Grinding close to 6k hand sure makes your brain mushy.
Nice to see the redline above 0, made a tons of bluffs OTR and stabs with c/r , one of the biggest leaks i see at these stakes is the old c/c flop and than they bet the turn when they rep nothing, a raise and they fold 99/100 times. Valuebetting thin at these stakes is also a big mistake i see people missing, checking back clear valuebets OTR.
You're extremely overqualified for these stakes. I'm not sure why you are expecting people to play well at the lowest stakes available??? Of course a large % of the player pool is going to be making mistakes at .01/.02 PLO. lol
Why not do 10k --> 100k ? Surely playing microstakes has to be a suboptimal way to spend your time...
Crazy how the general standard of players based on your hands is really poor. Especially the JJJ9 hand on the 976 flop.
Yea i don't know if it's tilt move or that people really are that bad (=

With all that said, GL with your challenge.
I do this mostly cause i've got a bunch of students playing these stakes, trying to shove them how you beat these stakes and they watch me play live and we discuss every interesting hand that comes up and preflop strategy, postflop betting etc.
When i complete this $100-$10k challenge i'll probably just keep going with your idea and do a 10k-100k.

Finished the day by playing 8table of zoom 4tables $0.01/$0.02 and 4 tables $0.02/0.05
I'd say the people at PLO5 are more stack-off-happy with any 4cards.

As a micro PLO fish who's trying to improve, I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this thread. Good luck!
I just have a quick question, I saw you opened KQJT with 3 hearts UTG, are broadway rundowns strong even when having 3 of one suit? Is that a standard open, or a looser one that you're comfortable with because of your sizeable edge over the field?

I’d say i open a bunch of hands at these stakes I normally wouldn’t especially from cutoff and button due to people under defend their blinds and play to much fit or fold style . But back to your questions KQJT even with 3 of a suit i’d open utg at any table.

I know a lot of this can be situational and villain dependent. I'd be interested in hearing about the sort of hands you'd open but fold to a 3bet. As equities can run so close pre-flop I often wonder whether it's a leak to call 3bets with certain hands or whether it's 'correct' if you're opening with a decent starting hand.
Following on from that; 4bet ranges. Whether you limit these to AAxx/KK double suited and double suited good run-down hands eg. QJT9/KQJT/JT98 and maybe stuff like double paired hands QQJJ/QQTT/KKQQ etc.
Overall, do you think it's a leak to fold AKQJ/AKJT/AKQT hands pre-flop to a 3bet/4bet due to the possibility of hitting an A on flop and running into AA even though you hold a blocker?
