Again, nothing could be further from the truth. When you bet flop and turn and get to river in a spot where all draws missed and your run of the mill 45/8 loose passive fish has called 2 streets, you have a very very very easy barrel with your own missed draws and other hands with little showdown value.

Just beacuse they play 45/11 or 65/12 and passive post, they dont call you down with Q hi or 3rd pair
Oink,

I'm so happy that you now play PLO while I learn to play PLO too. Do you still make videos for DC? Does DC still exist? I feel like a dinosaur.

so much good advice
highly exploitable tipps and tricks from guys who
1)either are still stuck at micros
2) moved up and haven´t played it in a while (prob the minority)

imo, once you figuered out that microstakes poker basically follows the same rules as higher stakes poker (surprise surprise), you might figuere out some +EV lines for general poker situations instead of blindly following some intuitive stuff which may or may not work

nutpeddling can´t be the way to go though...

Finally some solid advice from a "pro" who has been stuck at mid stakes for years and still acts like he´s god´s gift to poker in every micro thread. WP sir. I strongly suggest you make a prop bet, something like 100k hands at micros with a positive red line AND beating bb/100 win rate of a guy who just nut peddles. Oh wait, you´re all talk, right?

I"m confused. Are you trying to say that if you can beat microstakes poker then you're already good enough to beat midstakes poker? :O

Forgive me if this seems a blinding flash of the obvious, but here's a big key to crushing the micros:

STUDY

get a tool like poker pro odds oracle and learn how often villains have a flush when the flop is monotone, how often they have trips or better when the board is paired, how often a flush is good on a paired board etc. Pick starting hands you *think* are good hands and analyze how often they make a set, flush, straight, boat etc. by the flop, turn or river.

Get a database tool, save all your hands to a database and start studying what villains are calling with and raising with based on different betting actions and board textures.

The more you study the more you can recognize patterns, and the more you'll be able to assess the probability of a bet or raise making a worse hand call or better hand fold.

Read threads in this forum. Analyze the advice and figure out why you agree or disagree with it.

Lastly, play the lowest possible stakes while you're learning. You *will* make obvious, glaring mistakes. You *will* go on tilt. The lower the stakes, the cheaper the learning experience.

Hope this helped.

EDITED to say that at the microstakes your opponents will be making more mistakes than you are. Through study you can figure out what those mistakes are and how to exploit them. Examples:
- many of your opponents will limp-call with WAY too many starting hands
- many of your opponents chase draws they have nowhere near the pot odds for
- many of your opponents will have predictable tendencies, i.e. c-betting the flop and checking the turn *always* means they missed, or check-calling the flop and turn and donking the river *always* means they caught whatever they were chasing.

You will find many other such mistakes.

Lastly I will say that I'll bet no more than 20% of all villains at PLO25 and lower study the game at all, so the more you study the bigger an edge you'll have over them.

Hope this helped!

Crushing micro plo is easy, wait for the nuts and pot it. Seriusly people will pay you with ****, and make stupid bluffs easy to bluffcatch.

Be careful when going to a bluff against a bad player, don't try to make them fold strong hands, they won't. Just when they ranges are weak.

I am a nit myself and have been crushing every limit from plo2 to plo25. My only question is till what limit I will get away with mine just nitting, because my nsdw sucks haha

...that would be don't bluff lol
