If you had 2 players one of which you have to stake for cash PLO which would you choose:

1. Master of odds and a wide range of knowledge. Aware of the majority of theories that are successful, good bet sizing, well timed bluffs, thin value bets, floating etc. etc. His weakness is that he has a terrible mindset, easily tilted and believes he should win every pot he's in. Plays too long and won't quit when he's down

2. Extremely limited range of knowledge; plays nearly entirely based off feel. Inability to calculate odds on the spot only has a general idea but his strength is discipline and mindset. Will quit when he's playing bad, plays at structured times and does his best to play his A game

I used to use tiltbreaker, until I worked out how to uninstall it with lockdown active. Pretty worthless piece of software forme now.

They need a tilt breaker which completely wipes your hard drive and attempts to fraud your bank card 100 times so it gets locked and also sends pictures of you with another woman to your significant other.

Anyway I go with mindset, for it is harder to learn. A quick 30 minute tutorial on basic odds counting would make him a decent player. But it's pretty complex. Player 1 will always go busto, but player two cannot make profitable decisions.

What's your score so far in this easy game with this approach? (Oh wait, aren't you cherry-picking the toppest players who're good both technically and mentally? Well, wait until the 'labour market' dries up, and even now you're missing out on potentially golden horses that just don't yet have good stats and are ready to offer you a bigger cut than your crushers.)

A player of type 2 can be effectively coached to beat the games. A player of type 1 sometimes fails to internalise the coaching or feels bad about taking it (I'm a living example), in especially grave cases dismisses advice, and will play well only until fellow hard-working regs put their knowledge level ahead of his.

OP, let my money meet your stable, I'm too ****ing lazy to manage one
