Postflop
Overpair in PLO
A pocket pair higher than any board card — much weaker in PLO than Hold'em because opponents outdraw them so often.
What it means at the table
An overpair is a pocket pair higher than the board, but in PLO it is still usually just one pair.
Why it matters
Four-card hands create wraps, two pair, sets, and flush draws so often that bare overpairs shrink quickly after the flop.
Decision checkpoint

Table question
Is this just one pair on a board that smashes wraps, sets, and two pair?
Rule of thumb
Bare overpairs are usually pot-control hands unless SPR is low or backup equity is strong.
Table example
A-A-7-2 on T-8-5 is ahead of many hands now, but J-9-8-7 has strong straight and pair equity.
Leak to avoid
Stacking off with bare aces because they were premium preflop, even when the flop smashes callers.
