In multi-way PLO pots, strategic considerations revolve around hand strength, position, equity distribution, and future street playability. Since equities run closer in Omaha, absolute hand strength is less important than relative strength against multiple opponents. Position is crucial for extracting value and controlling pot size, as betting in early position can lead to uncomfortable spots when multiple players remain. The presence of multiple opponents increases the likelihood of strong hands and draws, making it essential to favor hands with nut potential and redraws.

In multi-way PLO pots, as you correctly pointed out, understanding the hierarchy of hand strengths is crucial due to equities running closer together compared to Hold'em. This means that you need to focus on playing hands that have good potential for the nuts or redraws to the nuts in order to avoid being drawn out on by other players in the pot. Position becomes even more critical in multi-way pots as it allows you to control the size of the pot and make more informed decisions based on the actions of your opponents.
When playing in multi-way pots, it's also important to pay attention to the equity distribution among the other players. This can help you make better decisions about whether to continue in the hand or fold based on the likelihood that one or more of your opponents has a stronger hand. Moreover, keeping an eye on your future street playability is essential in these situations. Planning ahead and considering how your hand might develop on later streets can help you make more profitable decisions in multi-way pots.
