I assume you’re filming your hole cards at the table? If the video is just hole cards and chips being tossed in that’s good. Then overlay the flop and villain cards.

Nice comeback.

Me too…

Check out

“Donkfishpoker” he seems to do some good basic plo vlogs.

Yeah he’s got good stuff. Tonight I was filming a hand (no faces) and a player called me out and I had to stop. :/

Yeah pretty much this. Thanks! Will scout out editors to see what’s affordable. I heard $20-$30 an hour maybe $100 per vlog. Will see.

Yes I enjoy his, also ZefaPoker, I like his humor.

Zefa is my old pal from my Vegas trip who hosted me at his place. Very nice dude. I remember he even let me borrow his car to drive to the strip a few times. I am glad I got to see him battle Phil Galfond HU for rollz (lol no) and win!

Last night was another coasting session without too any hard decisions. Since I took the photos figured I may as well use them:

First hand of note dealt in the 2/2 plo5 game:



on the (sorta mandatory) $5 button straddle.

Flop is 7-9-Tdsc giving me the nuts with a couple backdoors and a higher straight draw. Action V bets into the field, three callers and I make it $120, action all in for less, and three callers.

Turn: 5h, completing the rainbow (I can taste it). Checks to me and I go all in for my last $330. Only one caller.

River: 9, pairing the board. Checks through as I am all in and we both turn over J8 (she had no redraw) for the straight, and action V turns over TT for tens full. I lose $15.

Then I move to the must move and add on $500 because the game is playing deeper. I am in the blind SB $15 (whole table is doing it) and there is an EP open to $55, I call with:



and we go multiway to 2-6-7cc. I have nut wrap and middle set. Original raiser bets $150, action V (from TT hand earlier) all in for less, I re-pot $720 or so, folds and we are HU with action to runout: T-K. I scoop with the nut straight. At this point action complaints about me taking images of the board and I stop.

I get AATT8 and iso a fish, flop T-8-3, pot, turn Kc giving me bdnfd, pot, he's all in and I scoop on 2, 3 runouts (we run it twice).

Leave for big o since fish leaves and action busted and game is no good - everyone there is locked up and the only spot is rebuying for just $300. We are playing 10/20 limit and I am dealt:



and make it $20. Sad. Just $20 over a bunch of $10 limps. What a dreadful game. They all fold.

Kidding, they all call of course. Flop is Q-7-6r and it checks through. Turn: 5d giving me bdnfd and second nut low, checks to btn who bets $20, three callers. River: 8, I still have just second nut low. BTN bets $20, one caller and here I was torn between calling and folding. I have two AA blocking A2 but people love playing A2 hands and I may not be getting any of this pot. My high (AA) is assuredly no good. I reluctantly fold getting a good price (10:1) and am show the bad news: 23 and a straight. Never folding in 10/20 again! It's not like the 2/2 game.

I played a little hold 'em (uneventful) and left up $1100 after a few hours:

Let me know if you like me incorporating the hand photos into the blog.

Lol ChristIsLord for the win. He deals at the Wynn right? I’m wondering if he’s dealt to me in the $1/2(5).

Cards and chip stack pics add some fun. I had googled how to poker vlog and sounds like you’re technically supposed to get permission to be able to film anything if peoples faces are captured, or be discreet about it. Idk how you’d be discreet with your phone/camera on the felt lol.

Yeah that's him. Was that always his screen name or was that just a needle to Galfond? I think it's friggin hilarious personally. Reminds me of Phil's OMGClayAiken.

I told action I wasn't filming faces but I would stop if people wanted and some rock said he didn't want me to film anymore so I stopped.

I don’t know about his screen name. I don’t see any other vlogs featuring online play.

Rock probably doesn’t want you dissecting his play. I think it should be encouraged to create vlogs, it’s advertising for the poker room and advertising for the great game of Pot Limit Omaha!

I agree, I think it's great for the game. PLO is becoming more and more popular around here, we had 5 tables last night (a Wednesday), we should keep promoting it.

Last session was easy rungood.



I opened this one, one flopped me the second-nut flush and I bet small, bet small and a set folded.



I called an open with this in the BB and donked on a full nut wrap for me and everyone folded.



This one was a limp utg and it limped around. With three nut flush blockers and one nut flush draw I am not folding this for $5. I flopped top set anyway, a Q hit the turn, someone potted from the SB, I raised, and everyone folded.

Flopped a couple more sets and got value from draws called with gutter plus pair plus OP plus second nut flush draw with KK another hand and stacked turned two pair. That was pretty much it. This dude to my right kept complimenting every play I made, world class, best player, etc. It was funny. I was dancing in the car on the ride home to some sick beat up another $2k. It's times like these plo feels like an ATM machine. I am reminded just a couple months ago I was absolutely depressed in the car on the ride to the casino every day, just expecting to lose again.

Made some adjustments to my game tonight and they seemed to pay off! Thanks for reading.

Up over $4.5k in the 5/5, dsAA AI pre held, bunch of smaller pots, KK983ddd held multiway on KcQd4cAd, binked Q otr against two straights (40% for side pot and way more for main, there was a pretty big side pot and I have not run the math yet but it was probably a close call either way). 3! AKdd in bb versus EP open at 2/5, he called, x/f 89Tssc flop (what a dreadful game), but the plo rungood continues. There was a very old, sympathetic, partially blind man who was pretty clueless just getting it in for heaps with bottom set and betting two pair with a straight out there. I was already up a bunch and he one-outted someone else for a $5.5k pot and rather than risk that happening to me and not to be totally evil preying on him I just decided to book the win. It was a very good game of course and I assuredly should have played a little longer, but it was late and I did not want to ruin my schedule again.

Going to/have already easily surpassed my $20k monthly goal at this point, and going to do so in a landslide if things keep going the way they have been so far this month, and that's even after posting my worst night on record earlier in August. Yippie!

I danced some more in the car ride home to this beat

and then cuddled with the dogs on the kitchen floor. I'm not such a bad guy when you see me rubbing my face into my doggies' tummies, I swear.

Run good: it's all about that healthy living! I've been working out, sleeping, eating well, relaxing very consistently all month. It's paying off! :P (But so does buying in deeper.)

Pre-session routine complete: great sleep (9-10 hours), sufficient caffeine (2.5 cups latte, nespresso, $1 per capsule), workout (gym, 15-20 minutes, cardio 5 min, weights 12 min, back roller for core and back massage), food (butter chicken trader joe's frozen, $3, side of kale) (dogs got to lick the leftovers), relaxation (self-explanatory...), browsing the interweb for phil galfond stuff.

I almost went to the beach today but it's too late to go now. Gonna hit the tables and play nitty as hell. I don't want to spew after my nice win last night. No winner's tilt today. Nope! Bf is back in town finally, dinner plans tomorrow. Gonna keep the run good going as long as possible.

Saw a condo yesterday, really nice views and lightning, quiet...will see.

Took a little stroll to enjoy the sun before playing, take it all in, and appreciate my blessings, what a view!

.

Session went fine, 1/2 plo5 actually resulted in most of the profits (about $1,600). Battled with this toxic reg I had gotten into it with months ago while we waited to get into the 5/5 game (always potential for tilt when this happens). I open AQT64ddhh (nut diamonds) and flop T-3-2dd, I bet 1/2 pot, reg pots, I jam, he calls and I river my gutshot. Next hand with him, he opens, I call OTB with KKQJ8hh and flop K-T-4r. I have pretty much the mortal nuts with top set and nut open-ender. He continues, I pot, he calls leaving himself $300 behind. Turn: 9. The money card. He ships, I snap and the board pairs another T otr and I stack him again. Revenge, what a powerful motivator! I've said it before, but Uma Thurman knew what she was doing in Kill Bill. Between this reg and another during my $11,000 session, I have defeated my biggest 5/5 enemies...for now.

5/5 was wholly uneventful, got no hands, called a few opens, made another $100. Most interesting hand was opening 789TJhhss SB, flop T64ccs. I x/c $100 from aggressive player. Turn: Qs, very good card giving me flush draw and mega wrap to go with Tx. I crai when he pots it for $200 more and we run it twice and chop: 2, A. He had T9935 (...). Earlier he got it in for stacks with a gutshot, apparently he thought he had a straight without much of a redraw. Same difference, he went runner-runner boat to brutally luck box some reg. Only spot that I could have played differently was AA962ds, flop 852, we have backdoor spades bottom pair and AA, I x/f for psb from same aggro player. Could see bet/gii here just as easily but I block straight draws so he's weighted towards value, and despite his image it didn't feel right. That's about it! The rungood continues. I think I will spend today with my friend and bf. Well-deserved day off. Sundays aren't normally great poker days anyway.

i dont get the part with second nut low in his hand histories
Did you played omaha 8 5 card, there is no nut low on omaha 5 card ..






and make it $20. Sad. Just $20 over a bunch of $10 limps. What a dreadful game. They all fold.

Kidding, they all call of course. Flop is Q-7-6r and it checks through. Turn: 5d giving me bdnfd and second nut low, checks to btn who bets $20, three callers. River: 8, I still have just second nut low. BTN bets $20, one caller and here I was torn between calling and folding. I have two AA blocking A2 but people love playing A2 hands and I may not be getting any of this pot. My high (AA) is assuredly no good. I reluctantly fold getting a good price (10:1) and am show the bad news: 23 and a straight. Never folding in 10/20 again! It's not like the 2/2 game.

Yes, big o is another name for plo5 hi/lo or plo5 omaha 8. Thanks for following!

Shopping with a friend saw this ad in the josabanks :

. Represent!

Now dinner date at Brazilian joint. Maybe cards later will see how I feel.

After date night, headed to casino, but list for plo was too long (on a Sunday night, go figure) and I left after hanging out at hold 'em with my bartender buddy for about an hour. I had just sold him my plo5 strat guide (he gave me $30, I offered it to him for $5!) and we chatted some hands. At 2/5 opened AA, flop Q-2-4, bet, call. Turn: T, x,$100, hero crai $450, tank fold.

My buddy sent me this photo today and

“Best $30 I’ve ever spent!” (I sold him my guide yesterday). He said the section on playing KK and wraps alone was worth the money.

If anyone else wants a copy of my nine-page PLO5 strat guide, I am selling it for $20. Given the dearth of good written PLO5 content out there, I consider it a steal. Just Zelle me the money (PM me for my number and provide your email and name so I know who to send it to) and I will email you a copy. If you buy a copy, you will also get one free ten-minute one-on-one coaching session to go over your leaks and/or a poker session. Cheers.

I unrelated news, I was tempted to buy another bag today to commemorate the milestone victory this month and these caught my eye: https://www.amazon.com/Antonio-Valer...cx_mr_hp_atf_m

but they seem too nice and I will be overly worried about getting them dirty. Poker rooms are so gross! I have gotten gum on at least three pairs of pants and a bag.

I want this briefcase! Maybe I should apply my session profits today to buying it. I’m pretty much free rolling this month, right?

Played so-so and made $750. In my defense I did not relax or get my usual full exercise routine in before playing. Lost a doozy with KJT92cc against double suited hhcc JJ839 on T25Kcchh. Won an AA. Life’s great.

This is good value..
Will be purchasing

Does it apply to PLO6 online 6max?
And PLO4 live and PLO5 live? Or online or both

To be ultra conservative I'd say it applies primarily to plo5 live games because so many pots are very multiway, but a lot of concepts like the importance of nuttiness and blockers apply across all plo variants. Thanks!

how many pages?

10 pages now, I just added short sections on boats and another blocker section and a brief introduction.

Up just shy of $500 on the day, $1,300 5/5 (AAKQTss AI pre held three ways), a loss at 2/2 (AA AI pre didn't hold and one failed bluff). Games were really bad tonight, I am happy I booked a win at all. Heard the organizer of the big 5/5 private game made $70k last week and is nowhere to be seen this week. Go figure - must be nice to run a juicy, protected game surrounded by whales where you can make as much in one day as people make in an entire year! That's about it.
