Wtf... he has seemed like a nit every time I've played with him. I guess he's on monkey tilt?

He'll definitely nit it up on occasion, but he definitely has the steam option.

Iggy was right, the solution is to always play more hands:

Nice job dude, where did you focus on opening up? Later position? Or adding more hands in all positions? Or just getting run over by the deck preflop ?

I iso limpers a ton (with either good hands, or hands where I can make TPTK/top2, etc.), raise any decently coordinated hand from any position, play nut draws very aggressively, and am willing to shove my entire stack in if I am sure you don't have a strong hand and I can represent one.

I rarely 3bet fwiw. I only 3betted good AAxx hands for this session, which wasn't very often.

Sounds a lot like the strategy I employ at the lower stakes... I've run as high as 50/25.

As stacks get deeper, I tend to 3-bet in position a lot. Basically, I try to make life hell for the other people at my table.

Hey can anyone tell me what is standard here vs a 50/7/3 (only 40 hands) with no real history. I'm very new to PLO and cant decide between call/fold, fold now, call/call. I dont think Im supposed to stack off or fold on the flop so I think its between call/fold and call/call. If i call the flop do i stack on a blank turn if he shoves? If he checks? I know this is painfully standard for most of you so I didnt want to waste a whole thread on it.

You're either dominated (more than likely), getting freerolled, or a coin flip so I'd fold

Twin is so horrible. He definitely is one of the worst regs at 1/2. To think that he used to play high stakes.....

He still does, he plays everything from 1/2 to 10/20 and has very strange table selection principles. And I don't think he's terrible, he's just more used to very aggressive games and lately PLO200 on Stars is some nitty ****.

bluffing fish like a ***** idiot

I also noticed that whenever I'm 3bet, or I 3bet, or 4bet some1 they're probably flopping the nuts and then I make some dumb shove/call like they're bluffing

only ended down 110 so pretty small considering I'm overrolled

at least I binked when it counted at PLO50, being such a dog

i think I could probably do 30s / 20s but getting in the mid 40s and 50s vpip you find yourself without a hand too often against people who call

it does improve rakeback but thats kind of meaningless if you lose or run bad

12-12-2008 , 01:52 AM
Most of those hands you played fine, just run better i guess!

Yah for sure, when you're playing 40/30 or w/e you're in marginal situations a bit more often. And you may have to play fewer tables than you normally do, just because you're going to be seeing more turns/rivers and you can't be distracted when playing big pots post-flop.

You have to push your edges a bit more, but overall I find it's a profitable strategy because you win lots of pots uncontested and you get paid off when you hit much more often.
