Richard has posted a 4 hour video.



Now its getting serious. the intro of the video is fully sick.

Of course I play. In fact, I just took a few weeks off poker to evaluate my strategy. I'm no longer playing cashies on GG Poker that's for sure. Never been a fan of 6max cash! I will however, sometime play 9 handed cashies on PokerStars.

Last night I played PLO 5 on GG Poker and won $11 in 5 hours. that's 200bb/100 hands.

People tell me all the time "you play too many hands" OR "you can't attain more than 50bb/100 hands, but I did with PLO 5. AND in that session last night I had a VPIP of 99% 😄



W$SD is not too bad at 34.6%. 3bet % only 5.6. But basically when I have a VPIP of 99%, i'm calling raises or 3bets pre with a very wide range of hands and when you play 5 card PLO, it is easy to land with a draw to try and hit the nuts and win a big pot. In fact alot of the hands I encountered last night I was a 3:1 dog and I luckily hit big scooping a big pot.

The way I see it in PLO 5, you want to have a big stack and mop up the small stacks, because I won 34.6% of the pots I went to showdown with, which tells me i'm playing big pots alot of the time 😄

I just got a 30 day trial with Drive HUD 2. It is the best poker tracker software in my opinion. You can also track your 6+ holdem journey too

I won't go broke now.... thanks to GG Poker and all the bad beats i've been dishing out... I got C$35 to play at the tables. It will make my stats on Drive HUD 2 slightly out though, given the pokertracker doesn't take into account buy ins with the C$.

this is our song bub.

Alright guys, i'm back and will be streaming poker up to 25 hours a week.

We will be playing PLO 5, using Drive HUD 2 as my poker hand tracking software of choice and we will be playing on GG Poker.

This is my schedule for this coming week!



When I say 12-5pm for doing hand reviews, that is only 30 mins or so actually recording the video, with the rest of the time spent uploading primarily.

Also I just thought i'd mention I will start trading on the stock market in a few weeks time.

This is a sneak preview in terms of what I will be teaching you guys:



I will now be updating my poker twitch channel with the exact times I will be online and my goal is to stream daily, so you guys actually keep being interested in what I am doing

So #LetsDoThis

Trying to improve the clarity of my speech and to look into the camera!

This is my hand reviews from 3 weeks ago playing PLO 5.

See you guys tomorrow at 12pm NZT

#LetsDoThis

Alright guys, just a few things I wanted to share

I've had to change my schedule - I always find it hard waking up, so I haven't been streaming this week (apart from doing the hand review on Monday).

I have signed up to PocketFives. If I can make it into the top 100 in New Zealand, then i'll be a happy man

This is my profile on there - https://www.pocketfives.com/profiles/richierichnz/

As you can see, my best ever poker score is 76th in the $55 Sunday Marathon $125K GTD for $266.

That is my favourite NLHE tournament. However, I cannot afford to stay up all night playing poker when that tournament is on, so once a change in circumstances happen, I will make sure I play this tournament on a weekly basis

However, I will get up at 5am NZT Monday to Thursday to play this tournament on PokerStars:



This is an 8 game tournament that lasts for approximately 6 hours. It's only been going for 2 months on PokerStars and I will definately aim to play it starting this week

If I get knocked out of the 8 game early, I will play PLO 5 cash games on GG Poker, until 11am NZT - just like I did in my last video hand reviews.

In regards to trading, i'm not sure when I will start this. I might have to rejig my schedule, getting up and going to bed at different times of the day, because the nature of trading, means I want to be trading between 9-2am NZT Monday to Friday.

Trade reviews will be done on my trading twitch channel in the weekends. I will be recording my trading sessions and taking note of when I opened and closed a trade, so I can commentate on it when I create a you tube video.

So my weekly schedule will look abit like this:

Trading; 9-2am NZT Monday to Friday
Poker - 8 game on PokerStars - 5am to 11am NZT at the latest Monday to Thursday.
PLO 5 cash games on GG Poker, after I get knocked out of the 8 game. If I win the 8 game, or make the final table, I will not be playing PLO 5 cash games on that day.

Sleep til 6pm Monday to Thursday after the poker is finished for the day.

Friday go to sleep early at 2.30am NZT on Saturday after the final trading session of the week.

Saturday at 2pm NZT, conduct all poker hand review sessions of key hands in cash games and or tournaments and upload video to you tube. Keep it to 2 hour video maximum.

PLEASE NOTE: 8 game hand reviews will be conducted on the spot via the stream. I will sit out the next hand whilst I review the previous hand live on stream. I will record the time this happened and edit the hand review into the video that I create using my video editor program that I use

Sunday at 2pm NZT, conduct all trading reviews of key trades won and lost and why that outcome occured - upload video to you tube. Keep it to 2 hour video maximum.

I've just bought a new computer and I will be offline for a day or so whilst I am setting up the new PC and OBS studio etc. That will probably not be happening until next week though at the very latest.

As much as I want to play the 8 game in another hour or so, I will pass. You always have to know your limits

Good night everyone

Gl in your journey!

Cheers mate - you too. I love your hand analysis.

I just need to speak up more and talk to the camera and I will be alright

I'm still working on that. It takes a bit to get comfortable and speak like you're just having a conversation with a friend when talking to the camera. Practice makes perfect though, keep at it.

I've saved your most recent PLO vlog so I can check it out, just hammered today.

I'm just playing 1c/2c PLO at the moment. I just started taking PLO seriously and I got $35 cash on GG just by dishing out badbeats etc. It's seriously the easiest money i've ever made

back on the 25th July guys after the WSOP Main event & World Matchplay Darts!
