Nice to see a PLO vid again.

I liked it over all. Seems like you had a few tilt issues near then end, and a microphone issue intermitently.

I've always wondered about what you were discussing with straight draws. It seems that they are much much less valuable than in hold em if you have nothing else to go along with them.

Yeah, bottomline is in PLO, if there is a flush draw on board, there is ~20% chance a random hand has a flush draw.

That hurts your equity a lot, much much more than NLHE. Not to mention even if your straight draw is good for a scoop (another issue), you might not be able to vbet it if the straight card also makes a flush.

All I am really trying to get across is even if your hand is a favorite over the current nuts, fact is the current nuts is a small portion of most ranges. Quite often you'll be looking at a combo draw or a semi-bluff with a similar draw to yours but has some random pair for showdown value.let's say you hold something like QJ9x on T82 board. I can't even tell you how many times I've lost to something rather lame like QJ8x type of hands that happens to have something else going.

Once that kind of flop happens, you're often (depends on how juiced the pot is) pretty much stuck. But voluntarily getting into these spots with bad preflop hand selection is not the wisest thing to do.

Thanks for the vid.. But you should really get a better microphone, those clicks and pops make viewing the video very annoying!

Can you tell us about your software setup? How you have your HUD setup and how you use it to make decisions and so forth. Would you be comfortable 4 tabling PLO without HUD?

this is my second video i've watched of yours and i have enjoyed both a lot.

overall i think i've been playing way too loose so i'm going to work on just playing abc tag for a while.

that presentation sounds like the nuts.(next vid)

would love to see a HU video of yours,would be great if you put 1 out there just to mix it up a bit,not many HU plo vids on leggo.

great vid anyways.

me.
