This is some nitty omaha style of play... Cant belive u think half pot preflop is good...

Let me guess, you come from Ziigmund School of Omaha? ;-)

It is on the nitty side preflop definitely, but postflop I'm advocating anything but (and since our cards will usually be pretty good, it's not a mistake to get very aggressive). I want to invite players into the pot with a small raise and keep the pot relatively small because that's a great way to expose a larger edge on later streets.

i agree with this, and the video was good but i just desperately want to see how you use this game plan at higher stakes and what adjustments you make

I like this series. But one thing I think could be improved is the format. I'd like to see a session of Whitelime playing, with his commentary, etc. And then for the next episode have Vanessa review Whitelime's play.

I think with Vanessa sitting there telling him: fold, raise, etc..it doesn't give Emil the chance to really make normal mistakes that low limit PLO players make.

Foxwoods Fiend and DeathDonkey did this format a bit with their series, I think it was 'Minbet Madness' and I thought it worked fantastically.

Otherwise, great series. Love the PLO vids.

Vanessa, thanks for addressing my VPIP/PFR comment in the Episode 2 thread. I do have a follow up question though, more pertaining to PFR.

You mentioned how you thought 25/20 would be pretty close to optimal, when talking about Spring Cleaning on how he was a pretty tough opponent. Is it really profitable to be raising that many hands (I'm currently something like 23/11)? Again comparing it to hold'em, the vast majority of your PFR range is either done to isolate fishy limpers, to steal the blinds, or to 3-bet aggro/TAGgy players. All 3 of these reasons have a much higher chance to take the pot down preflop in hold'em as opposed to PLO. It seems the only main common reason to raise preflop between the 2 games is to have initiative going to the flop.

I'm definitely not looking for a cookie-cutter approach to PLO, but am definitely more interested in hearing your thought process behind this. Also, even a screenshot or summary of the positional breakdown from the 'Position Stats' tab in PT on how your VPIP/PFR varies position by position would be helpful. Thanks!

In the AA4K hand about 49 minutes in, while the pre-flop play by the guy with AQ95ss with 3 diamonds was clearly an error, his flop call is certainly standard.

I just rewatched this hand, and you were only talking about his preflop play so nevermind.

I know im watching this late, but i just signed up, to learn to play omaha..

But in the hand on the right that is at the flop here..

it sounds like you make your decision on an OE, but dont we have a wrap since we have the 8 also ? so we have 8 outs for a straight(6 is paired), and ofc you miss its 3-way, but would we call turn(you guys fold, but sounds like you see it as only openend) with a wrap ? and then evaluate river?

Good video.
