Pot Repot

Hi guys, I've been playing PLO for a few years now and have recently started playing 5c PLO. But when it comes to studying, there's hardly any 5c content (videos, solvers, pre flop tools) out there. One thing I'm getting a hang of is PPT. Is there anything else out there I can use? Also, for self-study, what's the best way to analyse the hands I've marked in my database?

It would be really helpful if someone could guide me in the right direction.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm a full time professional, with online PLO being my main game. I mostly play $200plo upto sometimes $600plo.

I've recently started playing 5 card PLO and feel it's a lot more different from 4c PLO than I initially thought. To get me upto speed with some basic 5c PLO strategy (preflop and postflop), I beleive the most efficient way is to work with a coach who has experience in both playing and coaching this game.

Are there any RIO coaches who offer 5c PLO coaching?

Thanks

Hi guys...I've just subscribed to Vision and need some help to get started.

Spot: We have 8765hh OOP in a 3B pot (CO vs BTN). We check call a 50% pot bet on flop with bottom pair + flush draw. We check the turn and face a pot size bet.

Now Vision is suggesting to call if we also had the BDFD on the flop and fold if we didn't.

Question 1) Can someone please explain why is the BDFD important?
Question 2) Even within the double suited combos, Vision suggests to pure call with 8h7h6s5s and split call/fold with the 8h7s6h5s and 8s7h6h5s combos. It would be great if someone could throw some light on this as well.

Thanks a ton!

HI guys,

I've only watched the series till Video 10 (Merged flop raising).

When we're following a merged raising strategy on dry flops from Big Blind, do we ever Check Call with any hand? If yes, then what kind of hands can we call with on dry flops?

One example Peter mentioned was a hand like 99 on J73. Are there any other hand categories in our continuing range that we should not raise?

Thanks

I'm trying to add some hands in my 3betting range. Is this hand good enough to 3bet from bb vs button open?

How should I proceed on this flop with 2.5 SPR? I thought top pair + nut gutter + BDFD is good enough to get it in here.

Tried converting a live hand from one of the sites, not sure how it works.

Villain is a solid regular in my casino and plays Laggy.

Should I have check called flop, check potted on turn?

As played, can I call on river with Q flush blocker?

Not sure how to play with 77/88 with 20b stack vs an early position raise.

We can't flat call as we don't have enough implied odds to set mine with only 20bb stack. There will most probably be couple of overcards on the flop and we would keep guessing once villain cbets.

I think 3bet shoving is a bit spewy vs a tight early position raising range. We are never getting called by worse.

Should we fold?

Have been trying $1 4-max shootout satellites for the upcoming $5M Sunday million unsuccessfully so far. That's when I heard about holdem resources push fold calculator. However, I have one doubt about the strategy this calculator suggests.

Input: 4 players, starting stacks 500, blind 25/50/10, prize structure 100% to the winner.
Strategy: CO - Push 32.1%, BU - Push 39.7%, SB - Push 71.9%

Then I noticed there is a default prize structure given in the calculator (50%, 30%, 20%). So out of curiosity I decided to use that as well.

Input: 4 players, starting stacks 500, blind 25/50/10, prize structure 50%, 30%, 20%
Strategy: CO - Push 42.1%, BU - Push 53.5%, SB - Push 100%

The calculator suggests a wider pushing range if the prize is distributed between top 3 players, as compared to a winner take all structure. This somehow feels counterintuitive to me. Shouldn't we be willing to gamble a bit more in a winner take all structure, to accumulate more chips before the blinds go up (and hence push a wider range)? In the 2nd scenario, shouldn't we be willing to let go some tiny edges in order to move up the pay scale and let others go bust before us (and hence push a bit tighter range)?

I'm very new to online MTTs and therefore have been asking very basic questions here. So far people have been very helpful and polite here. I've always played cash home games with friends so far (simple ABC poker still works there). If you guys think there is a better place than here for these questions, please guide me in the right direction.

Thanks
