Nice video. I've been getting a lot more into getting these kind of reads and using them to exploit lately.

Thank you for your answer.
Also, how do you do the calculation where it shows how many hands the range contain. The one you use when calculating FE. Thank you!

How much time would you say you spend on studying compared to playing?

Generally don't try to "represent" too much... At least choose the players you are doing it against. It's tempting to represent top set on A83r in a 3b pot against a 60/8 player but if he likes his hand he doesn't care what you are representing.

Hi RIO.
I know you are more than capable of finding pros on your own, but I'd just offer a recommendation:
Quadrophobia (2+2 & www.quadrophobia.com) is interested in making PLO videos on applied theory (I know this from here http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/members/182781/). I have received coaching from him myself and he is simply the nuts.
In the span of 2012 he went from playing 50PLO to 1000PLO.
Just wanted to throw it out there. He doesn't know I write this, so it's not some sort of self-advertisement.
I think RIO needs more videos on PLO theory, right now it's mostly reviews and live play (although very good).
Regards

And it would be really interesting if you talked about your plays in that videos as "Before I would have raised here, but now I'd rather flat"-kind of way...

Good job Sam. Would really like to see a video with your new approach.

Hi.
I'd like to see more theory videos like "Advanced Theory Principles" by Sean Lefort if it is impossible.
Thanks!

Extremely aggressive players potting the flop every hand at lowstakes PLO...

Hi.
Today I noticed that I'm no longer neither an elite member or an essential member? Isn't it renewed automatically?
I was planning on keep being an recurring elite member, but somethings must have gone wrong.

No, don't stop please. People who find it boring can just stop watching when the action stops. I think it was perhaps the best and most instructive part.

Sorry I'm replying to you napsus, just hoping Dan sees it too.
In the overview of all the videos, it says it's only 27 mins long.

Great video, Sam. Your videos (particularly your speech) has gotten a lot better since your first videos. Easier to follow and you don't talk as fast anymore. Really enjoying your videos since I play stakes similar to yours.

I know it's not like "Play with agg. factor 3,21 and you play perfect poker", but I'm just looking for some general guidelines what about it should be. Thanks.

Hi.
I've been playing around with my playing style lately. Started out playing too passively (as I suspect a lot of people do) with an agg. factor around 1.5, then overcompensated by playing too aggressively with an agg. factor of around 5. This lead to me getting blown of my hand a little too often and getting picked off on the river a lot. I know I also need to improve my hand reading to pick the spots to apply pressure. Working on that at the moment.
Right now my agg. factor is around 2.3 and I'm doing pretty well. I still think I could lose a bit less money in none showdown winnings though. My showdown winnings and green lines are very healthy though, so maybe it's fine. I suspect it's not desirable at all to have a positive red line at these stakes.
What do you guys think is the optimal aggression factor for the stakes I play? I know it's player dependent and I think I've played a little less aggressive over christmas than I normally would, because there was a lot of people playing who called down a lot and very light.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you all of you. I started going through hands and quickly began to use OddsOracle while doing so, and I'm sure it will really help me out. Again thanks for your answers.

Hi.
I started playing PLO in August (haven't played any form of poker before besides a month of MTT and a little bit of NLHE before switching to PLO), so all my (or lack thereof) poker abilities comes from PLO.
Over the course of those five months I've played around 200.000 hands (was 1-2 tabling in the beginning to give a lot of thought to each decision, am 4 tabling now) and have moved up from 10PLO to 50PLO. I am currently beating 50PLO but don't have a big enough sample to know by how much or if I'm actually beating it. I've been running pretty good lately.
The way I've been learning besides playing, and reading and posting on various forums, is having watched all of Phil's PLO videos from BlueFire and of course I'm a member of RIO and watching all PLO videos here. I have watched some other video series too, like the Vanessa Selbst 2x6 series.
I think the time has come to start studying more off the table, but I don't really know how to approach it. I bought the Pro PokerTools app and have played around with it a bit, but I really want to approach it more systematically or have some kind of a study plan.
Since I haven't played NLHE and gone through a learning process with that game, I'm pretty much at lost when it comes to where to begin.
How do you guys study the game besides watching videos?
Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I've taken some of the classes now. Really good stuff. I'm having trouble relating it to poker for now. Does anyone have any material where GT is discussed in relation to poker? Thanks

Hi.
Yesterday when I posted a hand I discovered a bug in the hand converter.
HH was "Player: raises 1$ to 1.5$"
The hand converter made it come out like: "Player raises 11.5$".
Just so you know.

SB is HUGE fish playing 90/17 and never folds to cbets.
CO opens 45% of hands from CO and BTN.
They are both passive postflop.

I 3b, because I'm pretty sure I'm ahead of their ranges. SB will never fold, but I may fold out CO which is fine and let me play the hands HU IP against the fish.

Cbet with a NFD and a gutshot. Please comment on the sizing. I think maybe bet bigger because of the wet board, but I also want to give myself a reasonably price to draw.

I turn another gutshot. This is where I'm in doubt. I'm not sure I like my bet because I have almost no FE as he generally calls very light and wants to go to showdown with all of his hands. Should I check back and realize my equity instead of betting? On the other hand I have a very strong draw and would want to build a big pot for when I hit one of my 17 (not all clean) outs.
I generally have problems playing these drawing hands and very often find myself with nothing on the river having put a lot of money in the pot. My plan is to give up if I brick the river because he will call me down very ligth, so I don't think a bluff is going to work very often.

He makes around 4bb's (at 100bb stacks) with his call assuming he plays perfectly on the flop. And that's a good thing about these hands, they are pretty easy to play on the flop. Of course you'll sometimes run into a bigger flush, but that's a cooler in those spots.
