Short-stacked PLO play requires a disciplined, equity-driven approach that prioritizes strong starting hands and aggressive preflop play. With limited room for postflop maneuvering, focusing on hands that perform well in all-in situations is crucial. Position becomes even more valuable, as acting last allows for better decision-making and pot control. Since fold equity diminishes with shorter stacks, committing chips should be based on high-equity holdings rather than speculative hands.
