Half pot with entire range. Just know that players are bluff raising paired flops to preflop raisers cbets. Sometimes they have it though, so it's just kinda a crap shoot. Look at their f2cbet and raise cbet numbers to help with the decision on how to play turns. I think you have to call the raise and make them either bluff again on the turn or give it up. Stack sizes are a factor in whether to commit to the hand as well.
FWIW, JJ is far more likely to hit villain than 337 for example, so that too should factor into how far you want to go with the hand.
Lastly have rundowns in your 3 bet range so occasionally you hit that flop with trips too.
Holdem manager and pt4 are the most popular. I think there may be a free one too. I would just google each and see which you prefer. I am on a site that doesn't support either so I just have to guesstimate stats. It sucks in a way, but no one gets to use anything so we are all in the same boat.
So today I'm down 20 buyins incredibly I got it in vs fish with AA double suited with decent other cards, QX, JX, KX etc managed to lose all 20 buyins to random hands hitting two pair, straights, etc.
4 Bet preflop and shoved..
Am I overplaying these hands? Is it just variance ? What should I be doing here? Keeping the pot small and trying to hit top set?
On most boards I had the nut flush draw too and I still missed..
Most of them had nothing hands like 72J4, 2438, QQQQs, 888A, etc
Maybe post the hands you doubt about in the checkup or a few separate threads, but from the description it looks more like variance, which doesn't mean you needn't improve - everyone does.
How to behave with a bare nut flush draw depends on the stack-to-pot ratio, if it's about <2 (4-bet pots) stacking off is automatic; if it's medium (~4, 3-bet pots) or high, then opps' actions should be considered - if someone is holding a set, our equity falls below 30%.
How often do you find just gamblers in PLO? Those who are tired of casino and want to try their luck in PLO. Sometimes you see some really weird PF all-ins with marginal eye-candy hands and i wonder if i'm playing the wrong game (NLHE). I mean it's possible to have a huge heater in omaha while playing bad. In NLHE it's so easy to lose money, omaha is different game imo, if variance is on your side.

If you hang around this forum long enough, a discussion about how long someone can run bad will come up. Eg, eskimo-sickness and mig come to mind for being way under ev for a long time, so it is possible for a bunch of fish to be having heaters while you are just sputtering along for a ****load of hands.
Okay seems logical. Very high variance game. I had a heater in my first month and probably thought i knew something about the game.
And lol, i enjoy omaha for gambling purposes :P
Love to get the big stacks in vs whale. Busting my rolls again by playing this game. A lot below EV this month. But what can you do when you have 3 maniac whales in a table and stacks are huge, just have to gamble (with big hands).
idk what to think...I wish I never started playing plo. It's addicting as hell and makes nlhe so fkn boring. It's like watching paint dry. I feel like i've turned into an action junkie/ degen. Unreal.
I'm totally more gamble prone (but thats the nature of plo, right?)... I keep saying **** like "this can't be too bad", "I know where the nuts are" or "I have blockers".
Honestly, I feel like i'm going to be in a world of hurt playing around with this game..
My own rate in Rush 25 is 0.4 FTP/hand, equivalent to 0.22 VPP/hand, as I'm trying to be LAG there - with VPIP=25, PFR = 18 I'm in the looser half of regs - Rush is predictably very nit-infested, with 1.5 fishes per table, many of them being shortstacked; I obviously have no Zoom experience but see no reason why it could play way looser. The average rate among regs in my DB is 0.35 FTP/hand, which corresponds to 0.19 VPP/hand.
Is it reasonable to believe I need to move up as the rake is killing me, or do I simply need to plug summore leaks and grind it out?
Probably a little of both. Don't know your stats, but it's usually fine to play fit or fold at these stakes and just value bet the crap out of your nut or near nut hands. Don't really get too bluff happy especially on monochrome boards as any 7 hi flush is calling to the river.
Nutpeddle for the most part.
Rake is taking at least 18BB/100 and probably more, but there are people who are beating it and moving up, so it's doable.
with antes yes, without antes i wouldn't think so....or at the very least it depends on the players, it it's deep stacked with loose-aggressive players there will be a lot of 3- and 4-betting so you end up paying slightly more rake.
