Bad news for Poker Master.
However, there's a bright side. When one dominant app leaves the space, others are able to flourish.
Lots of money to be made in the Chinese space and abroad. A good time for online poker enthusiasts if you can handle some risk and uncertainty.

As always, a good agent is absolutely essential and will help keep you out of trouble while you navigate this space.

How you guys play this turn?

Does raising the turn "clean up" some of my outs? I probably need to improve versus (SB). Does my raise on the turn fold out competing draws enough on the turn to warrant an isolation raise? Or do we make more money by calling and inviting players behind me?

If I flat turn and river is one of my set outs, 5 or 3, I could lose to a straight. If I flat and river is an Ace, I could lose to KT. If I flat turn and river is a diamond I could lose to a higher flush. It seems that if I flat call turn I can get into a lot of sticky spots on the river by inviting callers behind me. There is also a consideration that by the river there will be a dry side pot, disincentivizing people from bluffing, however you never know with this game.

Is it worth it to risk a whole stack on the turn? Remember, everyone checked on the flop when checked to.

Top set of aces + Nut Flush draw loses to middle set all in on flop. :>

Where else can you get hands like these?

Just did my meal prep thing this Sunday.

General Tso chicken topped with spicy pickled jalepeno. Salad: spring greens, mini bell peppers, tomatoes, mini carrots, cucumbers, mushrooms, sunflower seeds and a wedge of pepper jack cheese.

It would seem that it it completely insane to lend someone in excess of half a million dollars without any kind of collateral or contract, but poker players do it all the time. When whales are in a game players see it is in there best interest to keep the game going and provide a line of credit to recreational players.

I think it was Phil Laak or Antonio Esfandiari who popularized this term. Lockdown Poker or 'LDP' could be used when a wild player who was raising and coldcalling a wide variety of hands noticeably stops playing this way and tightens up after winning a huge pot.

For example: the rec, who torched off 10 buyins in the game miraculously wins a 1,000BB pot and suddenly isn't in the mood to 4bet J6.

It is truly a sad sight to see and everyone is left wondering why there is no more action in the game.

Hi! I've been lurking here on and off for the past couple weeks and enjoy reading.

I'm new to PLO and it looks like you play it a lot more. Maybe a silly question, but have you ever folded raggedy/unsuited aces pre in 5-card PLO facing a lot of action? Just wondering for my own game whether this is ever a consideration 100-200bb deep. (Shallower obviously an easy GII.) Thanks and gl!

What's up, DumbosTrunk. Glad to have you here.


You're really only supposed to fold "bad" Aces preflop when you believe that one of your other opponents hold the other Aces. In this rare situation with more than 2 opponents you can get your money in pretty bad and the deeper you are the worse it can get.

However, you should proceed with caution and not go overboard with this concept. For one thing, it is rare to be up against another player holding the other two remaining Aces. Two, there is enough players in my experience that are spewing preflop that it becomes difficult to put people on the other aces just because they are raising and re-raising preflop. You will be surprised at the type of hands people will choose to gamble with especially in a game where you get 5 cards!

To answer your question, if I were in position 200BB deep I would still 3bet and 4bet even "bad" aces because there is a good chance you can: 1) Isolate a player in position 2) Create dead money when people call and then have to fold preflop 3) Knock out the blinds 4) Make people fold behind you that have position 5) Give people a chance to just spew completely and go all in pre with a hand they're not supposed to

If I were out of position I would just call 200BB deep.


Hope this leads you to finding out a solution to your inquiry. I still see this as a new game with a high potential for profit so stick with it because the games are going to be good for a while.

Take care.

Thanks! Gl.

Meal Prep Sunday.

For the poker player who wants to grind, eat healthy, and eat good food.

First, prep the mini sweet peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes.



Cook the main dish. We are preparing orange chicken.



Spring greens and a wedge of pepper jack cheese.



Topped with our prepared veggies.



Sometimes I add chopped almonds, pickled jalepenos, and a salad topping.



But you don't have to. The orange chicken can be good on it's own. I really enjoy when the sauce caramelizes and creates a light crust on the chicken.



And that's how we meal prep for the week. Thanks for stopping by.

Time to grind. Wasn't plan on playing today, but when you're running well and playing decent it's a good idea to push yourself and play a few extra sessions. So let's see how things turn out. Good luck everyone.

Time to play. 8th day in a row playing poker.



Will need to take some time off soon because there is a good chance of burnout happening.
Playing around 6-10 hours a day up to 8 tables at a time.

Let's see how the games develop today.

Plan is to keep playing until we have a biggish losing session, then take a day off to rest and some time to study.

Until then, keep up the grind everyone.

"Fernando(JNandez), when is your solver going to be ready?"

"3-4 weeks."

"The strongest software about PLO on the market."

Looks like JNandez and Co. will be releasing some PLO related software soon. How will this change the PLO landscape for the casual and serious player?

Are we moving towards software that is capable of offering real time assistance to the casual player? Or are we blowing this all out of proportion and worrying for nothing?

i dont think it will be usable in real time. maybe sites like stars will list it as not allowed to use while stars software is open like the equity calculator in pokertracker. well, i hope so. there also might be some delay for gto solutions like the 10s for his preflop thing on discord. since this software will probably be quite pricy i dont think a lot of casual player will use it. the serious players using it will probably get even more serious of course. but i think it will be more of an analyzing tool for your played hands including access to some solver sims data and pre flop gto stuff like this discord tool he is showing in the video so you will have to do a lot of work after your session to get some value out of it. but the casual player wont put in too much time off the tables.

gl at the tables

ps: thanks for posting plo hands in the high stakes thread btw

I agree. JNandez Poker is very aware of the TOS of poker sites that prohibit using certain programs and will probably recommend that you not use his software while playing.

It may still be awhile before the casual player is able to use PIO or Monker, but more and more commercial entities are popping up that are using the output of these solvers to satisfy an increasing demand in the market.


You're welcome. After I grind I like to rail bird a bit. PLO seems under represented in these threads so I thought I'd contribute.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care.

11th Day in a row playing online poker.

Brain still functioning and I think I'm still playing alright so we're going to continue. I've questioned whether it's good to play so many hours of online poker without a break. I usually take at least 1-2 days off a week. Keep in mind that 99% of the time I am 8-tabling and playing a ton of 5 card PLO, which is equivalent to poker crack cocaine.

Conclusion: play longer when you're running well and play shorter and take breaks when things turn the other way. So let's continue with the fun.
