Very nice video. you talked about folding BB cause of the rake, how much do you think rake will afect your winrate in this stake? and in lower stakes?

Really really good video, I liked it a lot, you make plo look really easy. :)
It's crazy that there is such good quality out there even for essential members, this vid is way better than much of the elite content on this site, so very well done both Leszek and also RIO for setting this up :)
As to the format, I usually think 4 tabling plo is way to much action and confusion going on at once, but the way you analyze it hand by hand rewinding the footage for every spot individually makes it really enjoyable and nice to watch and follow, even tho i would probably still prefer a 2 tabling video just because there will be less jumping back and forth in the footage while having the same amount of interesting spots.
Keep it up Leszek, ur doing a great job, I'm already looking forward to your next video :)

Really solid commentary explaining your thought process and exploitative adjustments. As mentioned above, I think a two table zoom video would be easier to follow for the viewer. Having a fluid experience is more preferred, but by no means do I want to detract from the excellent content.

Hi Leszek, loved the video, essential members should be really grateful for having you. What is the exact name of the stat you use for x/fold flop as PFR, I am using HM2 and the only one I have is x/fold flop oop, which I think counts when villain defends blinds and x/folds also.

@2QT2BSTR8
Of course the amount of rake you pay for every 100 hands depends on your style, but here you can find some approximate values.
PLO5k - 1bb/100 (?)
PLO500 - 5.5bb/100
PLO200 - 9bb/100
PLO100 - 13bb/100
These are huge differences and should affect your preflop strategy, esp. on the BB.

@OMGIMSEXY & @Kiwi_Shredder
I think the biggest advantage of playing 4 tables is that it really shows my real game. I was planning to make it a 4-part series, but now I'm seriously considering to make it 2-part and then make a 2-part series with playing zoom at 2 tables. That should satisfy everybody's needs.

@ Dwalk112
I use 2 different stats in my main HUD. Here you can find the exact names:
Skip Flop CB and check-fold - Single Rsd pot OOP
Skip Flop CB and check-fold - 3bet pot OOP

Hello Leszek,

Does this mean, with your winrate of 5bb/100 on plo200, that with the rake pressure on the plo 100 tables, you would be left with only 1bb/100 when this player pool would be as strong as the player pool on plo200?
Does this mean that plo50 is almost not beatable becausse of the rake pressure?
Does this mean, unless the small stakes are really, really fischy which is not the case anymore on Stars these days, that a good player with a small bankroll is not able to grind his way up simply becausse the rake pressure is to high on the lower stakes?

Cheers, Tom

Hello Leszek,

Thank you for this nice vid. It's great to see you exploite villians by their statts and explaining which combination of statts you use and why.

About 43:50 on table 4 you call a cb on a AQ2.
You size up your opponent as a tight 3-better in the blinds and give him aces and high broadways possibly with the flusdraw that's on the board. So that flop hit's his range very hard an you will be behind 80%+ of the time. But you call his cb becausse you say you have a wrap. But your 'wrap' is only 9 outs to the nut straight and 3 of those outs put a three flush on the board which your opponent could have becausse you don't have any blockers in your hand. Leaving you with only 6 clean nut outs. That's only 15% for the nuts and about 20% with the three added flushstraightcard outs which could cost you (more) money if he has that flushdraw. In my opinion you will not have enough implied odds to call his cb with your stacksize and even if you both had a big stacks, you will not get payed off enough to make this a profitable flop call.

Cheers, Tom

@Whycheck
Yeah, that's pretty close. OOP I would fold, IP I feel like there are more ways I can still win this pot. If the turn was 5h he would probably check with AA,AQ and I can check back and realize my equity. He can have air like 10% of the time and give up with this on the turn. His WWSF is 36% so I expect him to play pretty straightforward on the later streets and because of that I think I will be able to make correct decisions against him. All in all, I think call is slightly better than fold, but it's pretty close.I would fold against PSB.

Leszek Badurowicz 9 years, 6 months ago

@Whycheck
Yes, exactly! However the higher you play the better the players, imo the biggest difference in the average player skill is between PLO200 and PLO500.

nille060 9 years, 6 months ago

Hi Leszek! Just want to share that it´s first now I understand flopp and turn play so much better, all thanks to your hud! Keep up the good work!

Your two first essential PLO videos are the best so far, great concept!

Cheers / N.

At 38:15 table 4:
In position we 2barrel w/ 89JK on 4J79 vs a nitty SB flatting range.
We know he very rarely has 8T plus we block one 8. We do want to protect vs some draw completing rivers and occasional broadways that give him potential trips.
What is the reasoning for barreling w/ an 80%pot sizing, why so big? Is there any way to get any value at all from the part of his range that is behind our hand?

Leszek Badurowicz 9 years, 3 months ago

@benderino

Yeah, I agree. What I wanted to show in this hand is the exploitation of very narrow Sb calling range. But it would be even better to bet less and make him call us with like KK45. Good point!

HI LESZEK, I WONDER IF YOU HAVE TIME TO ANALIZE IN A 4-ZOOM TABLE LIVE, AS YOU DO IN THIS REVIEW?......OR YOU HAVE TO MAKE A FAST DECISIONS, SOMETIMES WITHOUT SEE THE HUDS?...KINDLE REGARDS....

Leszek Badurowicz 7 years, 11 months ago

The final decision is usually exactly the same but not always. In the video there is more time to provide you with a detailed explanation. I guess, during the SR I am able to find a little bit more arguments than during the session.
