Preflop
Starting hands with pairs Group 1: JJxxx, QQxxx, KKxxx, AAxxx – are all reasonable starting pairs Group 2: 88xxx, 99xxx, TTxxx – can be considered if combined with some wrap/flush potential Group 3: 77xxx, 66xxx, 55xxx, 44xxx, 33xxx, 22xxx – are too poor to consider playing.
Starting hands with suits Group 1: AdXdAsXsX, AdXdXXX – single and double suits to the ace Group 2: AdXdXdXX, KdXdXXX – single suit to the ace with 3 cards of a suit, and single suit to the king Group 3: QdXdXXX and lower – are essentially poor flush hands
Starting hands with wraps Group 1: 6789T, 6789A, 789TJ, 789TA, 89TJx (X being A,K,Q,6), 9TJQx (X being A,K,7), TJQKA Group 2: 56789, 6789x, 789Tx, Or 5 in a row with a single gap, Or 4 in a row with a single gap and no card lower than a seven. Group 3: 4567x or lower, Any wrap with 2 gaps or more – vulnerable wraps that should be avoided as a general rule.
Combo Hands Really need to use the above hands and you are looking for suited/wrapping cards also
If you have a hand with two group 1s, or a group 1 and a group 2, then you should always raise preflop.
Post Flop I think you are on the right track -- just would add more logic around # of players who saw the flop (adjust some of the things you mention based on this) Position -- I tend to bluff more from the BTN post flop if there is no action coming to me
You have to avoid Passive play -- being the aggressor is super important and +ev
The Do's and Don't of 4-Bet Bluffing in PLO
You DO want a hand that contains an ace (in order to block AAxx hands). You DO want a hand with great playability (in case your opponent calls). You DON'T want a hand that contains a king (because you want your opponent to have KKxx, which he should fold).
For example, a hand like A♠ Q♣ J♠ 8♣ is a super effective 4-bet bluff. It blocks AAxx, doesn't block KKxx, and will perform very well on the flop with a low stack-to-pot ratio.
