If we talking Jnando, he's alright. As you can see he's breaking even on 500z

Even if nandez is good, your immediate shooting down of the question denotes fear and maybe an unhealthy attachment.

Personally I don't believe he is a great player. I think he is a good player, where his fallback to aggression and willingness to gamble, and all around feel for the game helps him at his stakes.

As far as thinking things through and determining what he himself and his opponents rep, and then how to proceed from there, i think he falls short.

In the hand at 3:17, I think as played the river should be bet. If you're getting trapped you're getting trapped, but you rep enough to stab the river. I don't think it's safe to check and watch opponent fire out pot and then pat yourself on the back for a good fold and never think of the hand again. It's likely he bet because you forfeited the initiative essentially giving up. He can't check to induce and call with his little sdv.
I have always tought he felt short in the way you describe him here. 100% agree with you.
But I do think his preflop game is very good, but boy his postflop game just looks so weak. He just never really blufs and never really hero calls someone down. Just how you describe in the hand 3:17, if he checks that river... he is never ever winning the hand against Thecleaner

I am relatively new to PLO so am not skilled enough to comment as a lot of other posters. What I will say is that I have have found Jnand videos helpful and thought provoking in how I have begun to approach the game. I guess the thing that stands out to me is that if you are going to play such an aggro style preflop (as he does when 200bb deep or less), then there are going to be spots OTF where committing might on the surface look bad (the J high flush hand), but with the $ in the pot already and the fact that equities run so close, are in reality +EV overall. I think he is generally good at estimating his equity in these spots and clearly he is willing to fade the variance associated with it (this is the part I struggle with coming from NLH background).

Here's his latest move that I don't understand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0He5ZTmfxk&t=309s

Hand starts at about 20 minutes exactly. He has AKQJ single suited and decides to squeeze. Okay. He gets four callers and is first to act. Flop comes A28 rainbow. He bets out half pot. Why? One caller sure. Two maybe, although I think even that is questionable with no real draw besides a two pair draw. But I'm sure people could successfully dispute me on that. But four callers???? Don't get the play at all.

Pretty standard c-bet, dunno what else he should do, c/f?

What's the purpose of a bet there? Hope everyone folds? There's no draw they're going to call with. Check calling a late position bet would be better, I don't think check folding is horrible. This isn't holdem.

A lot of times at the tables I play this type of c-bet for one-third to one-half pot just keep everyone in passive mode and helps to see the turn for cheaper than checking and having someone else bet two-thirds pot.

On a different note, you guys haven't seen anything like how much gamble he is going to throw into his play if he is way behind trying to get to 100K in 100 days. He has already essentially said playing deep and being willing to gamble deep is an imoportant factor in this type of challenge. Even Shuller's results in a similar challenge relied heavily on his stack "gambling". Gambling is in quotes because it isn't straight up gambling because JNan and Shuller get those deep stacks in often dominating their opponents. Time and time again in Shuller's challenge he had better side cards than opponent, or was double suited to their single suited or never showed up in big pots with less than 99xx while opponents would show up with baby pairs. Dominance pure and simple in huge pots, while your weaker opponent keeps mumbling damn he is lucky.

My guess is JNan successfully completes challenge only to hear many complain that he "gambled" a lot in deep pots.

what could anyone else have except AA there that they can even call a cbet with? ok he ran into AA but on that board nobody should really have anything and if they have 2 pair he has loads of outs. i can see the play but it's high variance for sure.

he plays better post flop than you Martin. no offence bud but you think your post flop play is good so not sure you realise that his post flop play isn't that bad at all. i'm not a fan boy, and i get that he wins a lot just through his willingness to gamble but some of the salt in this thread is pretty amusing.

Here's my theory, and obviously it could be off because I haven't seen him play enough. But I think he selects well preflop and plays position well, and this is enough to make up for the postflop mistakes he makes.

Maybe learn how to play first before questioning how someone else plays their hands?

Honestly there was nothing wrong with the c-bet there although I'm not sure it was the optimal size. Protection betting in omaha is a legit thing bc of how much closer equities run. If we check flop we are essentially giving up when we most likely have a significant amount of equity. Had the other deep-stack not shown up with AA (pretty unlikely) he'd have prob either got it through or got it in as a fave against the 3455 hand.

JFC ... will you look at the stack sizes, it isn't like this is a limped pot with 100x behind vs. everyone.

Pot: $359.5

SB (JN): $2.5k
BB: $399.29
MP: ~1.2k
CO: $441
BTN: $149.25

The only player you shouldn't be auto snap stacking off vs. is MP, and betting 1/2 pot allows at least two players to reopen the action and is basically AI for BTN ... all of which puts leveraged pressure on MP. We are also more likely to have AA than MP, and none of BB/CO/BTN can have AA unless they are idiots.

If we check and BB bets it's just so much more likely that MP calls, which is terrible for us. Also if we check and CO/BTN bets 1/2 pot then MP gets a huge amount of information and can do very bad things to us.

Auto x/f is what you do at PLO 5 when you have god like reads that someone has random any4 88.


If you wanted to argue that betting $74 was better (so that BN can reopen the action) because you get a similar amount of leverage on MP and it's not as bad if BB or CO call wider ... then, meh, maybe ... or $199 to get more folds and maybe a little more pressure to MP ... but checking ... ffs.

Maybe post the hands to the group pretending you are hero in future (saying you think you played it bad and should have done the action you think is best).
