Hey everyone,
So i decided i want to stop playing NLH as my main game and switch to plo. Mainly because NL became kinda boring to me in the last couple of months.

So i got a roll of ~1,7k $ on the cereus network, from occasionally playing NL cash games. grinded up 50$ freeroll, but wasn t really grinding, i guess i played like 50k hands in 16 Months or something, lol. altho i ran at 14BB/100.

I ve played quite a lot of PLO hands at play money, mainly HU, to get a good feeling for the game. Occasionlly played 25c 50c PLO at cereus, when i was in gambling mode. Without the intention of sounding arrogant i think my thought process is pretty good and i should have an huge edge at the micros!

So
1) My plan was to move my roll to pokerstars, good idea for plo games? I guess rake is importing when i choose the site.

2) I really dont know where to start. On the one hand i think my level of thinking could easily beat PL25 with very good results. On the other hand i m a pussy and can t handle variance. Variance is just so sick in plo i fear i can t handle it when i start at PL25 and instantly drop 10 BI´s. Than stop playing for 4 weeks.
The other option is to just start playing PL5, maybe improve a little bit more and just grind it up. What do you think?

3) Is Omaher pokerTracker worth it? Never used a HUD in plo, and have no idea about the numbers there. Mainly i m interested in this, because i could see if i run massively ran under ev.

other advices?

As a newbie to plo, I would start on 10 or 25 on 2-3 tables to get confident with the game.Imo you can decrease the variance, by selecting your preflop hands carefully (I play 23/14 successfully) and not playing too many hands oop.

If I were you , I would watch videos from dc or pokersavvy. And 2 Hwang books (although advanced is way much better than 1st I think)

HUD: if u want I can help you post my own HUD, what I am using. And explain the numbers.(It depends on poker site though). I use HM hud.

GL

1.) I think stars and tilt are both good choices
2.) Starting small is probably best. If you're crushing, move up. I always have more confidence at lower levels and the beats don't bother me or tilt me as much.
3.) I would absolutely recommend getting and using a hud.

Also, as has been said earlier, I think watching some PLO videos will help a lot too. Deuces cracked and card runners both have some great videos for small stakes plo.

There's this great sticky at the top of this forum's lobby called "Guide to Small Stakes PLO By Us". Study that and start posting hands. gogogogogooooo!!!!!!

After every tricky spot\big pot go to http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-tool..****ulator/omaha and see what the odds were.

well as said i m no newbie to plo. actually feel pretty confident about approixmated %s vs possible ranges. played a bunch of hands as said at play money and some 25 50c as action shots. Railed a ton of hands and read a ton of threads here and would feel comfortable in giving advice now too.

It doesn t matter much tho. Guess Stars is fine. will think about HUD probably buy it sometime soon. Danfiu i ll get back to you an ask you about some standart numbers in plo.
Guess i ll just start at PL5 to not tilt and try move up quick. as said i dont have the grinder in me so we will see.
Thx for the help.

Ok. Just send me PM. GL

I personally started at PLO25 playing 2 tables until I got a grasp of starting hands. Thats probably the most important thing you need to know so work on it first

Danfiu i decided to just post my question about HUD just in this thread, so that other people may get some help to, if they happen to find this thread.

So i m going to purchase PTR Omaha today, since it s cheaper. I already have PTR holdem, and i just need to upgrade this.

So what are the most important figures for one s HUD?
I guess VPIP and PR are obv. important. What are standart numbers, and which numbers above and below x show me that the player might be fishy? I guess the numbers are higher than in NLH, what s the average standart?

What other numbers are important to display? c-bet %, call c-bet %, 3 bet %, call 3 bet% ? those? i d guess those are higher in generell as well.

best regards

1. Play some hands.

2. Find a good transitioning from nl to plo book.

3. Watch sb****y/4cardgrind/galfond vids.

4. Play more. Play NITTY.

5. Profit.

May I suggest transitioning from NLH to PLO by tri nguyen. I hear its really good
Lol! that point brought a smile to my face

I m not sure if i should open a new thread about it. It s not about my initial post, and all about my last one now.

HUD figures are really player dependent. I remember when i first started using a HUD i overly packed it and didnt really use a majority of the stats. Have a small, concise selection of stats and really understand what each of them means

llolololoolloolol. werby method by mike werby.


def some product pimping ITT.

A real original thought you have there
look up like 4 posts LOL

was more of a +1, don't worry I can't steal your joke when theres a timestamp ITT.

I know im just joking

Anyone got a solid HUD they could post? (not too much info but just enough on it to use when 12-16 tabling)
