PLO, The Gift and the Curse
so i am playing some toolbox from spain at 2/4 plo. i stack him once and he reloads for 200bb. he is playing like a moran and i start 4betting him and he happens to win a couple big 4b pots. i start to get angry. hulk smash, what does this little spanish pantalones clown know about plo angry. i start betting lots, he starts calling lots. and hitting lots. after a while he has a $5600 stack. at $2/4.
so its time to take things to the streets i think to myself. its time to 3b every hand i want to play. something around 50%. its time to 4b every time he 3b. it took 11 hands to bust him. here are the 4 that did him in.
warning, UGLY PLO HANDS AHEAD:
