Beni Hausmann, a PLO Mastermind coach, analyzes four instructive six-card PLO hands to demonstrate key strategic concepts. He explains why triple-suited connected hands perform well against premium starting hands like aces, the importance of position in six-card PLO, and when to turn made hands into bluffs. The video provides insights into equity distribution and decision-making specific to this poker variant.

In six-card PLO, equity runs thin between hands (even premium aces rarely exceed 60% equity). Position is extremely valuable due to the game's dynamic nature. Triple-suited connected hands often perform better than traditional premium hands like pocket aces. Protection is less important in multi-way pots than in other poker variants.

Six-Card PLO Strategy:

  • Triple-suited connected hands can be 60% favorites against pocket aces
  • In six-card PLO, you generally want to go post-flop as often as possible
  • Position is crucial - reduce SPR when playing out of position
  • Made hands can become semi-bluffs on dynamic boards
  • Pocket aces need strong side cards to perform well
  • Multi-way pots require extremely nutted hands to build big pots
  • Equity distribution is flatter, increasing the importance of post-flop play
