Transition, learning PLO
What I have been doing lately to learn PLO.
- Watching PLO video's on RIO :).
- Reviewing every session I play.
- Analyze with PPT
- Post hands that I have played
Although I have been improving overall, I would like to add some focus to my learning process. Which aspect of the game u consider most important to start with ?
- Pre-flop (defending,calling,3bet ranges IP/OOP)
- Postflop (IP/OOP)
- 3bet pots
Somethings to add??
Maybe u guys can share your thoughts on the transition from NLHE to PLO, and how do u guys learn/approach the game?

Tight/solid preflop play will eliminate many such spots and cut down on the number of costly postflop mistake you make. You might give up a little theoretical profit, but that's fine if you aren't good enough postflop (yet) to realize this profit anyway.
More specifically, open tight/nutty ranges from EP and don't flat lots of 3-bets OOP. You should open a lot on the BTN, though. Playing like a nit OOP will steer you clear of many difficult postflop decisions where a beginner is likely to screw up. As you get better postflop, loosen up more preflop.
This is low-hanging fruit, and will make your life easy in the initial learning process. Nit away, head high, and you'll keep afloat as you learn the ropes. ;-)
The variance can be high, but positional stats in HEM will be pretty useful, you can deduce quite a lot of things
in a 20k hand sample if you have enough experience with it.
As for general strategy for applying into games, ZenFish said it pretty well, play solid like 20/16 or sth until you get comfortable with the stuff above.
I am learning the hard way.. tuiton fee.
