24 tabling means extremely short decision making, totally understandable. I'd try to get it on hud then as i find it very valuable to notice these tendencies. I find it mandatory for MSS as it's no brainer for preflop decisions. Even if it's not that crucial while playing 100BB stack, without it we can't optimize preflop decisions to the fullest - we might unconsciously end up 3betting more frequently against someone who opens 5% EP or 16% CO and miss spots against people with 20% EP or 40% CO (both villains can have almost exact VPIP/PFR). Devil in the details.

What i often see is people keeping bunch of unnecessary HEM stats on their huds (out of laziness or carelesness, maybe lack of how to set them up knowledge). Once again stats are just guidelines, but I believe optimizing our huds is something that is commonly overlooked and/or underestimated.

BTW great job with equilator, working on multiple ranges and understanding them is a big step to becoming a better player. #Theorycrafting appreciated

I can't help to notice that you're often cautious about 3-bet decisions vs early position openers in your videos Mike. Even if HEM stats shouldn't be absolute factors for making a decision, I would encourage you to use RFI stats in your popups more often (f.e. some 16/13 reg can have 5% EP RFI and 22% MP RFI while other one could be opening 15% from EP and 12% from MP - which is very valuable info we could miss otherwise, especially when mass-multi-tabling). That's just an example but trying to use more popups is something to consider imo.

Thanks for releasing content with uncommon spots and questionable plays (I'm not straightforward calling it mistakes because info and timing we have during a hand is much more limited than during a video review afterwards). Internet is overloaded with useless training videos with sessions when every play coach makes is working miracles. I believe we learn most of our mistakes - it's just a matter of noticing and understanding them or not (and learning nothing). Keep up the good work, cheers

I agree with 5carab on this one. You're hammer crushing these stakes GG - or the real swing is yet to come for you (wish not). 15BI at most seems really amazing since i've seen 15BI under EV in one session in NLHE even.

I'm not even trying to compare my PLO skill to yours - so whereas 30BI does fine for you, i highly doubt it would do for me at the moment.


Either way, I prefer to be safe than sorry. I have many years of online play to come and don't feel like trying hard to get to 5/10 asap. I just need to get to the skill level where i can choose from best NLHE & PLO tables, mix them - profit and get SNE on top of that (next year would be IT). So i guess i'll start small with seperate sessions, then after month or two - I'll reevaluate.

Great post, thanks.

(BTW was it regular tables 0.5/1 or Zoom?)

I'll definitely keep this in mind, thanks.

Anyone mind posting their VPP/hand on these limits with like 100k hands+ sample? There's stat for that in HM/OM2 reports...

Wouldn't Zoom be better then - for those shorter 2-4 table sessions?

I think i've got a semi-decent grasp on preflop play in my head. So wouldn't choosing Zoom be more beneficial because of getting into experience-bringing postflop situations more frequently in the same amount of time?

TBH I don't mind about rake at all, with triple supernova atm. The question is - wouldn't it be -EV to jump into too deep waters (PLO100) without real table experience?

From NLHE point of view, it's hard for me to see 40 BI as safeground in a game with higher variance. I've got few millions of NLHE hands played and 30 BI (FR) swings & 50 BI swings (SH) are not ultra rare.

Keep in mind that I'm making a living out of it - i have to be safe by using conservative bankroll management approach. I don't have some easy-go-around backup plan or rich parents to help me out if i'd ever be retarded enough to go broke. I've heard opinions (Dusty Schmidt f.e.) that 100 (up to 200) BI per limit is absolute standard - if that's your only income source.

I'm using 150BI BRM.

You say 500 VPP per day at PLO25 - how many hours/hands is that exactly?

One thing that comes to my mind is that you don't really need to balance your range at low stakes (since you posted this in low stakes section). It's much more important to be able to correctly extract value. If you really want to do it though, i'd recommend adding some hands with equity like gutshots + backdoors / overcards (AQ, KJ, you name it) to your check-raising range.
