Strong starting hands in PLO are those that are well-connected, double-suited, and contain high-card strength. Hands with four coordinated cards, such as double-suited high pairs with strong side cards or connected Broadway cards, have higher playability and potential for nut hands. Suited aces increase the chances of making the nut flush, while connected cards improve the ability to hit strong straights. Hands that avoid unnecessary gaps and have multiple ways to improve post-flop are generally the most profitable.

Great explanation! In Pot-Limit Omaha, starting with hands that have these qualities increases the likelihood of developing powerful post-flop holdings and exploiting opponents. By prioritizing hands with strong connectivity, double-suitedness, and high-card strength, players set themselves up for success in both drawing to the nuts and dominating opponents. Additionally, these hands often have equity against a wide range of opponents' hands, allowing players to confidently play aggressively and capitalize on their opponents' mistakes. By understanding and strategically selecting these strong starting hands, players can improve their PLO game and maximize their profitability at the tables.
