I noticed today that the price of the "Masters" plan on IveyLeague.com is $75/mth or $500 for a year.  This is much more affordable than RIO Elite membership.  Are there any plans to reduce the RIO Elite membership price to match the "Masters" (highest plan) on Phil Ivey's site?

The main reason I am asking is because I joined this site over a year ago as an Elite member, but had to cancel my membership because I couldn't afford the $100/mth, but I would def sign up again if the Elite membership was only $500 for a year which is what IveyLeague.com is offering for their highest plan right now. 

I hate to admit it because I love this site, but if the price of the Elite plan stays $100/mth, I will probably have to switch over to IveyLeague for the more affordable "Masters" membership.

I understand that the stable of pros are different on both sites, but I don't think there's enough of a difference to justify paying more than double the price for an annual membership on RIO vs IveyLeague.

Anyone have a good 4-colour deck mod suggestion for "6 card omaha" that's compatible with FTP?  Looked everywhere and can't find anything...so frustrating.

My old deck mod was Artibus deck from tiltbuster, but it doesn't work with the 6 card omaha games...with this deck mod, only one of the six cards is shown in your hand and you can't see the other five cards. (It still works with 5-card omaha games though)

I hate the default deck the FTP software gives because it's much harder to multitable without the bright 4 colour deck of a good deck mod.

Thanks for any suggestions...

I just wanted to say that my #1 positive review about this site is the fact that the pros do a pretty good job of responding to comments of their videos. It would be nice if the maker of a video just checked back periodically to their old videos for newer comments. Some members who just joined, but watched an older video don't get the benefit of having their questions answered by that pro. Other members, like me, who are trying to learn a new game and went back a month or two to watch those videos don't seem to get a response either.

I know the pros are busy, but it doesn't seem like each pro has too many videos out where spending a couple minutes even just once a week scrolling through an old video to answer a recent post should take too much time...especially since some of the videos only have one or two comments anyway.

Overall, I am very pleased with the participation of the pros in responding to comments about their videos though.

Hey guys,

Does anyone have any advice about the EV adjusted stat in HM2 for PLO 6-max?

I'm currently running 19bi below allin EV at $0.5/$1 6-max PLO. Is this normal variance? Am I unlucky? Or is there something I'm doing wrong?

I've played 60K hands over this sample and play a 23/17/3.5 game with a 3b of 9%. Despite this stat, I'm up 3bb/100 over this sample. Is it normal to be 20bi below or above allin EV? What is the probability of this happening in only 60K hands?

I'm new to PLO so I'm not sure how to interpret this.

Thanks.

Does anyone have any advice for optimal SB and BB VPIP for PLO 6-max? fwiw, my stats so far in FTP rush PLO $0.5/$1 are 24/18/3.5 with a 9% 3b after 63K hands.

I feel like I'm spewing from the blinds, but am not sure...(I just started learning PLO two months ago). My VPIP by position is listed below:

BTN = 37.6%
CO = 24.7%
MP = 17.3%
EP = 14.7%
SB = 23.5%
BB = 21%

I'm showing a profit from every position except the blinds. Also, if anyone has an idea what a good "loss rate" from each blind is, please let me know. Right now I'm losing 55bb/100 from the BB and losing 33bb/100 from the SB.

Any advice is appreciated.

There seems to be a problem loading earlier videos after you do a filter by game type.

For example, when I filter for all the PLO videos and scroll to the bottom, the link is there to "load more videos", but nothing happens when you click on it.

To get around this, I have to load all the early videos for all the game types, then manually scroll up to the older PLO videos I'm looking for.

I was using IE9 on windows Vista, not sure if that's the problem.

I've heard some people suggest that your redline in HM (non-showdown $) doesn't really matter in order to be a winning player. I then read Dusty Schmidt's blog where he says redline is super important and should always have a positive slope like his does.

Two questions...
1) Does having a positively sloped redline increase profit?
2) Should there be redline differences between PLO vs Holdem in terms of optimal slope?

I am looking for 6-max answers if that matters at all.

If #2 isn't possible to answer, let's assume that the same player played both holdem and PLO...should he expect a similar redline in both games?
