haven't read lyle berman but would lay money that reading it would reduce your ev if he's advising never to raise utg. might have been correct in live games 20 years ago. def not right for online 6-max today or ever.

same as nlhe, people who limp are likely to be fish. i mean, i see someone openlimp online and it takes a hell of a lot to change my opinion. i iso them really wide, and i overlimp pretty wide as well, depending on my position and who's behind me.

It kind of reminds me of something I read in a Hwang book in like 2008ish (I think) - I had been playing plo online for maybe a year and a half, something like that.

He states that once "you get a few thousands hands in, you're ready to try the pre flop raise". Had a very hard time stopping laughing.

A cunning tarp:

Did I say, I hate rush weeks, cause I always lose with 98%? I guess this might change very soon and I will learn to love it.

From twitter - obv no way to verify if he had looked at his cards first..

I have been straddling and playing in the dark in the 5k PLO. One one hand a guy limped so I couldn't raise.

barrygreenstein Barry Greenstein
The flop came Ac3h2h. He checked, I bet, he called. Turn was 10s. He checked, I bet, he raise all in.

barrygreenstein Barry Greenstein
Now I looked and found AhAs5h5s! Top set, nut flush draw, gutshot, and extra blocker of the nuts!


barrygreenstein Barry Greenstein
The poor guy was dead to one out with his set of deuces. That's the best looking in the dark hand I can recall.

Not much of a beat %-wise, but someone want to explain villains thought process here?

He was playing 13/4

He has 8 outs to the nuts and backdoors... still don't like it.

And coldcall is obviously dreadful.

mbn to have an 1500bb stack on PLO50 deep..

its more like a 3000bb stack, no?

ähm i guess u got me here,why do i play poker if i can't count bb's?????

played in softest plo game of my life last night... live 1/2 that was similar to play money. was incredible, by the end of the night there was 13K on the table.

Brag: Had 8500 in front of me
Beat: Was in for 5000

FYP & Not sure that's a beat...
