The best approach to learning the math is generally to just run sims or look at your HEM for allin equity by street anytime you get allin.
Other than the basic math you need to know to be good at poker like calculating pot odds and such, the other math you'd want to know is probably just knowing approx all-in equities in common situations.
It's hard to narrow it down to one thing. I'd probably say knowing when to be aggressive and when to give up on bluffs/barrels is a really important skill.
Phil definitely thought me to think outside the box in a lot of common situations where most players would just take the standard route.
Again, it's hard to narrow it down to one specific leak, but I'd go with check-calling too much with weak hands/draws which you can exploit by barreling aggressively.

Hey Emil,
Nice story.
Do you think your edge in PLO vs a donk can be bigger as vs a donk in NLHE. I only play NLHU and I was thinking about learning PLO (HU). But because all the equities are so close in PLO it's hard for me to think that you could have a bigger edge in PLO. I would like to hear your opinion about this.
And what series would you recommend for a beginning PLO player.
Is it true you need more buyins bankroll wise for PLO? If so, how many is optimal if it is your profession.
Thanks in advance

Hi Emil,
thanks for the excellent video. You mentioned you always check for equities per street in Holdem Manager once you have been AI in one hand.
I tried to find the feature within HM but couldnt find it.
Could you let me know where to find that feature.
Thanks in advance
