PLO Pimpin'

What’s Up Degens?

For the music this time, I’ll just suggest a Pandora station for y’all (sorry non-US dudes!).

Gui Boratto – Sick electronic music, and perfect for grinding actually. Just throw it on and you’ll see what I mean. I like the song titled “Beautiful Life”; superrr sick. If you’re not in a good mood after listening to that, then there’s something wrong with you!

This weekend I degenned pretty hard both live and online. I played like 2k hands online and probably 12 hours of live. Live went really well, and I think I broke even or won a little from online. I was really happy with how I played this weekend, but felt like I ran pretty shitty in the bigger pots, which if you’re playing PLO can make it tough to put together a winning weekend. Nevertheless, here’s some of the hands from over the weekend. Last post got cut off early, so I might include some of the losers from last time too.

As always, winners first!

If this was a HU pot, I might’ve considering calling the flop and getting a clean turn, but three way I’m looking to just get the money in fast since my had doesn’t do well against two other players. I think he has a draw here basically always, thanks for the hold!

I like my line a lot. They should have missed draws a lot, and I doubt rivered two pairs are calling bets anyway. If they were more passive I’d bet, but he was pretty aggro-diculous.

Same opponent as the hand above. He’s playing 86/32. I’m curious about my turn bet sizing. He shouldn’t have a flush that much since he’s peeling the flop so wide. And I want to make sure he has enough room to c/r. River kind of sucks because it prevented me from getting as much value, but meh.

This one was close because he hadn’t 3b yet, but given the stacks and the blocker it’s an easy ship PF. Nice flop imo.

LOSERS (THERE’S LOTS):

Not a ton to say about this one, other than it’s kind of brutal because he’s playing a 94/52 through 100 hands, and then insta quits after this one.

Maybeee I can fold the turn? Villain was very fishy, and he basically never has a set here (unless it’s turned like it was) becasue given stacks I think set always ships it in on the flop. Meh.

So, I go back and forth on this one. On the one hand, it seems like an easy fold given the player type (passive, 45/6 fish), but I’m curious how he plays any other 8*** type hand. By the river I’m getting a pretty sick price, but I think he just basically always has me smoked.
