There is this thread on the top of the page of the beginner's forum. It's hard to miss. And it says "READ THIS FIRST". Your answer is in there.

Why can't I use private messages?

Because of concerns with high numbers of unsolicited private messages, we require that new members participate in the community before activating them. Normal use of the forums will automatically enable this feature.

While we can't disclose the exact requirements, please be assured they are easy to meet through normal participation. We have no wish to limit those who are new to 2+2 and only looking to be a part of the community. However, attacks from spammers exploiting the PM system needed to be addressed. Restricting private messages for unknown posters is currently the best method we have for dealing with the issue. Doing this also frees up valuable system resources for the rest of us who aren't here just to abuse the system.

If you need to contact a moderator or the administration before your PM box is enabled, please use posts or send us an e-mail.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Not so hard, eh?

ps. welcome to 2+2

Are there any PLO Well threads?

I don't think the PLO is recognized by the UN yet,,,, so I am sure that organization is not a sanctioned member of 2+2 at this time.

The Well is a group of threads that are essentially autobiographies by respected members at 2+2. Usually posted in the poster's most frequented area of 2+2. As an example, I play full ring cash games so The Well I authored was posted in the NL microFR.

I suspect you may be looking for a How-To-Play PLO.... is that correct?

Maybe try HERE If you are looking for The Well posted by PLO players, click the link and then click Search This Forum and type in "The Well" (with quotation marks). I found several

This is a really dumb but serious question.

1) How do I use the "Search" function on this forum? Is there a way I can search using some of the words that I type?

Whenever I search for something, I have a difficult time trying to find what I'm looking for. I have made threads in the past that have been deleted because they've been discussed endlessly or there is a special thread for questions regarding my topic or people will be like, "I hate to be that guy, but seriously USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!"

Example: I wanted some advice on buying a used car, so I searched "Buying a car" in title only and it came up with 34 different results but not the thread I was looking for here. So I created a new thread and it was deleted.


2) How would I go about searching for something like this: I want to develop a better understanding about betting frequencies in NL.

3) If someone says, "I think Villain will bet this flop 100% of the time, and I think he'll bet the turn 80% of the time.

If you estimate villain's range to be the top 20% of hands on the flop and then they bet those 20% of hands on the turn 80% of the time, is villain's range 16% on the turn?

I am so confused.

did you try "buying a car" in the beginner section?

where did you post your new thread that was deleted?

what I'm getting at is Search will yield different results sometimes based on where you conduct the search.

for the search you want to do for betting frequencies....good luck. There will probably be zero threads specifically about that issue. And the reason is (as you already know about poker) It Depends. Why will villain bet 100% on this flop? questions are answered in MANY hand history (HH) threads. But compiled into one seems.....daunting as their are a million +1 scenarios...... So you need to find HH threads about your situation (I has TPTK after the flop but villain CBets)...... to find the discussion about THAT situation. Slowly patterns will emerge the more HH you read.

Now to your last question about 100% - 20% / 80% -16% ......................sorry, poker is hard. Generally look at beginners betting with top of range. More experienced players bet a polarized range (top 10% + bottom 10%). And advanced players...... So where do you put your current villain is up to you.

Hey King, thanks for the quick reply.

FWIW, I searched "All Open Forums" when looking for threads about "buying a car"

I think I posted my new thread in BBV4L, but then asked a mod to move it to OOT because I realized the entire BBV4L forum is a joke. Then OOT deleted it presumably because the megathread is here. I eventually found this thread and found what I was looking for.

Regarding my questions about betting frequencies. It's just too vague, like you said but I found some good stuff in the Poker Theory forum, where there is a lot of information, some useful, some not.

NL Hold'em Tournament Rules Question:


The Button opens with a min-raise
The Small Blind Calls.
The Big Blind, who had only 2.02 Big blinds in his stack before the hand, calls.

On the flop, the Small Blind checks, the Big Blind goes All-in for 0.02 Big Blinds, and the Button calls.

Now the action is back to the Small Blind. Does he have the option to raise?
