But shoving the hand openly with a smaller stack and small blinds is up for debate. I like the QJT9 move but its in the wrong hand.

As we all know, in PLO the winning hands run bigger so the high suited connecting cards are really, really good and have good equity even against AAxx, KKxx and QQxx hands. Personally, I like to apply pressure on the flop so I don't like jamming preflop vs. a likely AAxx hand, but QJT9 is very much a premium hand.<br /><br />-PL QJT9ds ranks that highly because it makes so many nut straights and can also make high (non-nut) flushes, and can back into top two pair.

Good to know, PL. I must admit that my depth of knowledge in PLO hand rankings is a bit loose. Top 10 is still a bit surprising though. Really? Good to know, PL.
