F1tz breaks down an unintuitive preflop strategy in 5-Card PLO: taking a more aggressive action with less-connected hands than other hands we flat-call, in order to play heads up.
Answer: 40%
Despite being in position, most of our continues want to raise. We're even in polarity, but have a strong equity disadvantage. Calling makes life easy on their overpairs, while raising threatens hands worse than trips to play for stacks and folds out overcards.
JNandez's new book breaks PLO into 100 sections, each built around one strategic concept.
Each section explains why the concept matters, then tests it with quizzes that put different holdings into one scenario, building a feel for ranges instead of memorizing single-hand rules.

Answer: ~70%
Despite a 10% equity disadvantage, we lead nearly three quarters of our range. We have carved out a polarity lead, and leading this often captures the biggest pot share.
The remaining ~30% of our range checks, and 28% of those hands raise against a c-bet.
5-Card PLO
Preflop: We open from EP, BTN 3-bets, we call.
Flop: Our turn to act.
How often do we lead here?
Lokfable goes into fighting back when facing delayed c-bets and shows how even in spots where we stab very wide against a check and are capped, we still find a lot of small raises.
After check-calling the flop and turn, we need to block sets more than trips to call Button's river bet. Think about what your opponent's value range is, and what cards you need to block it.
Answer: KQJT.
KK99 check-calls: it unblocks all the bluffs and blocks the hands it most wants to stack off against.
KJT9 leads: top two pair typically wants to bet here, especially with extra equity.
KQJT check-raises: it wants a big pot but is fine letting a card come off.
Preflop: EP opens, we 3-bet from the SB, EP calls.
Flop: We check, EP bets half pot.
Which combo do we check-raise here?
