hey guys
been totally offline for couple of weeks due to some health malfunction going on. I don't think my laptop had such a long break ever before. within two weeks it worked just about 10minutes heh.
Anyhow, no i feel much better and i ready to work on everything. Balancing life and poker her in asia.
Just before this unwanted break i started to go gym again, managed to hit three sessions at my local muay thay gym and im now ready to continue.
Overall i want to train 3 per week in the gym, then run 3x per week non gym days and 1 per week go to pool for some proper swimming.
Poker is something i need to take very seriously thus i will treat it like any job, with all the warm ups and coold downs, studying and grinding i want to invest around 8 hours per day on poker.
I will kick everything off with couple of videos and some reading and then put in volume every day.
So far I've been slowly but steadily losing and i really hope that by the end of first quarter of the year i will show some improvements.
oh yeah, i decided to chunk year in 4 quarters and each quarter have early and late stages. early means first half of the quarter. So no i am still on early first quarter of the year.
With this system i will measure my progress.
all time PLO

Watched 4th video: ProView Taming Sam (part 1) though this time made no notes. It is a 4table review and lots of loose, deep ante action. I really enjoyed just watching and listening and trying to understand hero and hes actions but of course Phil made it so much easier to understand everything. Overall a great video and lots of information and i really enjoyed to watch and get more insight about loose play.

$1/$2 6-Max Zoom HA Live Session (part 1) (48 min) by Phil Galfond
Peoples SB calling range is pretty strong in general
- Hero opens OTB w/ K964r and decides to chheck back on T7h4h vs SB as it quite connected board
- turns OE and calls SB stab and finds a call on K river
- explains the call OTR that many draws missed and there are very few hands that beat us at this point
Opens A987ds on MP - CO calls. flop: KQ7
- hero takes chk/fold line and explains that;
- fact that opponent did not 3bet pre will have many weak Kx in his range
- Also some singe suited rundowns / sets whit what V will not 3bet pre in fear of getting 4bet
- Overall this board connect well with pre cold calling range and cbeting this 100% would be a mistake
Lot of people will check back IP because its possible to see a free turn +
- But will CB everything OOP b/c they don't get to see a free turn if they check +
- And they don't want to be blown off by between 10-40% eq
Hero opens AKdJ7 on MP - BB calls - flop: Ad64
- Hero explains that cb is good cince we have A and Kd;
- So there is very few hands that V can c/raise with
Hero isolates/punish BTN limp from BB w/ QT73ds
- allthoug pot is HU already hero want to build a pot vs weak player
- OTF KT8r hero cbets and V calls.
- OTT hero barrels with a queen blocker and explains that;
- he thinks that V will call flop w/ 1pair and folds;
- calls tunr 2pair and folds then OTR
Hero opens OTB w/ 6d5d42 and calls 3bet by SB
- explains that hand is weak but the board he will connect he will not be dominated +
- and on these board V will expect that hero will attack alot
Defent BB w/ QT98 vs BTN
- says that sometimes he 3bet this but is okay to call
- OTF 764r he check raises more for value than semibluff +
- would go broke and explains that he is flipping vs set or nuts
Hand so uncoordinated like A873 hero folds on the SB when folded to him
- my comment: I think it is important to not let A and some suits to misslead you for stealing light OOP
opens KKJ4 from the CO - BTN and BB calls
- takes stab on the T5s3s flop
- Says that this board will not connect much vs legitimate pf calling ranges
Hero calls CO open from BB w/ AKK9 and makes c/r OTF K65
- explains that it would be bad not to stack off lower set OTF b/c future steets will kill the actions
- when V calls c/r Hero explains that at this point opposition have draw almost always;
- V range has wraps and FD
- when Qh completes the flush OTT, hero barrels and explains;
- even though it may looks scary turn, we barrel to get value from wraps and +
++ V cannot jam OTT w/ wrap
++ V should not raise here OTT to let his opponent in this case hero to barrel OTR for value incorrectly or +
++ bluff it off - Conclusion is that V should call in such spots with all his range and make a decision OTR +
++ That way he will be well balanced and protected
Hero opens from CO w/ QJT5r and BTN calls
- OTF T42r hero ops to check call +
- explains that he would not be that comfortable to bet call here allthough he probably would +
- Says that people will often attack those boards +
- So hero decides to chk/call and let opposition to bluff little equity hands +
- especially with the fact that hero has TP and three overcards
- OTT 6d hero makes c/r and explains:
++ He induced opponent to bet most of hes range, twice
++ Although chk/raising turn will not make tons of sense since hero will not have that many 53 combos + - There is not much villain can do there
Doesen't defend KdQ84d on the BB vs CO
- does not think that this is good defence in general in terms of general game plan
Jan. 16, 2016 | 3:25 p.m.
yea bud, i encourage you to learn it. In my first post there is 12 part plo from scratch article series which in combined is like little book. This should give enough knowledge to beat micros :)
Jan. 16, 2016 | 11:47 a.m.
Made another video playing 2 tables zoom 5PLO but this time w/o comments.
Also uploaded it to youtube so have bettt 720p quality
Jan. 15, 2016 | 7:50 p.m.
I agree with lospengin.
We can lead with a wide range to thin the field. Also i don't think you should worry too much about being exploited since general player pool will not look it in that way.
That sayd, leading into 3 here looks very strong and people tend to play very str8 forward.
But when u check and someone else leads and there will be call then there will be tons of turns where we will have hard time to face any strong agression.
CO cb looks bit weak though unless he has AAxx then such bet is just perfect on a rainbow board. OTT i dont see any value of jaming unless you think that you have a decent FE, but hands that will fold to a jam we have good equity so call and play river would be better option imo.
Jan. 15, 2016 | 7:40 p.m.
Is my math and thought process valid?
We have decent aces to 3bet vs CO and play pot HU
flop is good, we have pair + NFD + GS
Should not hit V too , only hands are like 55 and TT, we block so many diamonds and having Ad it is unlikely that V would go crazy here. So i bet rather smaller to drag some equity along
OTF we have ~ 10 clean outs which gives ~ 40% eq
If we GII OTF we invest $3.36 to win a total pot of $2.16 + 2 x $3.36 =$8.88
we are commited.
EV of getting AI OTF is:
EV= 0.40*(8,88) - 3,36=+0,20
What about OTT
First i dont think that CO have many 3x combos in his range.
vs 3x or or TT we are in very bad shape with around 7% and ~20% eq representatively vs everything else we are in good shape. Should we still call?
what are my pot odds:
we need to call $2.36 to win $8.88
2.36/8.88=0.26=26% eq is needed
vs 3x we have only 20% so we should fold.
Jan. 15, 2016 | 7:22 p.m.
Got done with a second video from Phil.
This way of approaching is so valuable and just super eye opening for me.
Notes from second video
ProView: Phil Galfond Reviews Jonna102 at $.5/$1 6-Max Zoom PLO (part 1) (55 min) by Phil Galfond
Blind steals are more valuable since rake is not collected.
Thinks that even with deeper stack like 150+bb it is not very good to call 3bet w/ AAxx
- hand in example where Hero 4bets vs BTN w/ AA93cc with 100bb eff. Thinks that some people would opt to just call when stacks are deeper and that is mistake.
- people don't want to "face up" their hand and find themselves in difficult situation w/ 150bb+ eff stack where OTF there is around 2x PSB left
- says that building pot pre with a 1pair hand like AAxx - it is very strond preflop hand w/ equity favorite however its not hugely strond implied odds hand.
- When we raise/call OOP when eff stack. is deeper than 100bb and does not play that well on lots of boards even though we have some "deceptive value".
- value of weaker AAxx is to get as much money in preflop and to force opponent to fold away his equity on lot of boards.
++ to balance this we should 4bet some hands that play well vs AAxx
KKxx is a good multyway hand
On the BB defends w/ 9s873s with a 5.5:1 price. CO opens 2x, BTN and SB calls. Says that vs 2.5x he would defend as well.
- Says that its better to defent such hands HU since HU weaker hands get weaker as hand goes MW
Hero defend w/ 8776 on the BB vs BTN (50bb eff) HU pot. Flop: K54 and btn make a CB.
- Thinks that we should raise here since we do not have good implied since with our wrap when turn is 3,6 or even 7 then V will not give us much action.
- Maby on 8 turn we get some value from K4xx
- So check calling is not that good + when we miss OTT and it comes like Q we are in awkward spot - when V bets then 10 into 14 we cannot make much profit in this spot.
- There is money to be made OTF and with a thought that there is not many great turns for us we should raise (also at 100bb)
- Hero make a c/r 4 to 14 and takes down the pot
Wrap on a rainbow board is a strong hand and we can rarley go wrong playing it fast.
- But it is important to be able to identify the difference which wraps have good playability on future streets and which dont
Thinks that when player pool is more tight it would be OK to open from CO w/ T9h83h but overall thinks it's quite a mistake in a loose game but still OK in tight game
- But defintely open from BTN
- Calling a 3bet from BTN he think it't allright but folding with a hand this weak looks more reasonable since we can get in to trouble OTF where we hit "sucker" end wrap or a pair + FD
To handle limpers we should be str8 forward - POT it up with premium MW hands
- We should know the game to know when to isolate limpers since when we iso weak/loose/passive limper with weak hand like T983 it can be okay when we know it will go HU vs weak/tight opponent
- but when we get one more call it becomes losing play. / So now the game to know when to isolate those limps
- When we are NOT isolating very weak players we miss a lot of value
Hero fast folds on the SB w/ 8664hhh, PG says that he would fold it at any situation other than if it would folded to us.
Hero defends Mp open from BB w/ T986sss and leads on the flop: 974 all diamonds (hero has no diamond)
- problem w/ leading for first is that we have no diamond.
- also the value of our hand is in our equity vs non flush hands and to check call is a valueable thing b/c V will bet hands like bare KKxx / air
- when we bet we will not get many calls from non flush hands and even though we block 9 we will V will not have many 2pair combos and there is not many set combos
- So we kinda taking all the value away from our hand and bluffing w/ no blocker hand.
Second nut flush blocker tend to be pretty valuaeble bluffing hand for 2 or 3 barrels since poeple tend to at some point raise with A blocker of actual nut flush
Phil would make a loose peal OTB w/ KhJ77h vs weak player who opens from MP even when not that weak but we believe that we will not get squeezed by the blinds.
- Hand is somewhat connected and we have position
Hero calls UTG open from CO w/ KKT7 and faces squeeze from the BTN and Phil says that he would need a very strond read to do anything but fold.
- even when UTG calls we will very rarely flop anything good
Hero opens from CO w/ 9d8d64
Phil would defend BB w/ KTc5c6 unless BTN is very tight. vs reasonable range from BTN like half the hands this hands plays fairly well given pot odds
Hero defends BB vs SB open w/ Kd543d - it's okay to defend hands like that.
- Same would go for 98c86c vs CO/BTN open unless they are really tight
- With Kxxx hand flop comes 988dd and V makes a CB. Phil talk that when flop would be 882 then oppositions would expect us to raise with any 8xxx hand.
- But on given flop we do not have too much value hands to raise with so it's better to call with most of our range and play futher streets.
- Says that it would make sense to call even two barrels on such board even with a hand that weak.
- Turn is 3c and when opposition would barrel we could call and expect to get a lot of checks OTR even if it bricks from hands like KKxx
- We can the represent our weak eights or some of our stronger range and when hitting flush we could find a valuebet.
Hero opens from CO QTd8d6
Hero opens from BTN w/ QcQT5c - SB calls - flop: J4c3c. Phil points out that this flop is not good for a reasonable SB range
- when SB leads OTF then Phil thinks that V have somewhat marginal hand here what he prefers to check calling.
- Says that raising would not make too much sense with our hand and we shoud just call and keep in mind villains somewhat weak range in this board.
- Also says that he would not fold to any turn card and barrel. But you may see him ptentially turn this hand to a bluff later
- Turn is 6 and villain pots. Immediately Phil says that we have 5 blocker (for str8) and QQ - he thinks that we can still call but might be little bit ambitious
- Allthough comes to a conclusion that fold is probably safer play he would call and play the river.
Phil would open T886ds from UTG witl some "deceptive value"
- still depends how loose is the game
- And if pot goes MW it doesen't play that well. (not a great MW hand but awesome ds hand for HU)
Phil says that he would open AT42 suited to A from CO in a tight game but fold in a loose game.
- It can be tempting to call MW with nut flush but with a low side cards and in this case three clubs in our hand it is better to fold
Hero opens from CO w/ Q855ds and call a 3bet by SB. Phil agrees that it is okay and flow reasonably well and that this hand is strong enough to call a 3bet IP

Thanks man.
GL with PLO and a definitely recommend Phil Galfond videos as he explains so well how to build a solid game and covers so much on top of actual action what we can do with variety of different hands preflop especially.
And as far as it goes from NLH to PLO it is really important to know solid ranges with what you invest your money in. For a NLH player many PLO hands may looks like good hands as it can contain 2 good NLH hands but doesn't actually play that well in PLO.
GL man

I started to learn Phil Galfond PLO videos. I want to worh thru all the essential videos there is by Phil about PLO. It is important for me to take most of these videos so i take quite a detailed notes during the video and the reviewing those notes afterwards and work more in depht with different views to understand them in a good way.
My goal is to build a very solid game so every piece of information is super useful.
I share the notes i've taken with you guys so if anyone is interested to discuss any given note in more depth then it would be cool.
3table $1/$2 6-max Zoom PLO Live Session
When facing a raise from MP, Hero decides to fold QQTd7d on the BTN -
the reason is that when the blinds tend to squeeze more ofthen than not or-
one of the blinds are more loose agressive then its better to fold.Hero opens from MP with AhQT4h, CO 3bets and BB calls.
Hero notes that it is not a great spot with AQT4 but commited to call -
says that both villains are short and in case of flopping little something can go with it.- On the Jc9c2 flop BB leads PSB and have little left behind and hero decides to shove -
Hero has OE even tho its a FD OTF its is enough to GII although it is not great spot he says.
Says also that in PLO there is many BD 2pair outs of what we are not aware and what make our eq better then we might think.
*Opens Qd8dQ7 from UTG
a standart open from CO wih Ac7c64 calls a 3bet from BTN
says that not a great hand to call a 3bet with but he is fine with that.
suited ace and low connecting cards are relatively unlikely to be dominated.
Goes c/c on Q7s6s OTT Js comes and Hero decides to "explotatively"lead with a plan to fold to a raise.
Says that he bets smaller when plans to fold to a raise.
And whe opposition have marginal draw they are not that engouraged to jam because of the price.
Rivers FH and explains that it is a clear valuebet but can go for c/r but V can be aware of that
says that there is less tha 2x POT so c/r does not pay off in a very big way.
And when V will just "autocall" with aces it is beter to bet. Bets ~80% of the pot.Defends BB with Ks7sJ7 vs BTN open and SB call.
OTF 754r he decides to lead with a top set.
explains that it is a board that unlickley to hit either of their ranges.
BTN is most likely to hit tho because its range is pretty wide.
in general likes to lead on those boards and says tha he Doesen't expect BTN to stab very frequently.
Leads wide range in general on such boards. expects to get called by pair/pair + OE
Says that often it check thru and top set on this board is not that strong either.Makes kinda loose open from CO with Q963ds and says that you really need to know blinds and their stats to knw how wide you could go.
Points out when made a NUT FH OTR on very wet paire and flush board and says that often people are tempted to c/r w/ really strong hand.-
-but says that risk reward is not great since often people check behind that they were gonna call at the same time.3bet KKT7r OTB vs CO half stack. says its okay to call especially vs full stack.
OTF A5s4s says that dont mind to check back in general but opts to CB. makes ~40% PSB
Says that he dont think people will sence any weakness from such bet and it does not actually show any weakness.isolates UTG limp from CO w/ Ad7dK8
OTF KQ8r checks back w/ two pair
explains that he in general likes to check back with wide variety of hands
explains that when we assume V is weaker player than there is lot of value to be had but not a ton
says that this is the hand that does extremely well vs V full range - +
but vs hands that call the bet hav OK equity like OE, pair + GS
and if it happens that we get c/r there vs KK/QQ then we are at very bad shape.
we can let V to improve to weake 2p to get value on later streets and also let V stab OTT with air vs what we have great equity.calls MP open from CO with 8855 and says that there is too much value IP and it would be disaster to get 4bet.
If BTN or CO opens and we are on the SB or BB he likes to 3bet this hand b/c it has lot of deceptive value -
-we get credit for big cards and big hands so b/c of that we have a lot of FE - people fold alot on high card or A boards
makes an ex: when flop comes T8x and we cbet peple often put us on AA and will jam W/ QJTx perhaps withs some BD FD with what they think they fliping
but on actual hand it is much better to play IP with this hand playability.
Even if BTN or blind will 3bet and orig raiser will call we call also, having good relative position.
-- as sayd 3bet is not good as in case someone 4bets it is distaster for our hand
and many times we face 4bet more frequently IP since when people look at spot where they are OOP and face 3bet and think that they have a hand that is slightly ahead of our 3bet range - +
to negate positional advatntage deep stack. But IP paople like to keep SPR relatively large so you are not gonna get 4bet nearly as light IP
says that hes 4bet % will be higher OOP than IPTalks about when facing decision in SB with AKKQ with a raise from CO and 3bet from BTN
when we think of ranges then BTN has like 95% AAxx, as mentioned before people likely to 4bet OOP so 3beting even hand like AA72 is good IP to catch a 4bet or to play HU since AA72r doesent play well in MW.
Says that it does not makes much sense to cold 4bet with AKKQ since when facing jam and we fold we jst pot tons of money in and give up.
On other hand even when good scenario happens and BTN will call with some other hands he might have in his range like double suited rundowns even trashy ones then we are not pushing out tons of equity +letting V kinda cherry pick the flop to GII.
Flop comes T76r and hero leads 32 to 54 with what he trys to say that stacks are going in.
And with our preflop cold call from SB it looks like we can have lots of suited rundowns and when leading on such frlop into 2 players we expect to get lots of credit.
with 32 to 54 bet price hero gives himself is good and opposiotions have hard time to do anything even with hands like QJT8 when player is reasonable.
And unless someone has set ot 2pair + GS or str8 itself then we should get quite alot of folds here.opens from CO w/ QQ85ds, BTN and blind call. 4 way pot:flop T97 giving hero overpair + double gutshot
Says that not a great hand. thinks that it is likely to run into str8 4way but not sure how likely.
Still doesent mind to CB to thin the field. Bets 5 to 20 and says it is good since it handcuffs first couple players since they have to worrye about hero and players after them and
So it not that they can go crazy on such 5 dollar bet because hero is "protected" by other players.Talks how important is to protect your equity in PLO
Opens OtB w/ Ks9s62 abd BB calls. flop: KJ5r and hero CBets because our hand is really vulnerable -
BB calls and turn is 2 and nw our hand is much less vulnerable and actually turns from protecting to valuebettingTalks abut cbetting and how its satisfying b/c takes down pots more often than checking and avoids tough decisions but says that there is option/concept to not cb in many spots (more about this when example comes up)
- says when evaluating cbet we must think how vulnerable is our hand to hands what are folding b/c when we want to CB to protect our hand +
- yet it actually does well vs hands that are folding but need "protection" vs hands that continue -- we are not really getting protection in that case!! WOW. because they continue.
Ex. Over pair on FD str8 draw board - yes, our hand needs protection but all those draws will call and we flip vs them. + we expose ouselves to checkraise/raise
In many hands thruout the video at any point he had decision to make to either lead or barrel/bluff then blockers were in present many times+
+not only for current street but step ahead
ex: calls BTN open from SB w/ AcQT2ddd and BB calls. OTF J72cc goes check thru and turn is 8h ++
++ Now ops to stab and before putting money into pot says 2 street plaan that can bet twice with a Ac blocker when river is club so bluff effectivly.Would loose open from CO w/ Q985dd and w/ 6532cc OTB
easy call w/ QTTd5d OTB vs MP open. 3bet would be mistake. plays well in single raised pot.
finds a standart call vs MP cb OTF KJ6r, says that will use his TT blockers on str8 cards what does not hit his str8
calls again OTT 8d - says showing would be mistake. OTR K no flush amd MP check. Hero thinks would V check with Kx, ops to bet to fold out AA/ Jx
Says that when V does check Kx OTR then our bluff is hurt big time. On other side we have many Kx combos in our ranges what would play in such way.Opens OTB QT55cc, thinks to raise/fold or even raise/call vs SB 3bet since SB apperas to 3bet a lot. ops to call and play IP
Says that lockdown boards are very check raisable in general like 632r; hero has KT9s8s defended on BB vs BTN, although mentions that would like to have litlle bit more BD equity.
Still makes a c/r thinking that can get away many times with that. especially vs some with high CB %
gets called and pots on 8 turn thinking that we have lots of FE and not afraid of getting raised here.b/c people in general would raise flop rather than slowplay.also conciders blocker in opposiotion ranges while making a decisions like with a wrap on QJxx to bluff or not and when he thinks that he faces AAxx x% time it hurts our hand since reduced outs.
good lockdown boards are rainbow with 2 gaps between connectors and a low card like 632- no wraps can be there.
Think on risk/reward when making a decisions would be a raise for value or bluff.
Talks about cbeting and when someone has high cb% thei are more likely to be attacked with c/r
to fix that u cannot just remove bottom of your cb range but can easyli check back with those hands than can continue OTTbetting on early streets as bluff w/ no equity makes little sense but is good OTR
defend BB w/ QQJ3ds, calls a cbet on K73 with a thought of we having pair + 2 BD FD's
Blockers. blockers and again, blockers
Ex; HU pot hero as pre agressor w/ A876ds flop T75r, check to turn 4 and hero turns nuts - bets and V calls +
Rives is an A - PG says that you might think to go for a check raise here but since we have A in our hands is better to bet.On a lockdown board like 76h5h we do not need to protect w/ AAxx or FE since the hands that are folding we are doing good against.

I made a 30min video playing 2tables 2PLO zoom.
Sharing it via my dropbox. Original video quality is very good but at dropbox it shows with poor quality, but u card can be seen good and sound is good.
Got some interesting spot in this video, any feedback would be very valuable.

Hey guys
I been struggling with my game and it seems that i am unable to show a profit even at the lowest stakes.
I just started to learn PLO about month ago and have now 50k sample which should point out leak or two i might have in my game due to not showing profit?
I started from the scratch and since then i'm building my game every day. Now i just been focusing mostly on my preflop game which i now think is quite alright especially when i compare it with other players i see at the tables. I have slowly loosen up my ranges in position and really paying attention where i can steal preflop and put pressure on opposition postflop - more when heads up.
Here is a graph and some stats. I wanted to add hud pop up screenshot with more stats but somehow it is just not accurate, as my total winnings are -$106 but pop up shows almost 200usd + only 19k hands but i have 50k hands. So i decided to not add it since it might be misleading.
Any thought how to share pop up stats with all the hands?
As much as i can understand myself it looks like the biggest leak are blinds, i do defend quite a lot my BB and fihting back from SB with decent hands 3betting BTN, but nothing crazy.
I will record a 30min video with my thought process and will share it here.
Any feedback is much appreciated and. And if there is something i might left out some piece of info i will share anything.
I just want to know what i do wrong.
I study by reading Hwang books and reviewing my HH, most of the times though i know at the tables when i made a mistake either by cbeting some flop or peeling etc.
Other than that it is pretty hard to know where i might do mistakes as i am unable to understand thus not seeing mistakes.
again, any feefback is much appriciated

On the graph there is 2PLO the 5PLO and drop down starts with a failed 10BI shot at 10PLO followed by some 5PLO and "dead" run line start from 33k hands at 2PLO
As much as i can understand myself it looks like the biggest leak are blinds, i do defend quite a lot my BB and fihting back from SB with decent hands 3betting BTN, but nothing crazy.
I will record a 30min video with my thought process and will share it here.
Any feedback is much appreciated and. And if there is something i might left out some piece of info i will share anything.
I just want to know what i do wrong.
I study by reading Hwang books and reviewing my HH, most of the times though i know at the tables when i made a mistake either by cbeting some flop or peeling etc.
Other than that it is pretty hard to know where i might do mistakes as i am unable to understand thus not seeing mistakes.
GL to everyone.

hey
There is so many ways to analyze your database and best way to find it out would be to watch some video what explains HM filters and database analyze in more depth.
What i do is i just look where i lose money.
I look positions, action what happened that lose me the most money, hand groupings to see with what i lose most.
for ex. By positions i saw before that in addition to blinds i also lose from UTG and MP, i just looked into stats on those positions and found that i play too loose in those positions. So at the tables i started to be more selective with my starting hands with what i play thus became more tight and result was that i started to make money in those positions instead of losing money.
Just browse around your HM or PT and look where do you lose money. Try to understand why it is so and then come up with plan that could possibly fix that or lose less/win.
Unless you have a couch it is pretty much trial and error but is definitely +ev for your overall gae as you learn about your game and build your style rather that copy someone.

I know that PKJ can solve many problems.
But first and foremost i am looking to think and solve some situations myself and when cannot then turn to AI

hey.
I would definitely lead river, since we cannot expect that V will bet river but he will almost always call with an over pair with what he was willing to bet flop and turn.

Hey guys
Maybe someone can help me out little bit.
I'm getting better at estimating my equity while playing but this is only when taking opposition top range into account.
ex: i have my pair + FD vs top set OTF GII situation.
But what is interesting is that is it possible to know approx. equity vs whole range, taking into account all top range and some more, like draws etc.

hey
I think that vs multiple ranges we are just not good here.In case we are not beat already and have "best hand OTF its very hard to stand any heat on further streets. There are basically no blank turn where wold you be happy to call another bet. And there is also possibility that one of 2 players after you wake u with a big hand.
i am folding here without regret.

As i am now very much at the beginning of my leaning curve all the decision are not so obvious. But in fact, neither is this one here imho.
In general i do not expect UTG fold to any 3bet from any position as i would not, well 99% of my UTG range can stand a 3bet and many times put out 4bet.
If i get 4bet eith this hand i am not that happy to call with A in my hand + gap on the top of my rundwown.
Our hand plays nicely multiway and by all means we can call with it and invite blind to play as well.

vs PSB 3bet on the flop i fold.
In case we are not beat already V has very decent equity with wraps up to 17 outs vs wrap + FD we are behind. two pair + FD would be kinda best case for us everything else has us beat pretty much.

PLO HU sound like fun. I guess it is quite aggressive game with a wide pf ranges and lots of postflop playing?
Jan. 8, 2016 | 11:34 a.m.
Yeah you are absolutely correct.
Jan. 8, 2016 | 11:29 a.m.
I did not exclude them on purpose. These are quite uncommon and not many of those what can make such wraps should be played in our ranges, i guess.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
Glad it's a help :)

Hope you have learned something on this topic. Should you have any questions then feel free to post them here :)
Not sure about OP's thoughts on what exact hands will raise us OTF, sets only more or less with some bluffs every now and then. it's a 3bet pot vs UTG -
i mean our goal is to be on the dominant end when the big pots get played-
-while utilizing the positional advantage to win our fair share of the small pots as well.
bet folding=giveaway / red line curves into deep like grand canyon
