The only reason why I haven't watched them is because the theory videos are old so I'm not sure if they're still as relevant. What do you think?

Feb. 21, 2018 | 9:46 a.m.

@Kalupso what do you recommend?

Feb. 20, 2018 | 12:05 p.m.

Thanks a lot for the replies, folks.
I'll watch the "Flop Strategy" series.
Any other videos that are a must watch to help me improve? Any Galfond or other videos?

Feb. 20, 2018 | 11:58 a.m.

Yes, I feel so. This is my thought while playing - I should play tight and wait for spots where I can win big. If I don't have it and they bet, I let it go. I know it's nitty but it helped me move up a bit, hence. Please suggest what should be done here.

Hey guys, kinda feeling stuck at 25z. Not able to move up. I play 3 tables and around 15/9/2 (vpip/pfr/3bet) maybe too nitty but the reason is players show up with all kinds of hands on low stakes and I feel playing just straightforward ABC might be the best way to go at these stakes. But in some spots I feel like I'm bluffing more or calling rivers more. Like I understand I shouldn't but during the play that doesn't come to my mind. Also I feel I need to work on certain lines (for example I see myself bet/folding overpairs on a flush draw board often like AAxx on J65 two tone). I think I'm losing more money in 3bet pots than I'm winning in single-raised pots.

Can anyone recommend some videos I can watch? I also have a recording of my playing so if anyone would like to see that and give feedback or would be great. TIA.

Comment | dheeraj.87 commented on Problems moving up

Thanks for the replies, folks.
The problem I'm facing is that I know I'm making these mistakes and I see them in the off-table analysis, but while playing I'm just not able to incorporate this. And sometimes I go on tilt because people show up with all kinds of weird hands, and so it becomes difficult to assign ranges. I've been having straight losing sessions, even at 2 zoom tables.
Maybe I need to be off the tables for some time and focus more on developing my game.

It would be great to know from you guys what you think is the best way to improve. TIA.

Post | dheeraj.87 posted in PLO: Problems moving up

Hey folks,

I have been playing 10PLOz and moved up to 50PLOz on Pokerstars. I started with $200 and moved up to $1800. But them tumbled down to $1000 and am feeling stuck there. I don't see my game progressing.
A few mistakes I think I'm making are:
1) Bluffing too much
2) Calling raises too much
3) Not getting enough value in some spots (maybe fear of betting assuming I'll get raised)

I play 2-3 tables of Zoom and whenever I play 3 tables, I find decisions are automatic and I'm not putting too much time thinking through situations. Whereas when I play 1-2 tables I get bored and start playing marginal hands and then start losing money.

I need your advice on what to do in this situation. Would also like to know if there are some RIO videos that can help me here.
Would appreciate any help. TIA.

Post | dheeraj.87 posted in PLO: Most useful videos

Hey guys,

So I've noticed this about my game - preflop I'm doing fine, mostly playing pots IP and sometimes OOP with strong hands. It is on some tricky boards that I sometimes get lost, especially if the pot is multiway and/or I'm OOP.
Guess I'm not sure about what is the best line to take in those spots. Can you recommend something (a video or theory or anything) to help me improve that postflop aspect of my game?

What are the best videos for overall game/plan improvement?

Thanks.

Sure, added you there.

Yes you're right.
Is the Turn call okay, in that case? I'm not sure how often he double barrels on the River

Hey, I would be interested in this too. Are you guys actively doing this? And at what times?

Since SB is so passive I didn't see much point in betting here. Or should I have bet here?
River ($1.73) T 5 T 8 J
balica248 checks, dheeraj.87 checks
Once he checks on the River after my Turn check, I think I can get some value here. Could bet around half pot to induce lighter calls from Jx/Tx/QQxx?

Hey guys,

I have recently started playing PLO10 zoom on Stars (was playing PLO5 before this) and after every session I think of doing a hand history analysis (I use PT4 and mark hands for review when the session is going on) but I'm not sure I know of a good way of doing it.
How do you guys do HH analysis? How do I know what all are the mistakes I've made?
1. Do you review all hands yourself?
2. Do you post some hands here?
3. Any Essential video suggestions to be able to do this effectively?

Comment | dheeraj.87 commented on AKo IP but..

If you check behind Flop and villain check raises Turn, I would suspect something's fishy. If he really had a good hand, why would he check twice - wouldn't he be worried of you checking behind thus missing value? I would call the check raise.

Aug. 4, 2015 | 10:10 a.m.

Numbers/ Jonas: Isn't betting here a bit better? We have Ad in our hand and we'll be able to barrel again on any diamond Turn, or take a free River on a non-diamond Turn.
What if we check behind, Turn is a blank and villain bets?

Aug. 4, 2015 | 10:07 a.m.

Comment | dheeraj.87 commented on Good turn cbet?

What's villain's open % from LP and AF? I'm more inclined to flat AJs against aggro villains.
As played, the raise size is pretty big pre - make it like $3.6-3.8.
Bet smaller on Flop - like 50% - pretty dry flop. Turn bet is fine.

Aug. 4, 2015 | 10:02 a.m.

Comment | dheeraj.87 commented on JJ on BTN VS 3Bet

IP I just like flatting JJ pre to keep his weakest hands in.
As played, standard.

Aug. 4, 2015 | 9:53 a.m.

PF sizing is too large - make it around $1 here.
Flop bet is standard and so is Turn bet - I would bet larger on OTT though - like 55-60% pot.
We can't be good at showdown a lot of times going by the action - so we bet here or not depends on a few stats like villain's WTSD%, W$SD%, Fold to River Cbet %.

Aug. 4, 2015 | 9:51 a.m.

I think the Flop bet is fine. We just have so much equity on this Flop that a Flop bet is essential.
I would bet again on the Turn - if your hand is good enough to call a bet, why not bet yourself? You have fold equity when you bet, but not when you call.
If the villain calls Turn, I don't think he is going anywhere a lot of the times on this River.
Yes, he could have one diamond type of hands (say JT with one diamond that Turned a gutshot also) but he will fold most of those if you bet River and call with most pairs if he has them.
So it's either check River or bet large (like 60-70% of pot or even bigger) - I am more inclined to check in case there's a check behind cuz we have a hand with a showdown value here.

Aug. 4, 2015 | 9:47 a.m.

Comment | dheeraj.87 commented on AKo IP but..

Why are you not betting the Flop?
If it is wet, you should be betting MORE than you would be betting if it was dry. Not betting at all is the worst here when we have TPTK. You are giving a free price for the villain to chase his draws, and on this board he has a ton of Jx/ 9x etc type of hands that he will call with.
Bet like $1.1-1.2 here. The Turn brings additional draw possibilities and I will be inclined to bet again. Pot's around $2.9 OTT - bet around $1.9-2.
The River is a safe card and would def bet again, although small (to get value from weaker Kx/ Jx/ 9x), around 1/2 pot will do.
