Preflop
Classic preflop all-in matchups and cooler scenarios.
The mirror match. Both players hold the best possible PLO starting hand structure. Suit matchups determine the edge.
Premium AAxx double-suited against a connected mid-card rundown. The classic PLO cooler — aces are never as far ahead as you think.
Offsuit aces with no coordination vs. a double-suited broadway hand. Shows how much raw aces lose without suitedness or connectivity.
Kings with side cards against a low connected rundown. The rundown has more straight outs than you'd expect.
High coordinated cards against a medium-rank rundown. Both hands are playable — who has the edge?
QQ with minimal coordination vs. a double-suited connector. A common preflop 3-bet pot situation.
Premium aces face a coordinated KKQQ double-paired hand. Pair domination is real, but the kings still carry board coverage.
A solid but imperfect AAxx hand faces a double-suited JT98 rundown. The suitedness gap keeps the race close.
KKJT double-suited battles AQJT double-suited. High-card blockers and straight coverage make the edge less obvious.
7654 double-suited faces T987 double-suited. Both hands are connected, but rank height changes domination risk.
A rainbow AAxx hand faces a connected rundown. The pair is premium, but the missing suits make the hand less resilient.
Postflop
Flop and turn scenarios featuring sets, wraps, flush draws, and combo draws.
Top set vs. middle set on a flushing, connected flop. Even with the best made hand, equity is rarely 100% in PLO.
A 20-out wrap draw against an overpair on a medium-connected flop. The classic 'am I a favorite or an underdog?' question.
Nut flush draw with a gutshot vs. top set on a two-tone flop. How much equity does the draw actually have?
A nut flush draw plus a gutshot to a higher straight against a flopped straight. The combo draw has more equity than most players expect.
Top set facing a massive wrap after a coordinated turn card. With only one card to come, who is ahead?
The nuts on the turn vs. the nut flush draw. One card to come — is it a cooler or a sweat?
Top two pair on a two-tone flop against a hand with both straight and flush outs. How vulnerable is two pair?
A made flush on a monotone flop vs. top set holding the nut-flush blocker. Can the set catch up?
Top set runs into a massive combo draw on a two-tone connected flop. The made hand is strong, but the draw can be the equity favorite.
Bottom set faces a connected rundown draw on a coordinated flop. The made hand is ahead, but many runouts are uncomfortable.
Aces with the nut flush draw face a big wrap on a low connected flop. Extra redraws change the overpair story.
The current nut straight faces top set with a flush draw. The nuts are real, but the redraws can make the straight an equity underdog.
Top two pair meets a broadway wrap on a connected flop. Some straight outs are live, but redraw dynamics complicate everything.
Middle set faces a nut flush draw with straight backup. The made hand is strong, but the draw can have the better equity share.
The nut flush arrives on the turn, but top set can still boat up. One card remains and the decision becomes exact.
A turn spot where top two pair also blocks the most obvious straight. One card remains, so blockers and equity both matter.
Multiway
Three-player pots where equity distribution gets interesting.
A three-way preflop all-in. Premium aces, a mid rundown, and a double-suited connector package. How does equity get split three ways?
Three players see a flop that connects with everyone. Top set, a flopped straight, and the nut flush draw — the ultimate PLO scenario.
The premium pair war with a rundown lurking. How much does the third player steal from the top pair's equity?
Double-suited aces face two connected double-suited rundowns. The favorite must fade two hands with overlapping board coverage.
Top set faces a made straight with nut-flush backup, plus a second player who shares that straight but has no redraws. Each opponent needs a different slice of the runout tree.
The current nut straight is up against a set and a higher wrap redraw. The board can change leaders fast.
Four strong preflop hands collide: aces, queens, broadways, and a rundown. The equity spread gets surprisingly flat.
