It really just depends how well the online player adapts to the live game. If the online player is really good at beating other competent opponents but leaks money against the spots due to running too many bluffs or w/e then that player will have a tough time adjusting since a standard live $1/$2 table has like 6-7 spots and where most pots go multiway as opposed to heads up online. Then there's the issue of giving off live tells since clicking buttons behind a computer is much different than physically putting money in the pot against V who is just a few feet away or less.

If you're a good player you'll be able to adjust. If you're not you won't. Pretty simple.

10-15bb/hr is attainable.

Not as long as I keep my side hustle on Fremont st letting tourists kick me in the groin for 20$ a pop.

ive seen the guys with those signs, but never actually seen anyone take them up on it. does it actually happen? how does that work??

That's good to hear. Glad the ball kicking economy is booming again.

Hi
Just a quick question about the rake at the only casino in town. The rake is $5 hourly in addition to 10% capped at $10 per pot. Is this rake even beatable? Table is 10 max 1/2 NLHE.

QRM, you in Oz? That rake is horribad, but the players in Australia are bad enough that a decent player can beat it. As to whether you can at your current skill level, I obv have no idea.

Yes, Australian casinos are the worst.

I hear there are no tips in Australia though.

$20 is quite expensive. 2 kicks for $30?

Star? Def beatable. 1/2 play there is lol bad

Correct. Banned by the govt to prevent collusion

Can tip bar and wait staff but not gaming staff

Lol, I originally read "lick".

$1270 over 137 hours for $9.27/h and break even for 85 hours. What's a good sample size for live 1/2? I know I'm not even close.

How does 1/2 PLO compare to 1/2 NL live?

I've heard the PLO games are insanely soft and playing nitty will crush. True? Might try one out tomorrow if it's running.

I assume BRM should be double for PLO or does that not apply to LLS games?

Sample size way too small. Easy to go on a heater/downswing for 100 hours.
I think a minimum is 500 hours before any statistics start becoming meaningful. (Scroll back, I posted some graphs that show the volatility in calculated winrate over a moving 100 hour window from my 3000 hour log.)


SUUUPER soft. But still super big.

A lot of hold'em players don't understand the relative hand strengths in PLO and commit way too much with trash like bottom 2-pair and middle set. A good number misread the board and their hand. Some fold winners at showdown, others simply commit with a single card flush or think they have a boat on a double paired board.

If you're kind of nitty and pick your spots for aggression well you can crush. Although you will occasionally lose some pretty big pots getting out-drawn, or if you commit with the second or third nuts against a drooler.

The single best thing about playing PLO with these kinds of players is what a dealer friend of mine calls "pot face". It's when a new player declares "POT", only to be told some number 3-4 times larger than they thought it would be. The look when they realize that the bet is now $50, or $200, or $780 is just priceless.

My first 100 hours of NLHE after playing LHE for years. Made the switch due to a relocation and my new local casino having no LHE games. Any thoughts? Anything meaningful that I can take from this? Thanks in advance.

Nah man, 100 hours is just not enough time to fairly judge. Just keep studying, reading, and playing. Always look for small edges to improve your game. Be objective in analyzing your game.

man... downswings/tilt/breakeven stretches really kill your hourly....

now every time i have a winning session or start doing well, my hourly goes up by like 30 cents lol

Im a terrible at Imageshack.

Thank you Doughboy,this is for this year mostly 1-2 spread,with some 1-2 NL,2-3 spread and 2-5 mixed in.

if my hourly only consisted of my A game, i'd be winning at 30BB/hr !
