exPLOring the game
Hi there!
I started a blog at Mastermind but this forum is bigger and it doesnt require Login first to read, so I wanted to post my journey here too.
Cliffs:
- former NL, SnG player learning PLO since about November
- started at Stars, did a big rake comparison and grinding GGPoker now
- just finished JNandez Mastering Small Stakes PLO Book
- started streaming yesterday at
Goals:
- PLO25+ Winningplayer this year
Currently:
- only regular tables, but I want to play more volume so I gonna test Rush&Cash today
I regulary watch suhepx (PLO500+) and Inky_Poker (PLO 200z+) on Twitch to learn stuff.
If you wanna learn with me, you're welcome to join the Discord [B][url]https://discord.gg/8ASdhJp[/B][/URL]

Hey guys,
I haven't been around for quite a while, but I'm back at PLO micros working my way up through the stakes.
Also my twitch channel name changed to https://www.twitch.tv/foxcatchr by now.
When I will go live for some studying I will post that here.
I also started working on my own software to practice certain spots. Its a preflop tool where you can choose which kind of hands you want to practice and then click through them like a trainer. The results can be noted then in an excel sheet, giving you a rank for your performance. I find that quite useful for me at micro stakes.
I'm also working on a tool that compares my RFI hand history with GTO ranges to see how much I deviate in every spot.
Most solves that are supposed to be for a "high rake" environment are still not high enough for the micros. 5% rake with 1bb cap or 2.5bb cap is not even close to what people are paying below PLO50, so I did alter many ranges to be more suitable for micros.
Next plan is to check out the PLO Genius tool for postflop practice and implement that into my excel sheet...
Many things to do.
Goal: Be a PLO25 winning player by the end of the year
Quick update:
German players do not receive rakeback at PokerStars anymore, so I tested GGPoker. Unfortunately the rake is basically eating you alive.
At GG we are paying: 6% Rake, 5bb CAP, 3bet Pots are raked preflop, + 1bb every pot you win over 30bb (for the Bad Beat Jackpot)
Instead of 20% Cashback from Fish buffet I got 5.7%. Then maybe 1-2% for Daily freebies..
Since those new tax regulations I think its all downhill.
Probably moving back to Stars where I know the exact rake I am paying.. but get nothing back. Or trying 888 :/
I basically did a restart with 100$ at PLO5 after shotting PLO10 too early. I found plenty of leaks in my game after looking at my stats..
I stole this BRM from krrizz who has a NL blog around here, shoutout to him, I will be following the same BRM..
Lets see if we can move up next month 😀
