Against an unknown opponent I think your fold it a correct play. Most people don’t lead, so when they do they usually have a strong hand.

I only look at the preflop play and not the rest of the post so I wouldn’t be biased.This is definitely not a 4 bet candidate. It is very disconnected, single suited and would be dominated by AA. Really the only KKxx you are 4 betting is ones that contain an Ace.. I may even consider this a fold to a 3 bet depending on the opponent.

Hi Emty,
Do you mostly play regular tables or zoom tables? I noticed most of your videos are on zoom tables but it seems like regular tables have the potential for a higher win rate per 100bb.

I would go for a check raise on the flop based upon his previous aggression. It will make your decisions easier on the turn and river. Also, it might slow down his aggression a bit in future hands.

The best thing you can do is to play tight and nitty while you are getting a feel for the game. Some rules I use for the micros
- Don’t 3 bet crap AAxx - people just don’t fold enough
- Only 3 bet preflop for value, not to isolate
- CK raise the maniacs with really strong hands
- Master folding… it sucks but most of the times you miss and bluffing does not work the best at PLO 5.
- don’t play middle rundowns
- Rake is our enemy
- You can try to steal blinds, but it usually don’t work
- Do not 3 bet KKxx unless it has an A, is DS, and well connected
- Don’t play low pairs hoping to hit a set. (Rake and people that don’t fold just make it difficult to play these.)
- Pot control with marginal hands
- Sometimes you need to fold a straight on the flop
- Bottom 2 pair is no good most of the time

I agree with what Paul said. You have back door draws, top pair, and low SPR. Fire away!

Pre - I am leanings towards a fold. You still have the BB left to act and the button seems tight.
Flop - Check/fold
Turn - Check calling

I’m likely folding. I am only calling if it’s a maniac that likes to bet everything.

Update- went card dead and swore the site was rigged. Lol... Despite tilting and taking some time off I am up 223BB...

I thought thought the course was excellent. He has 50 something videos and they go into great detail. It has a lot of content so it will probably take me a while to get through it.

Currently I am in the PLO from the ground up course. I am hoping to be able to make the jump from being a regular at PLO 10 to being a regular at PLO 50 or PLO 100 by the end of the year.
So far I am using the theory taught in the course and also some theory taught in Jeff Hwangs book The Big Play Strategy. I feel this book is a must read for anyone playing low stakes PLO. I always felt I was playing wrong when I would limp or not make the GTO play. GTO is good, but it does not work against never folders. Emty does an excellent job describing this in his course.
Week 1 Results
I Deposit 50 dollars to start. I have played approximately 10-16 hours two tabling and currently have $66.19. Net = 161BB
I definitely hit some bad beats along the way, played some hands poorly, but overall I feel I have gotten my money in good more often than not and am happy with the results.

Hey Emty.. I want to compliment you on the course. I don’t know how many forums I have read about Microstakes PLO and keep hearing the correct play according to Monker is. But not once did I see anyone mention how often the opponent folded to C bets, went to showdown, etc.
GTO is definitely a must to know, but there is more that needs to be taken into account. I feel your course does an excellent job of explaining what the GTO play is and when and why you should deviate from that play.
Anyways, thanks for the course! There is a lot of content and I am sure my game will improve because of it.. Hopefully in a few months I can post my results and they are good.

Table selection is a must. I tend to like a passive calling table. There are so many maniacs because the money has no real value.

X/R = check raise. Two pair with additional outs OOP (BDFD, 3 pair) it’s usually done to keep your opponent honest.
SD=straight draw

Tough decision. UTG could be trash AA looking to see a flop cheap or hoping someone raises to come over the top and get most the stacks in pre-flop. What did the CO have?
Nov. 25, 2020 | 2:55 a.m.
If you are sure he has AA I would probably fold. He could have suited AA to your outs. Only thing you can count on is a straight or low straight draw.
Best case scenario is 60/40. If he has a K or any blockers you are looking at 65-70/30ish. I played around with and odds calculator. https://www.cardplayer.com/poker-tools/odds-calculator/omaha

It seems unreal to me that at PLO 10 at Global have players multi tabling that are up at every table, for everyday, for over a month straight.
PLO is a High variance game And even Phil Galfond would lose at a table once in a while. Global just seems shady!
I bought it at the start of last year and it has helped my game tremendously. I don't have detailed records, but I think I am up over a 100 buys in since the start of the year at PLO 10. I think it is a good course to start with based upon value compared to a mastermind membership.
