Five-card Pot Limit Omaha (PLO5) Strategy Guidebook
Hi all,
I have written, edited, and revised a detailed guide on crushing five-card PLO. It is in its fourth edition. It runs at 24 single-spaced pages right now. I also sell it through my coaching thread on this site, here: https://twoplustwo.com/Coaches-and-Schoo... but may be going with mass publishing at some point (I have gotten several requests to do so).
I play live as high as 10/10/50/100 PLO5. I have a winrate around $100/hr. at live 1/2 $5 bring-in PLO5 over a several thousand hour sample and higher in the big games. I have been semi-pro or pro for around seven years.
The guide costs $60. This price is frankly a steal given the lack of fundamentally sound written PLO5 content available. The guide integrates GTO, exploits, and a ton of equity sims all in one.
To send payment, Paypal $60 as a friend to ichispiro@gmail.com and please provide me with your email address to send copy of the book to. If you are unable to send as a friend (certain international users), I ask that you cover the PayPal transaction fee of $3 (so send $63).
Here is the table of contents:
Introduction
Preflop Principles
A Postflop System of Playing PLO5
Other Postflop Principles
Bluffs
Other Practice Pointers
Conclusion
About the Author

I ask many people who have purchased the guide to write a review if they want. They don’t all have two plus two accounts, so yes in many cases they are creating an account just to write the review. More seasoned posters have also written positive reviews as well, like Bobby Peru.
Did the people who wrote positive reviews purchase a book or did some of them receive a free book in exchange for a review? I noticed you tried to send Mason Malmuth a free book to solicit a review. If any of the reviews are incentivized, it should be disclosed since you keep citing the positive reviews as a selling point. As a guideline, the FTC requires some sites to disclose when a review is incentivized.
No one who posted a review got a “free” copy of the book, they all paid for it in some form whether via coaching or just buying a standalone book. A couple got a modest discount ($5 off the book for instance). Most did not receive an “incentive,” however. Hope that helps.
Mason would have gotten a free copy because of his status in the poker world; his review would have carried much more weight.

Thanks for clarifying. I’m still genuinely curious how so many people who don’t have 2p2 accounts found your book, bought it, and decided to create an account afterwards for the sole purpose of writing a review when they never bothered to create an account before.
Are the reviewers friends and acquaintances from your local card room who heard about your book? None of them got a free book? I would’ve hooked a brother up.

Google searches lists my book near the top when you search for plo5 books which I assume is how lots of people without 2p2 accounts find the book.
Also Ilikeurstyle is in fact my poker friend from my card room (and yes, he got a free copy). I forgot about that one review. Oops!

That’s amazing they all found your book on Google and decided to create new accounts just to post positive reviews instead of being lazy or keeping it to themselves. I’d always thought poker players were a lazy selfish bunch. You’re doing good here creating community and bringing out the best in poker players. Carry on!

Hi all,
I have written, edited, and revised a detailed guide on crushing five-card PLO. It is in its third edition. It runs at 21 single-spaced pages right now. I sell it through my coaching thread on this site and am keeping it exclusive to 2+2 members for now, but may be going with mass publishing at some point (I have gotten several requests to do so).
It costs $50. This price is frankly a steal given the lack of fundamentally sound written PLO5 content available. The guide integrates GTO, expl
Thanks for sharing.
New edition of the guide released!
Exciting news! I am releasing a fourth edition of the guide with more pre- and post-flop equities, estimating equity, bluff catching, additional special practice pointers and tactics, backdoor draws, and other helpful information (24 pages). This will probably be the last edition I ever release unless I go with mass publishing through Amazon as I am starting a new, awesome law job soon. The price is only going up by $10, to $60. Anyone who already bought the third edition of the guide will get the new edition at no additional cost; to obtain the new edition, you just need to email me using the email chain you used to buy the previous edition and in the subject line put "new edition."
Thanks and good luck!
