I don't understand why we pot the Q62r boards for example. Are we trying to extract value from Qxxx / KKxx and also charge the villains who float the flop really wide? I've been implementing this in my play, but I'm just struggling to understand this fully... Great videos by the way, I've improved my win rate with these + the more recent PLO10 session reviews, I had many leaks coming from NLH.
Edit - Wait I think I just had a brain fart... We mostly check those boards unless we have a pair blocker - which I don't fully understand anyway. We pot more 723r boards and I'm guessing that's to extract more value from weaker over pairs... I need to re watch to understand everything fully...

Hi All,
I've been working on my game recently and I felt like I was making good progress, so I decided to get poker tracker and started using the leak tracker function.
I imported 10k hands (I realise it's a small sample) after I improved my strategy and most of the metrics were good apart from the Fold To Flop Bet % - Fold To Turn Bet % and Fold To River Bet %. At the moment the stats are 32% 44% & 57% respectively and it looks like I'm still far away from the "ideal" which seems to be in the 20%~ range. My VPIP is 24% for reference (which it says is slightly too low).
My question is how accurate are these target stats for someone playing PLO5 on GG Fast Fold tables? I certainly had to loosen up a bit in a few spots and I've been picking off more bluffs when I have good blockers, but I feel like I'm calling way too much and running into the nuts far too frequently with marginal hands.
As I'm typing this out I'm starting to think/realise that the Leakbuster function isn't intended for fast fold games as they play much tighter than reg tables?
Any answers appreciated, thanks in advance!
Edit - I found a thread from a few years ago that basically says the stats they provide are garbage...
Hey Emty,
Thanks for the reply bro! Yeah it's starting to make sense the 723r makes sense 100% I was getting a bit confused on the Q64r as to why we want to block a pair to bet, but your explanation made me understand it. In my head I was thinking we don't want to block a pair so the Villain has a chance to carry on with a weak pair with like a Q or a 6, but I understand now that after a 3bet they will mostly carry on/have sets/wraps like you said so I get it now! Thanks again, am looking forward to the rest of the series!
