just lost ~ 5 buyins to a fish heads up

wow i feel awful. i never won more than 45bb off him in a pot, and lost every all-in.

gah

im jff, and i did actually bluff you that hand, no lie

anybody have any good reading for PLO? Im thinking about jumping in at ssnl, but don't have any time to play for another month or so- so I've got time to do some studying before I donk off some of my BR

You're good

I think slootboom is the best.

hi guys, sorry to ask noobish questions in here

i am a midstakes nlhe player looking to learn plo for fun and to increase my professional viability. i'm not a complete noob but i've probably logged fewer than 10-15k hands.

any books/videos you guys would recommend, especially for a nlhe transition? any particulars about BR management (i've heard 100 buyins)? any sobering warnings so i don't freak out over the variance?

thanks, terp

Books: I would say Jeff Hwang book is easy to understand and the explanations are pretty good but you have to adapt for 6max.

Vids: CR or Deucescracked are all pretty interesting. For the transition NLHE to PLO I think lefty's vids on CR are helpfull to learn a TAG style. Then you can swith to Stinger's vids or DC's vids to leran to play more hands.

Conventional wisdom says 30 buyins at the next level to take a shot, 50 to make it your home, and 100 to never drop down. Of course, you have to be able to beat the level, or the buyins don't matter.

At such low levels, feel free to lax these a bit and take shots when the games at the next level look good, which should probably be all the time. Just be sure to have rules, and to stick to them. If you are going to take a shot at PLO10 with 20 buyins, move back to PLO5 when that has sunk to 15 buyins (30 for PLO5). The exact rule isn't important; sticking to it is.

How do you think I could have milked more money out of this? I never really know what to do once the quads come out How could I have hiden the strength or something? I generally don't get any callers with my quads, even when I both check it when I actually hit the quads, or when I only bet small. Any suggestions?

Yay! I must have spent 250 on sats alone and played 6 hours straight but I've finally managed to qualify for FTOPS event 6 tomorrow, it feels very good to win one of those damn thing

Also, while I was playing those sats I tried one of the 20$ 6 max "deep" tournament on full tilt, but I could not really test the structure, I busted at the second hand with nuts+nfd all in on the turn... fun times!

Hopefully I'll play longer tomorrow...

edit: Poker ace hud recognizes my 6 max FTP tournaments tables as full ring tables and the stats are all messed up, anyone knows how to fix it?

Hopefully I won't forgot about the event tomorrow like I did with the event at 2PM today.

man i dunno how you guys can play heads up

everytime i pound on a fish, they quit me after losing a buyin.

everytime i lose an early all in to a fish, they quit me.

just super annoying to not get any decently long action vs bad players =P

the only ppl who don't quit me are the maniacs, but those seem to be around less frequently.

nvm finally ran into another maniac who gave me 3buyins and called me lots of names

<3 those guys

Does anyone data the 25/50+ games on FTP? I would like to get a bunch of hands.

Arghhhhh where the hell is my staker ffs, i want in on the $500 plo and he hasnt shown up for like a week on instant messenger......

1 sat attempt failed, 2 more attempts to go! come on dealer let me hold some times!!!

2nd time bang! whammy, thank god i had some super donks on my table

0-2. On 3rd satellite now.

Super-aggro first hours trying to build a stack?

Is that the way to play these PLO MTTs?

selling pieces for the $535 - 35% left, going for $100 for 15% of profits. Pieces available up until 10 minutes before tournament starts.

I'm 0-4. I suck at PLO tournaments

Im buying 15% for $100 if there are any pieces left.

Woop im in

ill see you fools there.

Bloody staker didnt decide to turn up so did 1 of those sats, had jim mcmanus at my table.

Quasar30 i PM'ed you Pm me back or come on AIM
