Since you bumped this. I found that LFTV's videos on pokersavvy were the best introduction to plo. At least a year and a half ago. I'd actually recommend gakn & verneers series on cardrunners now. i think the games have changed/evolved & that video accounts for the adjustments you need to make.

Hi guys!

Planning on grinding up a bankroll by playing PLO Sit&Gos/Mtts. I will play the 18mans turbos on stars (better sites to play maybe?). I have roughly two days where I can put in some hours/volume, besides working/studying. And a 200$ starting roll.

Im very new too PLO and would like to get links to videos/articles about the game. And should I register at any coachingsite? Deucescracked etc... How many tables should I play too start with? 1-2? Im also wondering how the skill level is, is it high or is it much softer than NL Holdem? Any other input is very much appreciated!

Regards

from whatever i have played the plo mtt's (up to ~$20), they are really soft, at least on pokerstars.
deucescracked and cardrunners both have good material, hard to say which one is better...
since you are norwegian you can play any site.
i recommend you look around different networks, how their software is, what kinda deals they have etc.

Yea, softness is a good reason to play PLO MTTs, but they're also really swingy due to equities running so close between starting hands.

Cash is def where the real money is, try it out while ur playing the MTTs/SNGs. 1 MTT table + 2-4 cash tables is pretty optimal IMO.

Any good discussion on the redline for plo anywhere?

[GoGetaRealJob]

Good stuff in this one, at least, u gotto read most of the convos to keep up though.

I guess I can just give you cliffs:

-at the end of the day, only the green line matters
-optimal redline/blue line ratio is determined by your opponents and stakes
-for micro stakes, it's very difficult - and most likely not optimal - to maintain a positive red line.

Hey Guys,
where should I play PLO10? A Site with a good rakeback deal and low rake would be nice. Any recomendations? Thanks

btw. someone should make this thread sticky...

[napsus]

where do you live?
and how much do you play?
i'd recommend entraction because with the VIP program + rake races you can achieve good return %....plus the software is good, support is good and traffic up to 100plo is good.
but they have some limitations depending where you live.
other ones are ipoker, ongame, microgaming.

[napsus]

stikckying this for now, let's see how it works and decide if something needs to be changed.
cheers

If you can get a good rakeback deal I'd recommend Ipoker. I think theres a subforum on 2+2.

Yes of course I agree all the matters I the green line.But i've played ~65k hands of plo 100 this month and I 'm down 7k in redline.
