No big problem with it here but would be cool if you post at least some of the hands in their own threads, would be fun to get some Omaha chat going - I'd love to learn

Okay, for the time being I'll cross-post in the All Other Poker forum and link here. If it gets really dry and I'm unable to get helpful commentary I'll consider x-posting to 2p2 (no return link obv, I feel like that'd get me banned there!). | |

Well, shit. I said I'd wait for 10 more BIs to move up, thinking that would take some time. I won over 9 BI in 2 hours of play today: | |

Your previous post makes a lot of sense. I agree with you for the most part about not playing more aggressive/entering more pots. I think you still get to the flop nearly 100% of the time regardless of if you open or limp and you are paying slightly less rake by bloating pots after the flop instead of before which might not seem like much but is probably what is needed to have a decent winrate at these stakes. I think you can 3b slightly more for value however ALTHOUGH I can't say much because maybe your opponents aren't opening a tonne in the first place but maybe you could start 3bing KKBxss+ and BBBBss etc. Pretty sure AAxx is top 2% no? I also assume your opponents never fold to 3bs and probably only 4b AAxx so it should be easy peasy. Message me on skype tonight. I might join your PLO fiasco. I'm pretty sick of hold em and poker in general and I may just play it for recreation in the near future. |

Actually I'm not sure about what percentage of hands AAxx represents. I will say that I generally only 3-bet "good" AAxx, leaving the raggy rainbow versions out of my 3-bet range, and generally only 3-betting premium AAxx (like AsAh7s6h) out of position i.e. in sb or bb and flatting the rest. | |

So Yaawn I looked for you online and apparently you're not there. I have my skype on DnD but don't let that stop you. I should be grinding pretty soon tonight, would be cool to discuss things with you at some point! | |

Some great posts, really good thread. Would be grateful if you'd keep posting hands in the PLO section - I'd really like to learn and that seems like a good way for me to read advise and see what people say. I've had a couple of shots at playing to learn and neither went well. Could you recommend any training material? | |

I'll continue posting in the Other Poker forum here for the time being, as I seem to be getting interesting comments and insight from guys like Drmcboy. | |

Time for an update. I've been away all weekend and a chunk of this week for thanksgiving, work projects picking up starting next week. I don't imagine these will completely consume my time but it'll be nice to be busy; and compartmentalizing my days can't be a bad thing given I've been waking up at noon or later for the past month or so. | |

holy jesus, don't you have the nuts on the flop in that hand? i mean, you'd be an equity favourite over 54xx with all your redraws wouldn't you? | |

Yeah rake is pretty ridic. But I am beginning to think that 10 PLO is indeed beatable, so long as you don't run some huge value under expectation. Players are just generally very bad, it's quite possible to win a great deal by keeping exploitation to a minimum (and minimizing neutralish-EV situations) and just valuetowning bad players when you have the nuts. | |

Alright, time for a stats checkup. Roughly 7k hands at 10 PLO: | |

are the 3 bets just AA? < 2% is suspicious, I would change to a mostly different set of 3 bet hands (leave in AAxx DS/connected tyoes, add lots of rundowns). | |

I think you're absolutely right actually. Looking at the hands I'm calling off in the blinds, often they're just like a suited ace with a small pair or other relatively unconnected side cards. I think this would be a smaller mistake in multiway pots, but even playing somewhat nutty hands out of position isnt all that profitable. This might be a significant leak for me actually. | |

Villain is 50/28 with an AF of 2 over about 100 hands. | |
