PLO opening range matrix

Compare PLO opening tendencies by position, stack depth, and hand class.

Use the matrix to see how common hand classes move across early, middle, and late position as the stack gets shorter or deeper. The cash and tournament filters keep the read practical so you can study the same shape under the right conditions.

Interactive matrix

Pick a hand class, then read the seats and stack depths that lift or shrink the open.

The matrix is designed for quick study. Select a common PLO hand class, switch between cash and tournament filters, then click any seat or stack-depth header to spotlight the exact spot you want to review.

Why the open moves

Position and stack depth push the same hand in different directions.

Use these notes to understand why one class jumps from fold to mix in late position, or why a hand that looks playable at 200BB can shrink once the stack gets shallower.

Position

Later seats realize more of the hand's equity.

Early position has more action behind it, so the matrix keeps the opening pool tighter. Middle and late seats can open more hands because they face fewer squeezes and get more turns to realize redraws.

Stack depth

Deeper stacks reward hidden nut potential.

Hands with strong connectivity, redraws, and suit coverage gain value when the pot can grow. Shallow stacks compress that value and push borderline shapes toward mix or fold.

Context

Cash and tournament filters trim different edges.

Cash games usually reward depth and postflop playability, while tournaments reduce the room for speculative hands. The filter keeps the matrix honest about how the same class shifts.
