Hi to all,
I started play 5c-PLO 1 year ago. I played 0.10/0.25 (200k sample).
I'm working very hard on my game but I would like to talk about the game with other players.

Enjoy :)

In my database the standard deviation is 120.
But I'm a Little bit nitty and of course I'm not a professional poker player.

What do you think about GG ? In general if you are a decent grinder (mainly low-mid stakes) the games are IMHO beatable ( 5c PLO games). The crucial point Is how much you take from leaderboards, fish Buffett, Daily flipout and other random promotions. Do you agree?

In the hand with Q997 ds :
- what are the benefits of an half pot size bet OTT instead of your pot size?
- Taking into account that one of two other players OTR has only 70% of the pot left, could be reasonable to slow down and give up?

Thank you very much.

great video, I liked so much your way to explain the concepts related to a balanced checking range IP. Thank you!

4Card v 5Card PLO: Value Thresholds by Emty

I'm a PLO5 beginner and this video helps me to understand that the same value hand can be different in PLO5 and in PLO4.
At a combinatory level, there are deep differences between the two PLO variants.
The video is very interesting because Emty is very very clear during his explanations.
It shows the differences between PLO4 and PLO5 on a KJ8 2tone flop in a BB vs BTN SRP.

Could I have a refresh about prices? Ty. I appreciate very much your PLO5 course.

I'm a microstakes player and I would learn to build my ranges in a relatively simple way ( but mathematically). Any tips?
I can use equilab, snowie, HM.
I think it's important to have some reads about the population's tendencies.

Post | arcotangente posted in NLHE: NL 10 - call 3bet CO vs SB

calling 3bet with 44 from CO vs SB

Can I starting bluff with this hand OTF after SB check?

I'm not sure if I have too much SDV to turn my hand into a bluff.

My plan is to barrell OTT & OTR when board is good for my range.

As played, should I bet OTT?

April 27, 2022 | 1:38 p.m.

Floating flop is due to a bit more playability of my hand (backdoor flush).
Reasonable your considerations about the call preflop and OTF.
I fire big on the river because more than a reg sometimes herocalls with A high.
Thank for your interesting answer, I made many "little" mistakes in this hand.

April 14, 2022 | 9:54 p.m.

thank you, I'll cut my 3bet range!

April 12, 2022 | 2:19 p.m.

After posting the hand, I was in doubt about my 3betting range SB vs CO.
I 3bet this hand because field overfolds 3bet (and a bit for boarding coverage), but probably this reason isn't enough.
What combos do you prefer in this situation (better than A2s-A5s ? A9s - A7s ?
My ranges are changing, because I always realize many new concepts.

April 12, 2022 | 12:41 p.m.

Totally agreed with you, I would check the river close to 100%.
Checking or not my overpair OTF depends from CO. Bet (big size) versus a fish for exploitative reasons, but check very often overpairs vs reg ( checking most of the times the bigger ones ).

April 11, 2022 | 1:17 p.m.

cash game 6-max
CO open 3bb, SB 3bet 12bb, CO calls.
hero: Ac 3c
FLOP 7c 4c 3d

I think this flop is better for CO range. So, I'm start with check OTF.

CO bets 1/3 and I call.

TURN Jh

check - check

RIVER X

My question is related to the possibility of a bluff OTR (with a big size like pot or 150%pot).
What kind of runout is better for our range ?

Obviously, I refer to a card doesn't complete flushdraw or improve our pair.

April 10, 2022 | 7:40 p.m.

thank you for your usefull answer.

April 10, 2022 | 7:08 p.m.

First of all, I would set both ranges, looking at the "standard" for NL10.
UTG: 55+, A6s+, BRs, T9s, AJo+, KQo.
*BRs is for broadway suited.

BB:

UTG range contains about 63% of Ax or Kx
BB range contains about 44% of Ax or Kx

On A84 UTG should bet more frequently (small size, 1/3) because there are lot of hands of the BB range with a decent equity vs 8x for example.
On AK8 UTG should bet less frequently (big size, 1/2 or 2/3) for the same reasons you showed before, there are much less hands in the BB folding range OTF with a decent equity vs Kx for example.

Sorry if I made mistake, I'm not sure if I catch the point.
What do you think about the ranges used? Too tight also for NL10?
Thank you

6-max cash game table,
UTG opens 3BB, all fold, Hero (SB) raise 12BB, UTG calls.

Hero hole cards: AhKh

FLOP

Qd Tc 6c

Hero bets 1/3 pot, UTG calls.

TURN

4d

What about the second barrell OTT?

April 9, 2022 | 9:53 a.m.

As regards the UTG vs BB spot, what are the main points?
I imagine the answer depends from how much is A-heavy the range of BB (in comparison with the MP one).

April 9, 2022 | 9:45 a.m.

so the standard play here is XC?
no check raising range here?

April 8, 2022 | 6:40 p.m.

Hi everyone, I recently saw videos on YT about this topic.
For example, hero opens form the SB with Ah5h and BB calls.
What's the best move on a board like 8d 6c 2h ?
Is there only one best move here?
I think there isn't any big range advantage.

April 8, 2022 | 5:39 p.m.

I refer to the structure of my hand

Aug. 16, 2018 | 2:09 p.m.

Hand History | arcotangente posted in PLO: facing cold 4-bet preflop
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10 (4 Players) CO: $9.75
BN: $8.01
SB: $11.55 (Hero)
BB: $9.98
Preflop ($0.15) Hero is SB with K T J 9
CO calls $0.10, BN raises to $0.45, Hero raises to $1.55, BB raises to $5.20
His range is AA heavy, of course. After the use of equilab, here we have 42% aganist random Aces. Due to the capped range of BB, to the suitedness and connectness, what's the best movie and why ?

Aug. 8, 2018 | 8:31 a.m.

Without any info about who leads on the flop, How do you think about fold ?
At PLO 10 usually in spot like this, BB on the flop has a middle-stronge range or not ?
Bluffing makes sense? What am I missing ?

July 22, 2018 | 11:13 a.m.

According to the capped range of BB at these limits, your QQJ7 with no suited could be a quite easy fold. OOP I think you don't realize very often you equity imho, I'm a low stake player like you. I prefer a more tight approach in this spot, if you don't have particular info about BB.
