Thanks for the analysis 👍
I was also thinking that his bet sizing was telling Full House or random hand (drawy) that tries to get the 3bettor off AAxx Hands.

1st hand I would fold (maybe in better Rake structure PLO 200/500 + it is a 3bet?)

2nd hand i would think maybe is the real bottom of RFI Range UTG but it may also be AK78 ss. So it would depend on villains that sit behind me if I would Open.

I'm going to fold just because the side cards are so bad.

fold

Fold first open second. Btw OP do you mainly grind the party games? I’m under the impression that party is quite bot heavy.

The hand analysis is really cool

Yup. You guys pretty much got it.

First one is a fold:



Second one is a mix raise call / raise fold:



The rake structure is PLO200 btw

Exclusively Party. Or "Danske Spil" which is a danish site operating on the Party client. It's the only way for me to get any sort of rakeback. Stars doesn't offer rakeback to danish players, neither does anyone else. When going pro next year I might be forced to put in some volume on Stars though (or move out of the country).

I haven't noticed any bots at PLO200. Most regs are chatty. I'm sure there are some, yet I have no way of finding out due to Party anonymizing HH's. There are NO player's who play close to GTO pre which should be fairly easy to program; also, I have seen basically all the regs tilt in some sort of way, so if there are bots they aren't frequently active and neither do they seem to be any good. Some regs do seem to play almost always at the same time, which had me a bit concerned for a while, but that might also just be bc the pool only run (with more than 20 players) for maybe like 3 or 4 hours a day. The biggest threat to PLO isn't as much good programmed bots as it is bots (or players) who share hole cards.

Still a station

What's weird is that Pokertracker counts the aa92ds hand as a 100% EV loss? Oh well

Quiz for tomorrow:

BTN opens to 3,5bb. You have JJ85ds suited to the jacks in SB. Your action?

MP opens to 3,5bb. You have QQ98 suited to the 9 in CO. Your action?

You open JJ107ss suited to the 10 in CO. BTN 3bets. Your action?

Night night

TJ99: I prefer blocking or checking river. villain's range is very high flush heavy
A765: it's actually pretty gross vs c/r on the flop. 99% of the time we're drawing dead or vs better trips

preflop quiz: fold first, call second, third one feels like a very marginal peel

yah it will do that even if there is just a few bb left to be bet on the flop. its dumb.

10J99. Think you missed that villain has 12bb left on the river.

A765, ye agree, might even just be a call on the turn. Way ahead or dead scenario.

Ye saw that when googling the issue. That makes evbb wildy unreliable. Like you can run like **** in three way pots and plummet your evbb. Take this hand e.g., I get a full buy in in with 85% in the side pot and looses and the evbb shows 100% ev loss bc I flopped dead in the side pot.

Brutal stretch ��
For the Quiz I would go with H1: Fold, H2: fold, H3 call (jjt6 i would fold)

3bet, call, call

Hi, great thread. My life opened up a bit and thinking of making a similar run at PLO100. I'm curious how many hours a week you are able to dedicate to playing? Or better yet do you know how many hours you have logged? Hourly BB/$?

Hey man. Thanks! Right now around 20 hours and way less than that if I have plans in the weekend. I work a full time job and workout and cook every single day, so after that there isn't really much time for poker.

420 hours since may 30th. My hourly is 140$ (including 20% rakeback) mainly 6-tabling PLO200 FF (98% of total volume)

Quiz results:

JJ85ds is a fold



QQ98ss to the 9 is a fold



JJ107ss to the 10 is a call albeit a close one



One of you nailed it. I didn't think JJ85ds was a fold, however the more I think about it the more I understand why.

Also, I hate that the colours in Matrix for Raise Call and Call Call are almost identical. Dunno if it's just me but I literally can't tell the difference.

Hey thanks for the response. Awesome results!

and any reason for not grinding PS/GG/apps?

GG doesn't accept danish players. Apps I would have to pay income tax which would be between 37-50% (the same goes for GG if they accepted danish players without obtaining a danish license).

Pokerstars doesn't offer rakeback or any form of bonuses for danish players. E.g. in the 5m$ tourney yesterday the 20k$ bounty on pro's didn't apply to the danish market.

So I haven't been that active simply bc I haven't played. Life got in the way. Played today though and ran very good.

Also I played an interesting hand last week that I forgot to post:

Villain is decent reg

You?

Probably lean call, but not sure. I guess if reg is willing to go for 3 streets w/ lower flushes, call obv becomes worse (doubt he's doing this without at least 2nd nut flush, do regs now adays go for 3 streets w T-Q high flushes at 200bb in 3b pots? probably not. I mean if we're going to ever call w/ top set here, I feel like your hand that blocks nut flush and unblocks his bluffs (hands like KQTx w/ a club) is a good hand to call down with.

I would jam or fold. Don't like calling as I am not sure if villain has enough bluffs unless we have a read that he 3bets very wide

Actually, hand is kind of annoying lol. He can have a ton of 2nd-4th nut flushes as well, a bunch of ds KQT combos that go for 3. Although to be fair, when he pots river I feel like it's a bluff given our blockers, or always 2nd nut flush (I honestly don't see a 200 reg potting a ten high flush for value here). I think I would pot in his shoes otr w/ 2nd nuts, esp if I don't block any pairs. So, what you end up doing? What's your thought process on this hand?
