Hello Leggo,

I'm grinding a lot of NL and game selecting a bit. However, when the games aren't really running, I've been working on learning PLO. I set a goal for myself to only play HU PLO starting at .25/.50 and make 25BI at each level so I can eventually play the same stakes of PLO that I play in NL. I really don't like 6m PLO; I think the ability to 3bet in position makes the game kind of stupid and ultra high variance (I think more than HU, but I could be wrong).

So far, I am up 20.5BI at .25/.50PLO in 4330 hands. So I am obviously pretty happy with my efforts so far at that game. I am also earning .4VPP/hand at that level, which is pretty cool I guess. It will only go up and even at MSNL, I get maybe .65-.70, so I imagine I will get more in HUPLO than 6m MSNL. The ability to play a 2nd game well is obviously hugely important, since a lot of the time I am playing, I don't have as much action as I would like to have, and am therefore not maximizing my hourly. Up until this point, I have been a one trick pony at NLHE; I don't even know how to play LHE, like a lot of the players that now play MSNL/HSNL and have been around for 5+ years.



There's my PLO graph. Obviously I'm running good but it's 15.55evPTBB, so I am more than happy with that. If I can sustain a winrate above 10ptbb as I get to the mid stakes, I would be really happy. This seems absurdly high, but I am not playing regulars at PLO until I feel I am really good at it, which might be never. But I do know that I can beat the fish that 3bet 30+% and just dump their money. So for now, that is who I am playing.

If anyone else is at a similar stage in learning PLO or thinks we can help each other with the game, please PM me or post in the comments section and we can exchange contact information.

Thanks,

Evan
