It was said in the first part of this series that beginning hands in PLO are very close in value. Due to this, it's not rational to place a large part of your stack pre-flop unless you have an AAxx hand. This is due to the fact that anything can happen once the flop is turned.
If you have a good hand then it's normal for you to raise, but don't attempt a raise higher than 10% of your stack before the flop. The only exclusion would be having the said AAxx hand or a really steady KK/QQ hand (double suited or Broadway).
Whenever you acquire these hands pre-flop you can choose either to bet below 10% of your stack or gamble more than 50% of it.
Gambling Less Than 10%
Betting less than 10% of your own stack to the pot will ensure you won't lose a lot when the flop is not that good with your hands. For instance, you are playing in $100 buy-in PLO game and you have a hole card of AsKsJdQc which is a strong hand.
If the flop turned out to be A, J and Q which is not the same suited card as yours - you can bet $7 which is not a bad stack to loss if ever you gave up your hand.
And if the pot will be available to $7 with two callers, and you re-raise it to $38; then you call with your 3 pair and a gut-shot to split the pot. The point here is that, at that moment the pot will be as high as $200 compared to your bet of $69 when you make the call.
Just keep in mind that gambling 20%-40% of your chips before the flop is not a good idea.
Reasons in betting more than 50%
Once you acquire a tough hand AAxx or a particular strong KK/QQ hands, you may desire the pot heads-up (the reason of raising the pot) and you need to have adequate funds for 50% pot flop bet which can make the other players fold to your hand.
Since you have committed yourself to the pot even before the flop is turned then you need to bet on every flop. You don't have to worry about your hand because if you have an AA or KK, you still have some kind of high in that matter.
