Winrate at 5-5 5card plo bomb pot?

Was mentioned in another thread as well, those pure BP games are not super profitable, simply for the fact that all the people who play in those do have a general understanding of what they are doing (of course, good and bad players, like everywhere else, but you usually don’t find someone who has no clue about BPs at all when only playing BP game).

The once per orbit BPs in regular PLO games are much more profitable.

Ps: there’s a pure BP at Venetian running pretty regularly too, same thing, very nitty overall, no brutal mistakes

This is a fun game for tourists and non pros to gamble it up in. Its hard to give a baseline win rate a pro could have in a bomb pot formula that isn't anecdotal imo. At least not until there are formulas/software created around it.

Some people are good at bomb pots, some people arent. Is it just 1 board or 2 boards? Everyone has a different approach to bomb pots. When theres 2 boards you want to get as much multi way money in as poossible on the flop and turn, but its a fine line choosing sizing that encourages that vs potting to deny equity.

I havent played much 1 board bombs. Are you sure its also only $5? Feels very low

As others have said, DBBP games tend to feature much better overall play than you see in occasional bomb pots in regular PLO games. Bad players will go broke very fast in these games, so they can be great at times but are usually pretty nitty.

Single board 5 card bomb pot sounds terrible, the players would have to be smoking crack for that to be a good game.

Depends on how deep the game is playing.

For me DBBP is generally more profitable than single-board omaha, and I think there is a larger ceiling on max win-rates before stacks get uber-deep. I get to play so many more hands; compared to a typical full-ring game which is slow and you are supposed to play very tight. But having that kind of edge is expected from an omaha and mix specialist, especially given the amount of time I invest in regular study.

It also seems like a 10 ante game would get more action.

Definitively, 5 ante is very small for dbbp games, 40 preflop (or even 35-30, when some people sit out), not much to fight over, and people who are playing that are probably even more nitty/tight than on average.

10 ante is ok, we played 15 ante for a while at Wynn last summer during WSOP, and then there was the regular 25 ante game at kings lounge at WSOP/Paris hotel, but there were obviously some good players in that game as well, bc there was some money to be made.

But I remember I caught on session there with 2 Asian lady’s who clearly didn’t understand the basics (one was so so, the other was horrible), and they “distributed” like 20Kish to the community in a few hours

i played at the horseshoe in Vegas in a DBBP game a little over a year ago. Several players without a clue just donating to the ones that did.

Even more so Hold'em games that have occasional BP or DBBP in PLO / PLO5 form. Since (most of) the Hold'em players have no clue on PLO.
