You've only got $900 more behind after calling and the pot will be $950, id just jam here and take your equity.

JNandez is a racist, playing a double suited hand privileges certain suits over others, JNandez needs more hand strength diversity.

When the site launches I think we should definitely do all we can to help it get up and running. Wear t-shirts and tell people at your local casino, spread the word as much as possible

I also am too think must have person all the big game everyone have one million and superstars life big balla poker

Before I comment one of the likes is from me, but I'd hope not. I have RIT permanently checked when I play pokerstars but I'd like to think features like that were not implemented in the first release of the software. Every little thing like that takes time to develop. I want his site up and running sooner rather than later.

I'm sure he's thought about it and has some ideas, I'd rather know now what he's thinking. Phil?

@Phil Galfond - How are you going to structure the rake / rewards system at RIO? I think this is one of the main reasons a lot of people will switch to your site and also encourage others to switch when the time comes, especially given Stars recent abandoning of rake-back for regulars. Can you address it now?

I'm curious about this as well, AQ92ds a fold in position vs a 3 bet, even when it's likely to go multiway?

Sure, unless the site removed the fold button from your options, but I wouldn't.

Hero checks, BN bets $45.65, Hero calls

Ok. I think 5bb+ at 500 and above is possible for the best regs, of course at those stakes winning those amounts you are talking about some of the best players in the world.

At 200 zoom the biggest winners are probably winning 5-10bb/100, somewhere in there.

Because PLO is far more complex than NLHE there are so many spots that haven't been solved and everyone knows as "standard" yet. If you can figure some of them out you can develop and maintain a decent sized edge.

Also a lot of the newer information on PLO will not be told in training videos. Even in the training videos here I would be very surprised if guys like Odd_Oddsen and other high stakes players were giving away all their secrets. The only one who would be telling you everything is Galfond, the other top guys will be reverting to a fairly ABC game when making videos. Still some good stuff, but not the best stuff that you have to figure out on your own :)

I'm sure, it's about tree fiddy :)

Most of the best regs have a winrate of about 3.5bb/100

no set times, but most days for 6-8 hours, just whenever im playing

It's close, it depends on the lineup. With a fish at the table I'd open this, without a fish I'd fold.

My UTG opening range is generally all the big hands you would expect (AA, KK, AKQx etc) and then when it comes to smaller rundowns I open them if they are double suited or perfectly connected, eg 4567ss open and 4678ss fold.

I don't for a second think it is a perfect strategy but it is a simple way to keep some hands in your range that give you board coverage on low flops.

Firstly if you c-bet the BTN will almost definitely be raising most of his pair+FD, wrap+FD hands, QJThh, KQJhh etc. I don't see why he would just call those. Safe to say he even jams hands like 987hh the majority of the time.

That being said I check / fold the flop your hand for the reasons you stated. Most of the deck is horrible for you on future streets and is going to be too difficult to play.

Pre-flop seems fine but flop is definitely a fold. He has you crushed way to often and I think the time he has 4567ds and your ahead he just check folds because from his perspective the board hits your range pretty well too.

Flop is a call obv, K or Q gives you an easy turn stack off, a Jack is a good card a well and you can bluff / semi bluff a lot of the straight completing cards if villain checks turn. Not to mention you have 2 x BDFD

Combination of reasons.

I think his range is capped at AK so we only lose to 1 thing. Even AK bets the turn some amount of the time.

Our range is somewhat capped imo. I would think we are leading sets and two pairs on the turn a decent percentage of the time.

If he shows up with AK+ here I would make a note for next time and not feel to horrible about it.

We are also getting a decent enough price.

I think villain is capped at AK. A6 bets the turn imo. I'd call.

Min 3 bet the turn is an option. He is likely to call with all his draws.

I'd never really considered 3 betting until midori mentioned it and why. Midori raises some valid points imo, knock out bb, A/K blocker, cleaning up our non nut suit. I don't think I'd like to 3 bet it every time because we will end up 3 betting too much but against some opponents who 4 bet rarely and fold to a lot of c-bets it could be a good idea.

Edit: I'd like to add that if MP (25% open) raised and we are in the bb I would call 100%, whether it would be going multiway or HU.

PLO100 now is probably as tough as PLO400 was 5 years ago so in that sense yes :)

By jamming MP will fold everything except a set and the NFD imo. If you call you get him to come along with a bunch of other weaker stuff. If you call and MP calls you will have about $340 left into a pot of about $245 so playing the turn OOP isn't horrible. He is also somewhat likely to jam the NFD on the flop himself if you call so you don't have to worry about running into it on the turn as much either. All of your 2 pair cards are clean as well.

Turns such as 3,5,6,A aren't good but it's only 12 / 45 cards. If the turn is one of those cards and you check then MP pots you can probably fold as well because he is less likely to bluff with a dry sidepot / one player all in already.

Overall it probably doesn't make too much of a difference but you give MP a chance to come along with a few weaker hands, say 4567cc, Qxxx no clubs, Jack high FD etc, by calling instead of raising.

I think sets should be a raise, two pairs should be a call and draws a mixture of call and raise depending on their strength, calling the weaker / likely dominated draws and raising the stronger ones. I'd raise almost any two pair + FD, the only 2 pair + FD I would consider not raising in a T5 two pair with a small flush draw, even then I might end up raising it because of its reverse implied odds on future streets.

The only part of this I think might need some explaining is why two pairs, especially JT, are a call. The reasons are 1 - If you get sfor example JT88 or even your actual hand here, KJT5, all in on the flop you are never in great shape. It is very likely going to be against a hand like AAKQ, or AAdd or QJ9dd and also the occasional JTdd all of which are either flipping against you or have you crushed. Reason 2 is that on turns naked JT does a lot better against this same range with one card to come when the turn is a blank. With naked JT you can fold on say turn A, K, Q, 9 diamond when he bets and jam over a bet on offsuit 2,3,4,6 and probably 7s and 8s as well. Also if the turn is a offsuit 2,3,4,6 he is also likely to bet his weaker, non flush draw AA and KK again which he would have otherwise folded on the flop to a raise so you get another bet out of those hands. He is also more likely to call off the rest of his stack with a hand like AAK or KK9 no flush draw on the turn after having bet because of his pot odds.

Basically by calling you can see a turn and either fold and save some $$ if it is a bad card or get your money in with a lot better equity on a good card with a mediocre two pair hand on this type of board.

You'll run into KK or other boats sometimes but it's a pretty good hand to have in your river CR range (as a bluff). I think raising river is better than calling, you get shown AQ a lot imo.

No worries about not posting other win rates, thanks for the reply, looking forward to part 2.
