PLO5 / Grade 6 / PLO5 population

Population defaults

'Population defaults' (five-card PLO, G6): Five-card PLO: prefer nutted redraws over pretty pairs; domination is louder.

Worked example

apply 'Population defaults' on double-suited Ace rundown vs pot bet. Write the board/doors, villain type, old line → new line, and why.

Common leak

nods through 'Population defaults', then defaults on double-suited Ace rundown vs pot bet the next time money goes in.

Drill

teach 'Population defaults' in 60 seconds with double-suited Ace rundown vs pot bet. Tag one live rep this week.

Practice habit

sticky-note the trigger for 'Population defaults' before your next five-card PLO session.

Drill

explain 'Population defaults' to your buddy without looking — if you stall, you don't own it yet for five-card PLO.

Remember

Pool first. Pretty later.
