I have one question.
I was playing a short session of zoom on my phone.
I had TT22ss at utg. I was thinking about open raising but decided to fold. If I had ttjj or 99tt I would have definitely raised. Was it a bit nitty to fold here? And since I was playing zoom on mobile I really had no reads. All I know is that if I'm opening at utg, I should open stronger and open atleast 3bb to compensate for my weak position.

Is pretty cool that you began at 10plo and worked your way up and also achieved supernova.
It's inspiring.

Oop versus players who have position on you and your hand does not do well multyway oop, I'd fold pre versus the 3bet.

With trips and a good kicker and decent side cards out for a boat, no, I wouldn't fold on his spot.

Happy holidays.
It's 2plo. Just bet for value. I wouldn't mind betting 2/3 psb ott but I really don't think you made any mistake.

It would be nice if we had a read on the oppenent.
You have overpair plus but fd on the flop and when oppoent reraises, I'd put him on set and maybe 2pair. Versus set we are 35/65 and we are flipping versus 2pair. I usually get it in here too but would like to know what other would do on this spot. A common spot though.

When I first played live a few times, I began to feel very hot in the face like I could feel my face get very warm whenever I got delt a great hand. So, I started to wear shorts and skirts and loose tops to lessen the hot flashes Id feel. And no, I'm not going thru menopause ;)

Hi Rama.
Yes. I talked to jonna and some of the members. The coaching looks really good because he will make sure we have solid fundamentals for plo. And he will definitely address some common leaks we may have. I just need to see if I can get an early Xmas present. ;)

I know, pathetic volume this time around. about 10 hours of grinding.
I feel pretty good at the tables when I'm playing but I haven't had much free time in a while.
I've been working quite a bit and I'm having fun at work. My coworkers are awesome and my clients are very nice and big tippers yay!! ;)
Also, the last few weeks, I've been going out alot so grinding has not been at the top of my priority lately. I think the job is giving me a bit of comfort so that I don't have to grind as much.
I'm presently waiting for a big present from my cousin from overseas so that I can get some coaching with Jonna. I have my fingers crossed.

That was great!
It helps me on a comment you made about putting opponents on a range.

I agree.
You are just starting. You want to improve. Who cares about br when you start.
I'd recommend starting with 1-2 tables and really apply what you study.
I also play plo micros. Here's something that no one has told me. I suck at plo. You suck at plo. Most people who play the micros play like crap but we all think we can play like the coaches or people at the mid or high stakes. When rio coaches or the pro play the lower stakes, they can multitable because they have proven that they can beat the lower stakes so they CAN multitable.
But us players at the micros haven't proven anything yet. We are studying and trying to understand the basics. Do you think we can learn and take in everything by multitabling? If you can good luck, but I think most of us are dreaming if we think we are capable of beating our stakes and win in the long term and improve by multitabling.
Just try playing 1-2 tables. It's fun and you will improve so much faster.

I'd recommend starting with playing strong starting hands pre like opening only premium hands ep and open up slightly in lp.
As you feel comfortable with the starting hands, start to open up in lp but not at ep.
It's how I started then moved onto the flop. ;)
Nov. 30, 2014 | 4:33 p.m.
Yes!
Got to love that when on some hands and versus certain players we play against the players range and our perceived range and not really considering our hole cards.

Cool thanks for those tips.
I'm not too concerned about being balanced but putting my opponents on a range is what I'm finding very interesting. I'll start playing with propokertools and start playing with numbers ;)

Hi I know it's low volume for most grinders here on RIO, but I do only play 2 tables and no zoom. It's about 18 hours of grinding for me. I also started working full time at a hair salon because I don't have a bankroll where I can start withdrawing yet ;).
Anyways, I've been running quite good. I don't play abc. I just play according to the reads I get at the table and by seeing the type of hands opponents have at showdown. Sometimes, it may seem like I'm making a hero call when I don't have pot odds to call but I'm making certain questionable calls only because I've seen some opponents making their hands into a bluff.
Oh and all hands are at 2PLO ;)

I was thinking about our opponents' range or would that be too complicated.

I usually think about ranges when I see a flop, like if I think it hits my opponent's hand depending on the type of player on a wet or dry flop.
But, recently through reading the forums, ranges is popping up quite a bit.
I was wondering at what stakes should us micro PLO grinders begin to practice building ranges?

I only play plo so I have no idea about the state of nl on ps.
Nov. 27, 2014 | 2:09 a.m.
Thanks, I'll try it. ;)

How do you post them?
Ty ;)
Nov. 26, 2014 | 2:09 a.m.
Intersting.
So if you feel that you are not having a good session, even if you are not down, you will quit a session?

If they are stuck in 10plo over 2 years then that's a definition of a fish. ;)
They maybe regs at their particular stake but if they can't get past 10plo = fish
And playing against nits at micro plo is fun because they play fit or fold, or they try to float and fold to second barrels. So I'll rephrase them as tight fish.

Hi,
Enjoy your blog.
Is it easy to cash out on bovada?
Thanks ;)

I agree with tonic about not needing to balance at 25plo.
I would probably focus on bet sizing big in wet flops and smallish on dry flops.
Personally, if you know your opponent is a reg then what type of hands was he opening in late position? Is he positionally aware (I find most players even at 25plo are not)? Does he call 3bets with any junky hands or with rundowns or with kkxx type of hands, etc? Does he call tight to 3bets in position or loose?
These are the questions I like to ask and it helps me focus on the opponents range and not mine.
By checking back that flop, what was your goal?
Your oppenent bet sizing was small and it tells me he maybe lost on the flop because he didn't bet large on a wet flop.
What makes you think that this flop doesn't hit your range? Has your opponent seen your hands at showdown after you made a 3bet with middlish rindowns?
At this stake and below, betting large on wet flops and small on dry flops will keep your hands disguised versus most regs.
No need to balance. If you do, I think you will be over thinking each hand. Don't level yourself when most players are barely managing to put you on any range.

PLO micros at PS = fish
I find regular 6 max ring games very fun because of so many people who don't know plo or is just starting out.
If co and bu are positionally aware, I wouldn't put them on aaxx, can be wide if they are p aware.
I don't think any nut fd or 9 combo draw will fold so I'd bet close to pot on this flop to make them pay for any draws.
On the turn, the board is so wet and that bet sizing signals weakness for me. Even if I had aaxx with fd, I'd be betting close to psb in that turn,
