6max 6players 6months Lets Learn Pot Limit Omaha is a Micro Stakes group dedicated to learning 6 Max PLO consisting of max 6 Players looking to work hard at getting better over the next 6 months. If you are not serious please do not apply.

Requirements to be considered for the group:

1] Time zones: I am not making this a US/Euro/Asian/Australian only group but you can expect most meeting will be held around UTC noon to 2pm or 3pm and so if you are not free during those times please don’t apply.
2] Willing to put in the hard work required to improve and willing to openly share and discuss ideas with group members
3] Your primary game is 6 max PLO and you play at the micro stakes i.e. 2nl to 25nl
4] A blog at DC documenting your thoughts and progress…followed by your fellow members
5] Active in the forums and regularly posting hands
6] Regular attendance to group meetings [missing to many meeting or being generally inactive in the group will be grounds for dismissal]
7] Preferable full time poker players or players that have lot of time on their hands though I will look at individual time availabilities and schedule meetings accordingly.
8] A paid subscription to deuces cracked i.e. able to watch the videos
9] Have a Poker Stars account [required for home games] and play mostly on Poker Stars preferable
10] Hold’em manager [Paid Version]
11] Table Scan Turbo [Freeware]
12] Headset with Microphone
13] Skype
14] Mikogo/Teamviewer [Freeware]
15] Table Ninja and Camtasia optional [Paid]

Now to the fun part what will this group do?

1] Hand History Discussions: This will consist of members talking to each other on Skype while discussion hands posted on the DC forums. I ran a poker group before and I can tell you I learnt a lot doing this.
2] Home Games: We have to have some fun now don’t we? 6 Max PLO home games at 2nl for kicks and giggles
3] Member Video/Session Review: This is where a member records a live play video and we review his play or we review a member’s session in HEM
4] Sweat Session: We break into groups of 2 or 3 and watch a member play live while discussing his play. For beginners it can be hard to concentrate on playing during sweat sessions since most decisions are not standard or have not been thought out in advance so we might refrain from doing these initially.
5] The Classroom: This is where I kind of take the roll of a teacher and I will give sort of a brief PowerPoint covering a video series followed by discussion and questions to clear any doubts we have. Ending with homework and a quiz. At the end of every episode there will be a quiz and the end of every video series there will be a test and at the end of every month or so we will have exams. I will also have pop quizzes to make sure you are watching the videos. If I find out you are not watching the videos and taking notes you will be out to make room for a more dedicated member. As a rule I will not send my PowerPoint’s and notes since I want you to make your own notes DC follows this policy and so will I. Our goal here will initially be to get through these playlist http://www.deucescracked.com/playlists/65281 & http://www.deucescracked.com/playlists/74971
6] Weekly Reviews: We want each other to improve and we want to help each other. You have a problem discuss it here be it poker related or not. Poker can be hard and can be damn near impossible if you’re constantly on life tilt. I am in no way perfect in fact far from it. I have issues with Self discipline and Motivation but am working and taking steps to improve. Here is where we will discuss how to improve in the non poker areas that have affect on our game like Tilt.


Any other ideas or suggestions are welcome. If you have any question post in the thread, pm me or add me on Skype “studlani1985’ and we can talk there. If you want to apply for this group let me know in the thread and send me a pm with your email where I can send you the application form or you can get it from me on Skype if you like. Thanks.

i think this is too ambitious and restricted. i would start much smaller and simpler when forming a study group.

I would like to take part. I'm a full time player, currently changing my game from lhe to plo. Currently stuck at the micros, its not going too well......yet.

Thanks for the input. I do realize its ambitious and pretty restricted I was really looking for people in a familiar situation to mine and who are willing to put in the work. If i don't find anyone I will definitely take your suggestion and open up the group more and make it less restricted.

You should've called the group Lets Learn Low Stakes PLO that way the group could've been 666LLL

Haha now I feel inferior for not thinking of that lol it was hard for me to come up with 666LLPLO as it is. Hmmm I have a idea you give 666LLPLO free coaching and I will personally request Entity to change the group name jk jk but I do see coaching from you in the future if things go well.

Also on a side note I think its really good karma that 2 coaches have already posted here

I only posted because I assumed you guys were going to sell your soul for PLO glory and was disappointed to find out that wasn't the case.

Wait you can do that? Where do I sign up? If i sign up through you will I get a good soulback deal? What percentage soulback do you offer?

added on skype

Just a quick update here: SirPWNsalot is officially part of 666 LLPLO so we have 2 members now [him and me]. We have around 5 potential members which are in various stages of the application process. I have busy of late and so if I have not responded to your pm yet I will do so within a day.

From now on we will use this thread for important updates and any other member related updates and progress etc. will be posted on the newly created DC blog http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/tudlani. So if anyone is interested in following our progress look there.

Thank you.
