Preflop
Double-Suited in PLO
A starting hand with two separate pairs of suited cards, giving you two independent flush draws and significantly more equity.
What it means at the table
A double-suited hand has two separate suited pairs, giving it two different flush-draw engines.
Why it matters
Double-suited hands realize equity better because they can continue on more boards and make more nut or near-nut draws.

Table question
Are the suits attached to high/nut cards, or just decoration on a weak shape?
Rule of thumb
Double-suited is a multiplier, not a rescue plan for disconnected trash.
Table example
A♠ K♠ Q♥ J♥ has spade and heart plans plus broadway connectivity, which is much stronger than the same ranks rainbow.
Leak to avoid
Overvaluing weak double-suited trash; suits help most when the ranks are also connected and nutted.
