Hey, so I've beat the 2nd smallest micro stakes PLO in 3 weeks, 30K hands. Mostly zoom on PS. Started with ~$180 now $290 + $50 in starcoins rakeback.

My impression is that you gotta vbet thinly throughout, but fold to raise without nuts. Yeah you can get it in 60 or 70 favorite mostly on semi setups (people still stack off lightly) on the flop, but I feel at least as good value comes from 50-70%pot vbet on not all ins. Value bet flop, cont. Turn. Check river if runout is horrible. PLAY IN POSITION!

You get burnt once in a while with bluff on river, but then you get a note out of it that villain flats AAss, slow plays nuts wet oop. Cbet with pure bluff HU, follow through with 1/2 on pairing turns if there is flush draw open on the flop.

HUD is important. I got tendencies IP/OOP seperately, so that I know when to check back, or when villian bets against missed cbet IP/OOP. overall aggresion is useful as well as donking. I got 1 line which I never use (see T/R when seeing flops), I should replace it with some 3B pot tendencies.

Here are the graph and my stats:

EDIT: what next? I'm using PLO from scratch BRM, just that I'd drop to regrind if 5 BIs r lost.

Hi!
You have a nice winrate, but i think you really need to open a lot more hands You are way too tight preflop. Open more from BTN, CO and SB, and you probably need to defend a lot more from BB. If you post stats from each position that would be useful to tell you more.

Playing this tight can be profitable on plo5, maybe even plo10, but any higher you wont be able to make money. On these stakes solid players will exploit you easily, and there is not so much bad players that will pay you off when you have a hand.

Good luck!

first of all: implement EV bb/100 in your stat overview. your EV bb/100 will be somewhere at 8 when i look right. Should be like 20...

Thats not really convincing imo. You can move up but don`t be surprised if your winrate goes down to 0.

1) 30k hands is nothing in plo. Even the best crusher out there go 30k hands BE/loosing from time to time
2) Your style is tight. Thats fine at lowstakes (rakelol), but loosen up as you move up.
3) Books are outdated these days. Videos, post hands, analyze, repeat
