tried to think of sexy thread title but you'll have to settle for this nice corny one.

Decided to learn PLO recently (5 years too late obv) for game selection reasons and thought I'd start a thread to aggregate thoughts of mine, comments of others, and general progress development into something productive and useful for me and hopefully others.

I've been playing poker full time since beginning of 2016 and have done relatively well. Playing mostly 2k on U.S. sites these days. Games can be a bit spotty at times so trying to learn a new game and improve my overall average table quality as well as table count.

This will be an informal and perhaps meandering thread (as I will still be grinding 20-25 hours a week of NLHE) but I'm hoping it will keep me interested and motivated. For those who grind PLO or are interested in learning PLO themselves, welcome and thanks for stopping by . Your contributions are appreciated.




beginning graph lol got bored of micros and moved up to midstakes yeehaw



^tonight haha what do you guys think is the % of PGC threads created after OP has sick night/week/month xD

seems like a borderline iso pre from CO, from BTN think it's more std
ott is weird our immediate FE is really low and we don't block any value hands but we do have a lot of equity...not sure on b/c or xc or xrai all seem viable to me.
as played otr I thought he has a tough time folding 77/88 on this totally blank runout so I just gave up.

i like betting turn, checking just seems to turn our hand face up. if he is flat calling a set on that flop, villain has a good chance of again flat calling on that particular turn.

not sure what we would be accomplishing by c/r all in on turn.

cool thread.

thoughts?

Since you have multiple hands in this ongoing thread, might I suggest you label them numerically to separate them and for ease of discussion?

Hey man.
Just subbed to follow you're transaction to PLO.
GL and , I was thinking about PLO lately so , Do you have any advice on where to start?
I know some basics things like PFR hand cats. etc... but I have no study on PLO what so ever... everything I know is just by experience ...
Any head start would be highly appreciated.
GL.

Hey man, thanks for asking.

Personally I don't really believe in hardcore theory related study. There's a guy Tom Chambers who's a RIO coach who has some incredibly detailed and in depth work he's done on PLO combinatorics, etc., sort of nerdy background knowledge that I know is very significant to the game. However I feel like I can learn and internalize this stuff much faster by simply playing some hands and thinking into my decisions. Also I find Chambers' stuff excruciatingly boring.

What I like to do and have been doing lately is set aside a small chunk of time like 2 hours. Step 1 spend a short amount of time like 20-30 minutes watching a strat video -- Phil Galfond, Joni Joukimainnen, whatever. Goal is to get you in the mindset of really thinking critically. Then fire up 4-5 tables and play for an hour. Then spend a little time posting a hand on the forums from your session, ideally one with multiple decision points that are in question (just so you get more out of the thread instead of just looking at a single river decision where all prior streets are totally standard). Also respond to a couple either people's threads, it helps to cross check what you're learning/feel like you're learning with what the veteran posters in the SSPLO threads are saying.

Some exercises I've also been doing is to look at allin situations (doesn't matter the action) and simply plug them into Odds Oracle and see what the equities are. I think this will help with the NLHE>PLO transition because the relative equities are a lot more complicated in PLO. For example, on T92hh, which is better equity, AsAc8s7h or QcJh6h5h. Personally I have no idea, but once I run enough of these spots, I should have a better idea.

GL! Subbed.

Did a sweat with HUMBLE. the other day which went really well, got a good discussion going. He had some good insights into population tendencies of low stakes players (is 100plo still considered low stakes?) and pointed out a few things that I'm doing differently than him.

I think some of my leaks relative to learning PLO are:

- being too keen to play minimal showdown value passively. in holdem a second or third pair is often good to get to showdown because so much ace high in both ranges gets checked to river in equilibrium. In PLO, these pairs aren't good at SD nearly as often, and of course they have equity to improve to two pairs and trips. In PLO I need to push more equity in more spots and just bet and barrel more "mergey" type hands to get value+folds. Especially in the lower stakes where people aren't gonna xr enough.

- betting too thinly for value. I'm making a lot of mistakes here where I'm just not aware of how strong range distributions are on certain boards, like with bottom two pair on a board where a straight and a flush are possible, it's just a check down, and I'm wanting to vbet river.

- not defending the blinds enough. Apparently good players are defending the blinds super wide so I can probably open up there.

I've dropped down in stakes, think I should stick to 50 and 100plo for now. Here's a couple hands:

x flop? generally I'm trying to do more flop betting with pair+draws+blocker type hands as I mentioned above.

as played otf, should we continue turn? blocking Tx and lacking blockers to 7x/3x/straights ott seems like it's more of a check.

Sizings? I probably should go smaller ott blocking JJ, KK I guess. And V's spade combo draws probably just pile flop so a smaller turn size seems better in light of these factors.

if youre half as annoying at plo as you were at holdem, youll do just fine. gl

looooooooooool who are you?

holdem ds continues, dropped another 7k this morning

Looking at 'stars plo zoom pools right now and somewhat salivating at the hands/hr and how much practice I'd be able to get in at PLO in a short period of time.

Anyway wanted to check a few standard spots and also some more difficult hands.

Peel pre ok?
Flop I should just xr gii right? (mistake there, was unsure on fd board but our equity gii is super high I think)
Turn was weird because with our Qs blocker V shouldn't have many flushes in his range, he doesn't iso that many KXss hands pre. I even considered leading. Thoughts?

..

Thanks again for the review.

H2 "Fold flop. Flush draw board, your second pair outs are weak, may be no good, and most importantly this is too weak of a hand to be floating oop."
Wait but...we have top pair? Is this really a fold or did you mis-read our hand? lol

H3 "This is close and jamming turn is spewy. We are playing our hand as essentially blockers to AJ/AK. A turn bet may fold out AJ/A7. I wouldn't check call this turn either."
Good to know, again I'm pretty unsure in certain spots like 3bps (as we saw in H1 QQ77ds should be a flop call). In this case our turn jam is too thin/not good often enough and wouldn't have known that.

Re: H2

"We have top pair."

Yes, top pair no kicker, no nut outs this is a standard fold. This might be an interesting discussion, but i fold here like 99%.

Yeah I gotcha, just wanted to check. I can see how this combo is kind of low in our range given the ****ty backdoors/poor potential, yadda yadda.

@HUMBLE question about H3. With the SPR on the flop, can we not rule out sets, AJ and A7? Would villain not shove in this spot? Just curious as I thought it would be a shove as I feel we are only losing to KQT and 9TQ, maybe random AK with a flush draw?

people are flatting A+nfd, A7, AJ all the time at those stakes.

I play mostly live, that's crazy to me!

gj keeping up the thread, OP.

Ok after a month or so lull in my interest in learning PLO and dealing with lot of IRL stuff I'm back into it, playing some 10plo-50plo on ACR last couple days. If anyone has comments on the following, much appreciated:

******ed failure to 3b pre, playing too many tables.
anyone xr the flop as a merge value/prot with nutted potential?
xc turn is just std here?

Take this with a grain of salt, as I play mostly live PLO.
1. I bet min of $10 on the flop and call off facing a shove. As played I'm bombing turn.
2. I am flatting flop. Way too much equity IMO to fold here.
3. Have to bomb turn and give opponent chance to make a mistake/get freerolled. As played you have $3 left on river so I'm shoving. If Deeper I'd have to evaluate.
4. I'm folding turn. Flop is fine, but turn dirties a few of our outs.

Thanks man, appreciate it.

In H1 V only has $20 otf, so you would bet half his stack? I thought it might be better to try to induce a shove there, but not sure. Maybe if we bet big we get some QQ and T9XX combo draws to fold which is good for our exact hand here.

Out of curiosity how could you rationalize going from playing 2knl to 50pl? 1knl+ still runs plenty on US sites and the hourly cut is >90%. Why?
