Disclaimer:
I wrote this post because I want to see you improve. Im not trynna be a dick


teh fuck you doin on that 3345 hand. First of all this is a hand you really should never play. It is horrible. Your gonna hit bottom set or small straights and get in bad spots. ABSOLUTELY NEVER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND BABY KITTENS EVERYWHERE PLAY 3345 EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER. okay? got it. EVER. I would not even limp in LP with that crappy of a hand. And you called a raise with it. WOW.

Small pairs in PLO are death.

You want hands that make the nuts. 3345 does not make the nuts.

Next HUGE problem is your call on the turn. You are drawing to a straight ON A PAIRED BOARD that also has a FD on it. This is horrible. Furthermore, You only have 4 outs to a nut straight and you could already be drawing dead. This is awful. You need some help with your PLO game. SRSLY. These are huge VERY fundamental leaks.

I have now looked at the rest of the hands from that post. And you played most of them poorly as well.

Not betting the river with the flush with AKQ6 is a sin. Do you really thing the one guy left behind you is going to fire into 3 ppl who called him on the turn? Somebody has a flush, guaranteed. Even if he has the Khi flush I think he checks it there alot. You must bet that river. There is a high chance one of the donks called the turn with a worse flush draw. Now, is when you bet and punish them for being donks.

AKK7. I dont like your play. I would fold the to the flop bet. Its a tight fold and raising is Okay but it is very marginal. There is two other players left in the pot. ANd you dont have the NFD. In a worse case scenario you get squeezed between one guy with a straight or set and another with the Ahi FD. You can pick better spots to get your money in.

T894. You call pre-flop is pretty loose. Its okay if the table is full of donks. Your call on the flop is BAD. You only have 4 outs to the nut straight and have two players behind who could CR you off the hand. You do have the mid pair which adds some equity. What was up with your river bet. I really dont like it. Im pretty sure you are bluffing there. You *should* only get called by better. And since this guy is obviously a calling station, you are not gonna be able to bluff him off sets or better two pair. Your hand has decent showdown equity so just check and hope your Two Pair is good.


You need to work on your PLO game. Have you read Rolf Slotbooms book and Jeff Hwangs? Also, post hands on forums and get feed back. Another very important thing is to put hands into an equity calculator. Do this a TON. Every time you get all-in or see other players get all-in. You should put both hands in and check the equity of each. You need to learn to estimate your equity with various made hands and draws. This is the only way you will get a feel for it and improve that skill.
