Thanks for the update, I am interested in anything you put out going forward so keep the community posted. (FYI I remember a couple of interviews you did with TeamNevergiveup on twitch/youtube a couple of years ago which was where I 1st came across you.) And in general, if I see an interview with some1 who I like the sound of, I hope they do well. (Even if some time soon we may be playing in the same stars games ;) )

I've got a general poker q (EDIT: let's make it 2.) and was hoping you could help me with:

i) is the nature of a PLO100 zoom session different from the same length PLO100 session @ regular tables with the same players involved in each?
What I'm trying to get at is, are your decisions @ a zoom table EXACTLY the same as @ a regular/static table?
The problem I'm having with thinking about zoom is the dynamic nature of the game (where -opponents come and go -seat order changes -things are happening in hands you can't view) and it's confusing me a bit so I'm just looking for some tips to think better about this format.

ii) I'm potentially thinking about PLO a bit incorrectly. Now, it's the game I have chosen and intend to stick with. I would like to be good @ mtt's AND cash games but am totally aware I am just a beginner though I love poker.
So I'm looking @ the numbers around the game and see there are approx 270,000 different starting hand combo's. (With I think 1326 in NLHE. And possibly a fair few more if playing 5-card PLO.) I start to think it would be nice to know what I'd do with EVERY starting hand combo preflop and the same on the flop. Which is completely ridiculous and unrealistic if there's 270,000 so how do I a) think better about this? b) think correctly about this?

Thanks

i) There are differences between the two games (Zoom people fold more, non-zoom you can achieve higher winrates) - I wouldn't think for too long about this though.

ii) Combinatorics can be useful, but there's so many better ways to use your study time. Ideally, focus on high frequency spots first, then try to figure out an executable strategy for all the 'nodes', starting with the ones where the most money gets wagered. (like B-B-B or XR-B == "bet-bet-bet", "check-raise-bet")

Hey Andreas,

Nice work & cool new HU series! I appreciate your thought process,
A big take away for me--->in some card removal/blocker situations, we gotta fire off and capitalize fold equity even with trash hands especially if it is checked to later streets.

Thanks!!

Thanks for the reply Andreas.

It definitely has given me something to think aboout.

What's on the comprehensive list of most common spots? (Is general c-betting strat too wide of a definition to be considered a spot? Then how focussed should I get?)
