I play 25PLO full time and I'm looking to join a study group or find a study partner that plays similar stakes who is also dedicated to improving their game.

If you work hard on your game and grind a lot then shoot me a message on RIO and we can exchange Skype names.

I dont think this is very good. We're not deep, and have very little stacks left to play. We won't hit one of our outs often enough given pot odds.

What made hands is he turning into a bluff though?

Any 2 pair combos from his flop calling range beats us, except T9. Any non nut straight combos from his flop calling range also contains enough T8, 98, 87.

Our range is also uncapped on all streets. We do have a lot of straights in our range, but if hero is c-betting flop with a merged range which I expect most regs are then we have tons of FH and trips in our turn calling range also.

So if villain is a good thinking player as OP suggests then he will understand this is not a great bluffing spot against hero's range. Also do we think he's betting turn and river polarized or merged? Neither will have enough bluffs and even though we're getting a good price to call, I think we just won't have the best hand often enough.

Thanks a lot jim, everything makes sense except this section:
'to estimate whether or not we should have a bluff raise range on the river we need an understanding of villains range for taking this line, and an estimation for how much of that range is calling vs a raise. You can do that math yourself, but your assumptions will drive the analysis.'

I'm not really sure how I could go about doing this. Would you be able to point me in the right direction in terms of video/forum post/article on the instructions for doing the above? Thanks a gain

Villain was playing 26/7, since it's 25PLO we can assume villain almost always has AA and the best KK in this spot.

Since we started the hand with 120bb stacks, we would have around 35% equity against AAxx, and we need at least 40% equity to stack off on the flop.

I feel like we're check/folding a lot of equity but at the sametime we never have the correct pot odds to stack off.

Curious as to how we should play this?

Was this a spew? How could I have played this hand better? Just folding flop?

The only read I had on the BTN was that he seemed reggish, was playing 27/16 and had a very very high c-bet %.... 92%.

CO was playing 44/11

Post | evgrinder posted in PLO: HS regs buying in 40bb

This seems to be the norm at high and nosebleeds. I play low stakes and often wondered why regs and best players in the world often buy in short at 40bb. Can someone enlighten me? :) Thanks

Nice analysis Zen as per usual. You advocate checking turn - are you c/c if villain bets pot (OTT)? If so how often do you think we will get paid when we hit our flush OTR? 

And if the hand is played as check through flop, hero c/c turn, river is a diamond - I'm assuming we'll donk here, my question is what sizing do you like? 

Thanks in advance!

Good point! didn't notice that. If our SPR were higher do we still like potting and shutting down if river pairs?

If we hit our outs on the turn. What kind of sizing do you guys like leading? 

Also if we hit our outs OTT, we lead, get called. River pairs the board - what's our gameplan here usually? Thanks guys
