Well, a poker site should...maximise its profits. How? Reducing the skill level gap between the players. Anyhow I am looking forward to know more about the effective rake, but so far I am rather unimpressed.

Fold. Unless there is a big fish in the blinds. Ultra-tight micro siege mentality.

Great Video. Love the way you structure them.

I read it. Pretty good. Not for complete beginners though.

Iso 3B is fine imo. I would check the flop and reevaluate ott.

Congrats guys; that's awesome!

Yes cash NLHE and PLO . I moved to PokerStars this month after the cut in rakeback ( used to have up to 80%, now dropped to ~40%).

Played over 700k hands there and I did not notice nothing funny regarding their RNG. What stakes and games are you playing?

Personally I was in the same boat a few months ago, then I opted for PLO at the start of the year since the games are way softer. Still play NLHE occasionally and watching videos; when and if I'll get to higher stakes I would like to be reasonably solid in both games.

Members with an essential status account are no longer able to view the comment threads related to elite videos. A questionable decision imo.

You could also check StackAndTile.

Good solid info. Looking forward for the postflop part.

Are Win 8 tablets supported?

PLO is definitively softer at the micro in terms of average opponent skills. However as previous stated rake is huge and you need a larger bankroll compared to NLHE to get trough the swings.

You can also try EquilabOmaha. Not as good as OO but it's free.

Is there any PLO traffic on FTP? Last time I checked was a ghost town.

Ouch! I'll miss your video James.

Thanks for the advice guys.

It's .25/.50 PLO. Stacks are in bb rather than currency.

Thanks for the answers guys. Regarding the hand I opted for gii on otf for the reason explained by spassewr. I may be wrong but at this stakes (50 PLO) I am not really worried much about balancing.
