How is having a 100 buyin bankroll trolling? It's smart. It's easy to go on multiple 20 buyin downswings at plo50 let alone plo500. If you don't want to move down all the time, 100 buyins is smart.

GameTheory what the heck is that?

Yeah, I agree calling isn't as bad as I initially thought due to possible bluff spots. In fact I now think calling is probably close in ev to a 4b here and a 4b is way higher variance.
Do we ever consider folding this kind of a spot? Like if we have maybe AA72r? Or is that still a call?
Sept. 2, 2014 | 7:11 a.m.
I can't imagine this spot isn't worthy of any thought... any comments?

Kinda of off topic but why are we opening this marginal hand with such aggro regs behind us?

The thread starter is clearly not a native english speaker and it's probable that he's not trolling. From previous posting activity, he clearly associates winning the most with being 'the best' at poker. This entire mindset is incorrect due to it being basically 100% results-oriented thinking.
Basically "daegyung", stuff happens in poker that is out of our control (variance). This has a large impact on how much we win or lose not just how good we are. Phil cpuld still be among the top players in the world even though he has been losing recently.

Probably a mental leak but for play PLO, I used to check every 5 minutes. I now check at the end of a session or when I'm taking a break.

Preflop, just mash this in vs a super wide guy, you'll have enough equity. Postflop, given how wide his range is and how often you think we might make a mistake on the turn and just to protect our hand, potting is again best. These maniacs are fun to play against because formerly decent hands become very strong.

Yeah it would seem nitty but a nitty response is correct vs a nitty betting range.
June 24, 2014 | 12:41 p.m.
Yeah Tom, I screwed this one up bad I think. Looking back even if stacks were 100bb deep and the turn SPR was like just under 2, I think I still would have had to fold vs a nitty range like his.

Hey guys I was reading the comments in this video thread: http://www.runitonce.com/pro-training/videos/rast4/ and I accidentally flagged a post by Brian Rast when I meant to hit the reply button. Now I can no longer read the comment. Can this be fixed?
May 31, 2014 | 12:27 p.m.
Well if you believe he plays the nut flush blocker the same exact way, good call. Otherwise, it's hard to say because some players are so unbalanced they only have the Nuts in this spot. If we look at it from a balanced play/GTO perspective, then we have to make this call down because of (5hearts) card removal and the fact that we have the 2nd nuts effectively.
April 30, 2014 | 3:56 p.m.
Thanks for the thoughts Edge. I actually like this idea quite a bit. Actually yeah at these stakes a bluff-raise range is probably unnecessary on this board.
April 29, 2014 | 3:40 p.m.
Yeah thanks for the comments guys, I don't like my play because so much of his range is draws that complete on that turn. Given that, I like a x/c vs small bet and x/f vs pot. The times we get him to fold an overpair+fd or some weak made hand+draw is not enough to outweigh the times that we get destroyed by a straight.

Anyways, we make the defend here and I choose to x/r the flop as we have fold equity and we have quite a few good turn cards we can barrel on. He calls which I think will be with a range of mostly overpair+fd, T7xx, combo draws. I think he would mostly 3bet any sets or T7xx+high fd so I remove almost all strong made hands from his range. The turn is a question mark for me. Assuming he jams over our bet with 45xx and 98xx, what should we do here?

Not sure what the complaint is here, you're up money and 26k hands isn't a terribly large sample size. There was also a huge downswing in the middle that looks like it could be tilt/bad play. Just focus and study/keep playing. Don't worry about the short term results for now.

Hey guys, so I usually play PLO100 and this was part of a climb-the-ladder challenge. No real reads on villain, he's playing 20/14 over 140 hands and pfr of 22% in MP. He pots the flop and I have not seen anything to see if it's his standard sizing but his range should be deadly potting into 2 players after opening MP. Standard call.
The turn is where it's gross. We have Top 3pair and we block most sets on a Double FD board. But he pots and I wanted to fold really bad vs this sort of nitty reg because a lot of them checkback draws on the turn/barrel smaller sizing. At PLO100, I'm happy jamming this turn but here..... Thoughts?

Hi Stefan, I like your videos a lot and I just have a question. At about 18:30, on the right table we call a 3bet pre 3way w/AcKcTs8h and the flop is Js5c9d. The 3bettor in the BB checks and we check and the button bets biggish, 35 into 48. The BB calls and we are getting 3.5:1 with our Nut OESD and Nut BDFD. Why do we fold here? Is it because we are afraid of hands like KQTJ/KQT9 that duplicate our draws and steal our outs? If so, what price would you peel here?
April 18, 2014 | 2:16 p.m.
Hahaha, I ran out of timebank on that hand but I wanted to jam. I had AKK9 w/ no hearts but I thought you would have zero boats in your range given board lowness. I also considered flatting turn and jamming river, given how credible it would look. Unfortunately I ran out of time bank because I was playing 2 tricky x/r spots on 3 other tables at the time.
As for the 3betting, I tried to 'take it up a notch' vs you as I keep a well balanced 3bet range vs good players/players I respect. As for the session ugh, I lost 10.5 buyins in just 2k hands so not the most fun experience.
April 11, 2014 | 3:44 p.m.
Heheh, so the board was 9429hhhs so monotone flop paired turn, I was oop and bet/folded the turn.
April 11, 2014 | 3:20 p.m.
Hey Tom, I'm a PLO 100 reg and funnily enough I was experimenting with PLO10 on the same exact day you were. I said hi to you in chat and then you proceeded to run sick good vs me, lol. You may have also pulled off a sick bluff on me as well if memory serves. Regardless it was fun.
Same for me, not sure if this feature even works.
