You can't just peddle nuts moving up

...in PLO. When I first got started, that's all I had to do, as this was a winning strategy at the lower limits. But at 1-2 and 2-4, unless you pick your games well, nut peddling will just not do. You can't only raise with aces and you can't only raise when you have the nuts, and I learned this the hard way. Is it a translation from hold 'em that people just can't let AAxx go?

One of my favorite things about PLO is that if you raise the pot preflop and get re-popped, predictable opponents will almost always have AAxx, at least in my experience. While it may be a decent sum to call the reraise, if I have enough left in my stack (the call of the reraise is a small % of your stack), I will take a flop to see if I can bust the likely aces. When they bet out or bet pot when checked to and you flopped a monster or monster draw and you let them know, for some reason they can't let it go (you have to know your opponent here as smart ones will let it go when they don't have the odds to call). Don't quote me on this strategy or anything, but the general idea I'm expressing is that you can't play ABC poker here, you have to think.

By all means I'm still an amateur PLO player but I know I have the ability to learn to think and learn from mistakes, and I hope I can keep improving. I still make idiotic mistakes, and I pay for it, in $. But that's the price of learning.

I wish they had this game in the US as there is a lot of action and I think gamblers would love it.
