Hey guys,

I play plo on a chinese Site. My current stakes are 2/4/8(2) which is about 0,2/0,4/0,8(0,2) Dollars.

The games are pretty crazy and the guys (stats between 40/15 and 90/60) just never fold preflop. Also my bankroll is not that high.
Because of that, my strategy is the following:

-I buy in for the minimum 400 (100 BB)
-I limp all the hands I play
-Depending on the position I 3bet(4bet in my stats) a high percentage of the limped hands if someone raises. This means that I get around 40-50% of my stack in preflop.

Why i do this?
Because they never fold. No mather what they play. Examples: t672 k963 a943 etc...
In my eyes this is just the best Strategy. I get in much money against hands I dominate very often.

The downside: In my eyes they flop too often a good piece of the flop. But this could be just bad variance.



3 days ago I found out, that it is possible to use a Tracker and I tried some things and finally I found an interesting aspect of my game. If I filter my hand for pots over 100bb my graph is ultra sick. Break even NSDW and a crazy graph to the sky. My real curve is not that good:

My stats last 3k hands with bigger 3b(4bet in my stats,I improved my strategy as you see in the higher winrate in the last 3k hands):

I know that the big antes have a big influence on the NSDW, but still I think I could inprove my game.
Also I know that the best strategy would be to buy in deep, but my bankroll is not that big and I already play the lowest limit.

What i think about my strategy and about the pokersite:
Actually I think, that my strategy is pretty good. Usually my NSDW should be much higher because i should have much more fold equity on the flop or my SDW should be much higher
You aks my?
In my opinion and understanding of the game they should miss the flop from time to time. But that almost never happens. If they call my big 3b preflop with 6543 the flop will be at least 23x and often 34x. If they call with kt65 against my kk the flop will come like 623 or t62.
I know you may think that this is just "selective reminding" (is this a real expression in english?), but no! I looked over all the big hands and this fact is true.
You will also say "but you are not under ev". But that is the point. To make it clearer, I give you an example:

I 3bet to 180 preflop (stack is 400), with Akkx and the flop comes t43. They will have ALWAYS something. At least one pair, very often one pair + draw or two pair+. Thats the reason why I have such bad NSDW. In a normal plo game, they should miss quite often and therefore fold, which would increase my NSDW. Also, as you see in the graph, since I increased the 3b percentage, my ev line is not that good anymore. Often I miss the board when the limp goes through, also the antes and straddle+ blinds make my stack smaller. But when I finally get a huge portion of my Stack in preflop, i almost alsways push all in on the flop (like 98% in hu pot) and they almost never fold (they fold like 5%)

I just wanted to mention that. That is the reason This could be very bad variance, but my guess is, that the site is rigged(i know, thats a big cliche, but I am really honest to myself and try to understand what happens)



Can you guys give me some Tips? What to improve?

Thank you very much

Look at that crazy ****. This is filtered for pot over 100bb. They fold 2 % and I have just 51% (56%vs one player) equity on average, despite they call every random hand preflop. The SPR (Stack Pot Ratio) is always between 1 and 0.3) How is this possible?

When you go all in against multiple opponents you can not expect to have 50%.56% against one is solid.

If they call every time you 3b/4b, then play like a rock and get paid off when you raise. Seems pretty simple to me.

Don't be afraid to play single raised pots here. Stick with high card hands mostly. With the 3 blinds and large antes, you can get it to where you have an SPR of 2-4 and your opponents will (I assume) have a much higher SPR. This is a very advantageous situation for you. You get to basically stack off with 3b pot flop ranges and your opponents are confined single raised pot ranges because of the presence of multiple deeper stacks. When you limp reraise and lower your SPR to .5 or whatever, each opponent can profitably call the flop with a much wider range. Playing multi-way limped pots really doesn't do you much good either.
