Love the breakdown at minute 35:07, this is a spot I've been really struggling with as I transition over to PLO and something that comes up a lot!
I'm curious about the turn call vs his bet, when we x/c what other hands do we call on this diamond? Would you be able to break this down for me? Would we be x/c flop with weaker flush draws to keep flushes in our range?
Do we have implied odds vs his flush hands by the river if the board pairs or are a lot of opponents likely to tread carefully?
Nice one!

Hi Nick,
At minute 20:55 and the 4678 hand from the SB. Are you 3b this regularly from the sb? You mentioned its nice to have lower board coverage - I'm currently playing 5plo but I feel as though building a range in this sense and assuming our player pool knows what our range could look like could be quite a big assumption? I'm probably wrong though hence being at the lower level hah!
Also, the large 3b/cold 4, do you think CO drops a significant portion of his range using this so that 3b is profitable? Or because he is short he could be stacking off a bit wider?
I think my tendency is to fold a hand like this in this situation, maybe because I consider it to miss a lot of boards and create sticky flop situations if the CO is shorter and calls pre.
Would love to hear your thoughts on it

Propokertools is useful, you can plot graphs to that show your equity distributions of certain hands so you can find what scenarios suit which hand

Hi there,
I am currently a micro stakes player but have recently purchased OddsOracle and want to get to grips with the software. I would be happy to analyse hands using odds oracle for people if you guys told me what you were looking to analyse in the hands you send me?
Wondering if anyone would be interested in this?
Would help me get to understand the software more and hopefully allow you to spend less time analysing more time playing. Thanks.

I.e player type and people left to act

surely the % depends on the factors that govern it

Villain is 74/7 and is very passive.
When he checks flop it seems weak and there are flush draws and maybe Kings that call me.
When he checks again on the turn I don't think he has improved I think he would have let me know if he had a straight there as he was a straight forward passive player and I think KQ maybe bets out here not too sure? He could easily just be calling with a flush draw and maybe a pair on the flop so is it right that a bet again? if so what sizing is right?

Was just wondering what you make of a call on the river here with the nut flush blocker, the villain is 31/14. I feel like he could bluff a lot with his missed straight draws here so we can turn our hand into a bluff catcher?

Even when you have just started PLO? it hasn't been committed to memory yet and there are some things you may miss?
Feb. 6, 2017 | 12:23 p.m.
not even if it is a checklist of things to remember to think about when playing a hand preflop?
Feb. 5, 2017 | 5:15 p.m.
What factors dictate this?
Feb. 4, 2017 | 6:58 p.m.
It sounds like a checklist but if you have it written down then you don't have to remember it and run the risk of forgetting something that could be useful. I feel like designing something that is quick for you to go through and that enables you to consider all information before making a decision would benefit the game whilst maintaining adaptablity

Looking through posts here on RIO preflop hand selection is seemingly a very common problem that people have, I have seen a few people say they are still learning the ranges and loads of times where people's advice is to fold preflop so It is something that people generally struggle with and a lot of problems people have I am sure stem from playing the wrong hands pre. I feel that a checklist can systemise thinking so we can use all the information available without having to remember everything in the heat of the moment.

Definitely I play on Ipoker and compared to NLHE the PLO section isn't very well frequented even tho PLO is a game of more draws and interesting hands that I feel people will have more fun playing the holdem.

Having recently read 'The Checklist Manifesto' I felt that the use of checklists can be applied to poker. In the book he breaks down the common failures for surgery and invents a checklist in order to prevent such mistakes occurring, this seems to me like a good idea to bring into poker. As poker is a very complex game in nature but having some simple rules that often get missed. I feel like a checklist would hep to systemise the game, especially for new players such as myself.
I was thinking about generating one for things to consider when playing a hand preflop as PLO is a postflop game setting yourself up correctly to play postflop is a major advantage but I feel that many areas can be systemised like this. I was just interested in your thoughts about this? What areas do you think will correspond well to a checklist? DO people think this is a good idea?
What sort of things would people put on the checklist for preflop hand selection?
P.s highly recommend reading the book!

I was just interested in what filters people use on software like holdem manager and poker tracker in order to try and find leaks in your game? And to analyse certain spots in depth? Any advice?
Feb. 2, 2017 | 3:49 p.m.
Great thanks for all the advice guys much appreciated
Feb. 2, 2017 | 3:34 p.m.
It shows how many pot sized bets are left to go in and how much equity we need to go all in on the flop

Great cheers for the advice

It definitely looks like something you are drawing to when you call down 2 streets here and I think a lot of people at the micros are afraid when flushes hit so I think this is a profitable move.
Feb. 1, 2017 | 2:45 p.m.
Yeah those are our pot odds here. Pre-flop open raising sizing isn't something I have really altered I just open pot from every position, what is the thinking behind opening different amounts?
Feb. 1, 2017 | 2:35 p.m.
Ah ok sorry about that didn't know that it meant
Feb. 1, 2017 | 2:28 p.m.
Surely there are more factors that dictate whether to play these hands than whether or not we get 1/3 of our stack in or not?

I would have thought that his 3b calling range preflop has a lot of high card rundowns, don't see many 99 or 44 in his range though when he is betting here and would he not 3bet KK pre?
Jan. 31, 2017 | 7:04 p.m.
Do you not think he is bluffing at all in this pot?
Jan. 31, 2017 | 7 p.m.
I think I would fold preflop as we have a weakish Fd to go with a low rundown with a middle gap and we are OOP in a MW pot making it hard for us to win the pot without showdown and even if we do get to showdown we are drawing to non-nut draws most of the time which can easily be dominated.
@12:00
I get this situation and I'm never sure how to play it! I don't r/r half as much as I should I think. Is there any value to calling the bet and jamming turns at all? I find a lot of these players bet quite a lot of value hands so you don't get too many folds and I'm not a fan of just flipping a lot - run bad mind set haha! Or do you think flop jam is better because its not often they will call a turn jam - I suppose they can check a lot and you don't get to force your equity.
Thanks - loving all your videos, top value!
