Poker Video: Pot-Limit Omaha by gergery (Micro/Small Stakes)

Yaaay PLO, Gregery and good stakes! Thanks

When you're good you're good. Grand Ol' Man of PLO returns. When you can read hands you can read hands.

When are we going to see a video where you play you regular steaks? Or is it giving away too many reads?

Minor brag: 1st time I remember seeing you c/r on the flop, 3 seconds earlier when I saw the flop hit, I said out loud c/r that flop...and I don't even play PLO or watch PLO videos that much anymore.

After watching this video I decided to give this a shot - I usually play LHE and some NL because PLO variance somehow scares me.. I thought that with my reading abilities it would probably take me 5 hands to go busto.
So I sit down with a huge 100BB stack at a Stars 1c/2c micro PLO table, and start playing almost every hand. Limping mediocre hands, min-raising, half-potting, and potting, tons of betting when I hit a piece of the board etc. After about 20min. My stack was up from 2 to 6$, and another half-hour later after pushing, and pulling some more I hit the 15$ mark. Not too bad for a complete PLO noob imo.
Of course none of the other players at the table had a clue of what they were doing, and as you said in your video you expect them to adjust by starting to call down light. And that's exactly what they started to do after they realized that I was mixing it up with them in every single pot. It was beautiful to see the nits over adjust, and being able to convert them into the biggest calling-stations at the table.
So much fun to watch how table dynamics change when you play like this.
I can imagine that this strategy won't work nearly as well at an aggressive table, although it could have it merits even there, as especially aggressive players have a tendency to over-adjust when a guy is playing with a vpip of nearly 80%.

Excellent video, and great commentary.

hey greg,
just curious about what your stats were for the session in terms of vpip and pfr as well as agg. factor.

What is this spot that everything is like?

50/20/4.5 which surprised me because i thought vpip would be higher

Hi Greg. Thanks for the vid. Been going through a few of yours and really enjoying them. Just curious as to the software you are running - is it PokerAce HUD with Poker Tracker Omaha? If so, what settings do you like to go with (such as for minimum hands before displaying stats), and if it is not PA HUD and PTO, then what are you using?
Thanks again.

I was using PA HUD and PTO, both of which i like alot (particularly PTO). I've played around with different stats, but VPIP,PFR, postflop Agr, c/r, cbet are big ones. DJ Sensei has a link to the ones he uses which i think are good. I'll start looking at vpip/pfr stats after someone has ~20 hands, but you have to recognize there is a wide confidence interval so i won't rely too much on it until the # of hands goes up more. The other stats only become meaningful after a much longer period of time.

But as I note in my last video, PLO is different than NL in that its harder for stats alone to give you a great picture of someone, which is why note-taking is more important, and why it can give you a much better indication of how someone will play.
