Fantastic video - I'm surprised at how weaktight these players are at 1000PLO.. would you say that this is pretty par for the course for these stakes?

Also, Dan runs on permanent GodMode in this video. Grin

Do you advocate this style if you are playing many more tables. Vanessa seams to teach a much tighter game and my question goes to its profitability. When 9 tabling (1-2plo) is it more profitable to play tighter and not to get yourself into as many high variance situations?

Yes the videos are entertaining, but I don't think they are every informative.

Many of your preflop decisions are really bad. For example, raising Ah4h7s3c first to act 5 handed is really bad.

This style of play will lose your money. Vanessa's videos are very good.

I have a question about the A Spade Q Spade J Heart 9 Heart hand. Why do you think shoving is more profitable than just calling? We have a slight edge (52-55%) vs most run hands that are in svenns range, but we are only 31% in the main pot vs AA** and a run hand like svenns.

I did some quick math, we have to commit 260 extra dollars to the main pot with 31% equity vs AA and a run. (260 * 3) * .31 = 241.8 expectation. so we lose 18 dollars in the main pot. We commit 856 to the side pot with 53% equity. (856 * 2) * .53 = 907. we make 51 dollars in the side pot. 51-18 = net gain of 33 dollars. So shoving is profitable, but is obviously high variance. Let me know if I made a math error.

We are getting 3.3-1 to call and see the flop with relative position. Does anyone know how to compute our expectation for this situation? It seems considerably much more complicated. My intuition (whatever thats worth in omaha) tells me that it will be lower variance as we will often have a greater edge when we commit the rest of our stack post flop.

I take back my previous comments where I was whining like a little bitch. This video is hilarious. Also, I think the loose preflop style is fine for the table on the right because all of the players were so tight/passive. At lower limits you are going to have a lot of loose passive fish and you won't be able to get away with raising as many hands. But I think they played it perfectly.

I don't think raising any 1 hand in a bubble is awful

I think the best reason to just call preflop is that we can see a flop and decide whether to commit the rest of our stack. Obviously we only need to hit a little piece of it to continue since the pot will be so big and we have all these live cards, but the times it comes down 654r we can bail out. It kinda sucks to have to lay down our hand with that much money already in the pot, but so it goes.

I haven't done any math on this situation, but I think it would be tough to do since our equity varies so much from flop to flop, but I think it makes sense to be able to do that.

What is the best reason for shoving? I think a shove makes more sense when we have a hand like JT98 ds that can have 60% equity in the side pot vs smaller run hands in svenns range.

I had this great idea while watching this video. With all the talk about prop-betting, it came to me, and this certainly isn't an orginal idea, that poker sites should implement prop-betting inside the software. What would be more comforting than to get money from the prop-bet on a all Spade flop when you have red aces in your hand! And in any place, a nice way to keep the games exciting. Any Full Tilt executives out there, are you hearing me?

I think this video should come with that disclaimer you see on commercials: "Warning, these are trained professionals, do not try this at home!"

actually dude with small "rundown" was money favorite and you had nothing nearly near 35% PF in this case.
I wish i'd run that hot when taking shots on those stakes...
