PLO Mastermind (1y) -> playing some Pot Limit Omaha
Hello guys,
I am a 29 years old employee from germany. And i want to track my personal results in the streets of PLO.
I brought the PLO Mastermind for 1 year at Black Friday, and want to challenge my self in the PLO streets. Total new to the game of PLO -> was playing NL for 2years up to NL50 but i hadn´t much drive for NL. For me PLO is a lot more charmed.
Personal Challenge beat the R&C stakes from PLO10 up to PLO100.
Currently playing R&C PLO10, only 20k hands so far and slightly loosing -> with rakeback Breakeven.
Now I start with the first episodes of the course and try my best finding patterns in the PLO Trainer.
I don´t know yet how often i will update this post here. Put when I update I will post some hands and wanna recap what I have learned since my last update. Don´t want to post any graphs yet, maybe when i "completed" one Stake I will post on all time graph for the stake
see you guy´s

Update #6 Yearly Recap
I started this thread about 1 Month ago, where i brought the PLO Mastermind. Didn´t had any goal for the December 2023. Just wanted to learn the game of PLO and try to get into the winning streets.
Started with 850€ and on PLO5 R&C, and now I am at 1170€ and playing R&C10.
Learned a lot about Preflop Ranges and in the last weeks I looked a lot into BTN vs BB SRP IP. Today I will cover the last section of BTN vs BB SRP IP ( Paired Flops).
Here are the graph from Last Year since i got the Mastermind.
Happy with the Results since 1 Month ago i was a total fish at this game, and now I am at least Breakeven, slithly winning without Rakeback and good winning with Rakeback.
Goals for 2024
- My main goals for 2024 is to take the maximun out of the PLO Mastermind.
- Want to get at least to PLO50 -> maybe 100 is also possible.
- Keep my schedule
- waking up at 5 am -> Monday till Friday
- study from 5:30am till 6:45am
- work (fulltime)
- Playing / review Hands from 4:30pm till 6:30pm
- On weekends different schedule: Sleep at least 8 Hours, no fix time for study and play, but do at least 1,5hours Study and 1,5hours of playing.
Bankroll on GG: 1169,78€ -> So 8 Stacks till i will shottake PLO25
Last but not least: I played the 54$ PLO Winterseries and got to Day2 which is on Sunday. Wish me luck guys
See You and Happy new Year to everyone 😀
#Update 7
Hello everybody. First week of the year 2024 is over. Hopefully everyone had a great start.
Poker wise
- Played PLO10 R&C
- Studied the last SRP IP Flops ( Paired Flops ) now i need to start learning how to play
turn ( e.g when turn completes a Flush / or board gets paired )
Biggest thing over the year Yet -> I have a big enough Bankroll to shot take PLO25 R&C
To do´s for the following week.
- Learn different turn types in SRP IP (BTN vs BB)
- play PLO25
- do at least 100 hands/day in the PLO trainer (SRP BTN vs BB Flop play), just to apply the learning from the last weeks.
- Post at least two times some hands here on this thread
Life
Back at work after two Weeks of holiday. Now I have an real schedule again. Study in the morning before work and playing in the evening after work. Pool is way softer in the evening, so it should boost my winrate a little bit.
Need to some stretching, feeling old, an mit Neck and back starts to hurt.
Most important:
My exact Bankroll on ggPoker: 1.305,54€
Just enough to shot 10buyins on PLO25.
Just crazy how my journey started 7 weeks ago on the PLO Mastermind with PLO5, and know I am able to shot take PLO25. Crazy how much I have learned about the game, and there is so much more to learn.
Have a good week Guys <3
Thats my baseline for this week:
BTN vs BB SRP IP (Facing a check)
Goal is the get the Rookie/Students Skills at least to "skilled"
#Update 8
First of all. The PLO25 shot didn´t went well, got back to 1001,26€ in my GG Account. Now i need to go back into study and grinding PLO10 until 1250€ for the next shot.
Was a quite tough week in the streets, really bad run at the higher stake and didn´t play my A-Game. Probably because of my mindest. More money is always a problem. Try to fix this with some mental videos from the mastermind.
Started to look at turn/river transitions on SRP BTN vs BB IP. There I learned a lot about turn sizings. (Donking, Double barreling, delay C-betting)
Want to go over this again this week, and also watch some play and explain about these spots.
To dos for this week
- Turn/River plays IP SRP BTN vs BB
- play and Explain for these Spots
- play PLO10 -> atleast 5k hands
- get better at paired Boards -> from Student to "Skilled"
Goals for the near future
- get everything to "PRO" level in GTO world -> C-betting SRP BTN vs BB IP (when BB checks)
-Start to learn 3-bet Pots ( especially SB vs BTN / BTN vs CO )
Did at least a little bit of improvment on my "scoreboard" -> had no time for the paired boards, need to do it this week
So yeah, little bit of set back but the next shot will come in the future. Still a lot to learn
Subscibed, sounds like you have made a good and important balance of incorporating plenty of critical studying combined with some playing. Good luck!
don´t know if flop is a bet or we should check, after his raise i think we can´t get it in because of his monster draws (SD+FD) only hand we are good against are naked JJ. Turn unsure but on a blank turn i think it should be fine to get in in. Get the max from is Draws and JJ.
Since my PLO25 shot i think a improved a lot -> just saw how some player where playing there ( "the regs" ) and know i looked it up in the solvers and see how important blockers are!
call flop raise , jamm turn :-)
#Update 9
New Week, New Luck.
The week was very interesting theorie wise, but pretty boring on the grind.
Learnd something about 3bet pots and aggression. On A-high boards we have such an advantage, since OOP shouldn´t really have AAxx -> that we can bet a lot in this spot. Didn´t know that but when you think about it, it makes sense.
On SRP I need to watch the last 2 episodes Play And Explain -> will watch one later on toady. Then I should be fine to have an good (not perfect) understanding to play these Spot. Will move on to the 3bet pots IP and OOP to get an overview there. ( Still do hands for SRP IP just to repeat everything).
My Baseline on 3bets is pretty bad -> only about 55% of GTO -> so try to pump it up, same as with SRP IP.
Funny Hand from Yesterday:
wasn´t sure about river, with this stacksize -> but funny that turn was still a value bet. 😃
BR on GGpoker: 993,63€ little bit down but nothing to dramatic. Keep Studying and the results will come over time.
See you guys <3
an thanks to the subs
#Update 10
Hello everyone, hope you all doing fine.
First month of the year already over -> incredible how fast time runs.
Nothing really special this week. Had a lot of stuff to do in real life and work. But this week everthing is fresh and i have time to do the things i missed last week.
Two Happy things to say:
BR is up to 1085,76€ <3
played an live hold´em tourney on friday evening. ( 50€ buy in) got 2. place for 350€. Don´t count this to my PLO bankroll but I track my life results in an app.
Happe to get profit on something i enjoy.
Everyone good luck at the tables 😀
#Update 11
New Stuff learned but still feeling like a total noob ingame. It´s quite hard for me to do multi tableing in the Rush&Cash Pools. Sticked to one Tableing for the last two weeks, which was pretty good
for me.
Qualitiy > Quantity
I feel quite confident in SRP IP and 3bet Pot IP. Still a lot to learn but the Skill level improved a lot i belive.
Started to do more Preflop Stuff, since i was a Nit and want to start getting more aggressiv Pre and Postflop.
Stats where at 16/12/3 now i want to get them at least a little bit up. I will see the difference in then near Future.
I will post some graphs soon.
Thats it for today if anyone has some questions and wants more details just let me know 😀

Man that is way too tight. I know it is not always nice to 3b aces but you you aces roughly 6% of the time so that fact your 3b% is this low really needs to get up there. Ideally you should be playing something like 27/19/7
Agree.
I think the worst offsuit aces are good flatcalls, esp when deep. And somehow, double suited one gappers are stronger vs AAxx than perfect ds connectors, hence make great 3bet call 4bet hands.

Yeah I know thats a big leak in my end -> but i am getting better with preflop, and understanding the ranges. 😃 when i have some sample i will see the difference 😃
