Any advice on how to learn this game please ?

Thanks

Hi
I am looking for a coach who has lots of mid/high stakes live PLO experience, please pm if you are interested in coaching.
I play live 2/5 PLO.

thanks

Hi
As you there are too many ranges and spots for learning MTT preflop ranges because of varying stack sizes.
Do you know/use any tools/tricks to learn these preflop ranges more efficiently, for example something similar to GTO trainers for postflop play ?

thanks

Hi
Is anyone here using SimpleGTO custom drills for turn and river spots ?
I am having performance issues with this as it takes anywhere between 5-15 seconds to load each hand.
When you compare this to free drills (which are accessed from cloud I guess), the hands load instantaneously.
So I wanted to ask how is it going for you in terms of time it take to load each hand ?

thanks

Hi
Can someone please point me to some husng stuff as I am learning HU from the scratch (either on RIO or anywhere else) ?

thanks

Hi

Referring to mistake#1 in this article
https://upswingpoker.com/nick-petrangelo-tournament-course-mistakes/

This article implies its some sort of a mistake to use a smaller bet sizing on this flop.A♠ J♣ 4♣
It implies (and therefore I find it misleading), that in theory, the EV of using bigger bet on this flop is higher
than smaller bet (at equilibrium).

I am not convinced with this because of the following

* Just because solver prefers one betsize over another when mixing strategies, it doesn't necessarily mean it is a mistake to use
one betsize over another.
* if you don't follow the advice in the article about this flop and use a smaller betsize then you are allowed to bet a lot more frequently as compared to bigger betsize
so the overall EV of your strat will remain the same
** If you are using a particular bet size and your opponent is responding correctly, then it doesn't
really matter what betsize you use because at equilibrium you yield the same EV for each strategy

To back this theory up, I have ran 4 separate sims
Sim1 : allow cbet of 33% only
Sim2 : allow cbet of 66% only
Sim3 : allow cbet of 90% only
Sim4 : allow cbet of 33,66,90
All 4 sims yeild the (pretty much) the same EV for IP (once OOP checks the flop)

For our bigger cbet strat to yeild a higher EV, our opponent has to make a mistake when responding to our cbet
for example, overcall certain hands that he is supposed to fold to bigger bet.

I have no problem using/studying multiple bet sizes but I want to make sure it is for the right reason, for example
if I have a reason to believe villain is going to respond incorrectly to a certain betsize then its makes perfect sense to
use multiple betsizes depending on what assumptions I have about the villain.

However, if I am up against a good opponent who knows how to respond effectively vs each betsize, then it doesn't matter what sizing
I use ! Am I coming to the right conclusion here or I am missing something ?

If my understanding is correct, it brings us to the point
of this discussion, what incentive do we have in studying which sizing PIO prefers for different flops ?
Is it not better to study one betsize for all flops and master it when we are studying equilibrium play ?

Thanks

Hi
I am looking for an MTT coach who has lots of online & live experience. I have been been playing micros zoom NL for the last few months and considering getting into MTTs as live MTTs is my ultimate goal.
Please PM if interested.

Thanks

Hello
I have just started to use PIO to improve my understanding of the game and have trouble understanding mixed strategies which is usually the case with PIO outputs.
For example, I am in a 3-bet OOP SBvsBU as PFA with AA and flop is J78dd
Now, frequencies-wise

It seems PIO bets this hand very frequently on the flop but if we look at the EV of betting and checking

The EV's are super close.
Does this mean
* In a game where there is absolutely no need to balance, It doesn't matter at all whether we bet or check since the EV of both actions is the same and we should look for other exploitability factors when deciding between betting and checking ?

Thanks

Since I have started playing online and studying, obviously I am spending a lot more time sitting than usual, I feel sluggish after some time. Are there any particular exercises you guys find useful while playing to keep active ? For example, some kind of a 2-3 mins workout after every 45 mins or something ?

Thanks

Hi
I have a few thousand hours live NLH cash experience and recently switched online 6max cash with live MTT (& cash) high stakes long term end goal in mind. More on my goals here:
https://www.runitonce.com/mtt/high-stakes-mtt-career-question/
But thats long term, In the short/medium term,I am focusing on building a strong base with 100bb cash game and started at NL2/NL5.
I am looking to work regularly with a coach who can help me move up the stakes(for 6max Zoom).
I have pokertracker/H2N/PIO edge and have played about 67k hands so far.

Please PM if interested.

Thanks

Hi
I am new to PIO and ran this sim at 34:11
https://www.runitonce.com/poker-training/videos/intro-to-piosolver-part-ii-liveplay-with-examples/
Basically, we 3bet 7d7s vs BU open, BU call and we face a flop Qs2d6s
I tried to simulate the instructor's simulation on my machine (using a rough estimate of the PF ranges by looking at the yellow area in the range section in the video). Initially I was getting results that were way off for example, in the instructor's sim, solver suggests OOP betting 87.24% OTF but in my sim, its suggesting less than 50%, I made a few changes in the preflop range (which I think are minor) and I manage to bring the betting range for OOP on the flop to 78%
What I have also seen in this case is by only removing the 6 combos of QQ from IP player's range, it makes a huge difference and that makes me wonder how only 6 combos out of 255 total combos makes a huge different to the strategy advised by the solver.

I do appreciate, with these solvers the solutions are only as good as the assumptions you input and in the above case, QQ is an important combo on Q22 flop but it makes things very hard when you are trying to analyse a hand and assuming ranges.
For example, if I had this spot in real life vs an opponent that I either know or a complete stranger, a lot of the times it very hard to say whether he has QQ in his 3bet calling range or not, and if that is going to make such a huge difference to the output solution, how am I ever able to trust the solution.
Either I am missing something in running the sim or I need some advice on practical aspect of the assuming preflop ranges of opponents we don't know, do we just assume they are playing GTO ranges pf (when they are clearly not especially incase of microstakes where people are making random plays everywhere) ?

Thanks
