Nice posting, it would be easier to refer to a hand if you numberate them So I refer to the time stamp from the post.

5:40

Preflop: Hero is BB with Kh, Kd, 9h, 5c

Not sure about this hand and if its posted at the right place. It says you are in the big blind and SB only checks preflop. You would have flopped top set and no BB arround and the flop. Next hand you are also in the BB???

6:11

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6s, 7h, 5h, 8h

Not sure if I like the call/limp here preflop. In O8 this kind of hand is normally junk and easily dominated. Lucky you split here at the end.
From sng view, you have 7BBs left and put 1/7 of your stack in the pot, isnt it better to raise here if you play the hand after all?

6:13

Preflop: Hero is SB with 2s, 9d, Kc, 7c

This hand is true junk and should be mucked preflop IMHO. There is no real low Hand you can make and it has no High potential, the desaster on the river is just the punishment for playing such hands

6:19

Preflop: Hero is SB with Kh, 4d, 9c, 10c

Again junk IMHO. No low possibility for a low hand, luckily you scoop the pot.

6:26

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9c, 6s, 8d, 3d

Seems I dont like your SB play or I dont understand it enough Easily dominated hand again. On the flop you have a though decision, a call would be a no go, so its push or fold, luckily you hit your fh.

6:31

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8c, Ac, 5c, 6s

Now you are chipleader and have the button, I think a raise here would be recommended to keep the pressure high. Also its bubble time and its good to add the blinds

6:32

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Kd, Kc, 3h, 7c

I would also raise this hand. KKxx is junk in O8, but I would keep pressure here and try to steal blinds.

6:33

Preflop: Hero is BB with Ad, 9h, 2d, 7d

Lucky outcome here. Often you get quartered with such constallations.

6:33

Preflop: Hero is SB with 10h, 8d, 6s, 4s

Again you limp the SB. Why?

Overall solid play. Only critisim I have is you limp in SB to often with junk. But its O8 and you often get away with it.

stupid rule that I cant post images under 10 posts, grrr

Thanks for the comments. The thinking behind my blind play is that a good hand is rarely a 75-25 favorite over a mediocre hand in PLO8, therefore the blinds are a good opportunity to mix up your play and loosen your image. I believe simulation will show I'm usually getting the pot odds to continue. This needs to go hand in hand with a hit-it-or-quit-it philosophy on the flop.
