Yeah the days where I actually play PLO Kruppe I seem to have a really good work ethic with regards to reviewing hands afterwards, it seems like you have to work super hard to understand this crazy game.

Thanks GooRuk for your spam, I might return the favour ;)

IcMean, stay cool.

W00t 7 days LAN & Beach at friends bach FTW, see ya guys!

-Now some of the best midstakes players come down as low as T/20 to play, which sucks, and also games don't run super often on 30/60 and above, unlike PLO. I still think I'm good enough to beat T/20 but 30k hands of -1BB/100 is so demoralising, it's hard to get good volume when you also table select at that stake so running terrible as I take shots has hurt me a lot, I can't "grind through" the variance.

-If you still have the will and motivation to get good at FL, do it, if you try to make yourself the best you will always be able to win there.

Hehe, i won't even have to get any better anymore, cause it seems all good regs are leaving the game, so there will soon be only fish left FL paradise FTW


I dont remember making my previous post, but I still think PLO sucks

yeah, i think it's quite difficult to understand. that was my biggest problem besides discipline. At the end i'm pretty sure i was +EV at rush PLO100, but i realised that in nearly every hand i played i simply didn't understand why a line was right or wrong, and that was very disconcerting. i carefully watched maybe 7 or 8 PLO vids on bluefire by don and galfond, but all they seem to talk about was level 1 stuff(e.g. 'i only have the 2nd nut flushdraw, so if i hit i won't lead river') and basic concepts like protection, ranges etc, which never seemed to add up to a big picture for me, it felt like i was missing some underlying principles.
if you know any really good NL to PLO or general PLO theory videos,....?

there is almost nothing more in PLO 6max/9max than basic equity of your hand. i know few midstakes 400/600 6max players who play between 12 and 24 tables even without hud with stacked tables and they are 4bb+ winners. simply you need to know equities...

Back from my trip! Gaming was great and beach doubly so.

I have 30k VPPs to grind in 30 days for the 300k VPP milestone bonus, ezzzzzz game. Will try have it done as fast as possible so I can pure PLO for a good chunk of the month.
