adjust to that? Should we bet bigger on the turn since his calling range is weak? And should we call Aq there?

Actually, it does. If you save the chest and open them and play jackpot with starcoins in the chest once the jackpot total bonus is over 130M, it is +ev than cash.

how about a small three-bet this hand pre and get it in whenever hit a set? because in this way the spr would be around one and we can get value from hands like two pair.
Very good instructive video even after 5 years.
These are some of the takeaway I think I had after watching,I'm too lazy to write it down so I'll just put it here.
1,In low spr situations,(3bet/4bet pots). It's not sure to be correct to even have a bet folding range since players pick up equity so easily. So the usual mistake of potting bare aces and hope for the best are even more costly.
2,Be careful of choosing raise bluff hands otf,since we don't have that many bluffs (maybe raising small is a thing, since the snap fold range of the opponent can still have equity against us.)
3,Quick check can be a timing tell for players just looked at their hand and decide to c/f.Range check usually take a bit more time.
4,t-j high flushes are not 2 street value hands in 5 card plo. low flushes not even value hands.(agains reasonable opp) Nut flush and 2nd nf are still potting otr in hu pot.
In 6-max , what to do with 2nd and 3rd nut flushes?
5, Should kings really slow play on kq2 board? Since we don't block any ace jack ten or queen. There are lots of weaker fd+sd or wraps that can call a bet ,against a good opponent that has lots of medium strength hand in their checking range ,maybe a bet.
