QuickFact #22: Take note of what makes you uncomfortable, and then use it! QuickFact #22: You should rarely float without equity. Floating: Opponent Tendencies In previous chapters, we discussed a variety of scenarios where understanding opponent tendencies is crucial for making the best decision available, and floating is no exception. The first item to analyze is c-betting frequencies. Generally most players display the percentages for how often their opponents c-bet and fold to c-bets on thei...

I get many questions like, “What do I do when I get check-raised? How often does someone flop trips? What kind of line should I take when I flop trips?” These are all good questions, and we’ll discuss how to approach paired boards in the later lessons. For now, I want you t...

https://www.ploquickpro.com/quickfact-20-semi-bluffs-stack-decisions-dynamic-boards QuickStat: ~55% of flops are two-tone, ~40% of flops are rainbow, and 5% of flops are monotone. QuickFact: Semi-bluffs and stack off decisions on dynamic boards are equity driven. The same decisions on static boards are driven by frequencies and opponent tendencies.

https://www.ploquickpro.com/quickfact-18-almost-always-correct-call The $20,000 Lesson The first thing I want to talk about for calling four-bets is the $20,000 lesson, which is the name I came up with to help you remember that four-betting ranges are heavily weighted towards Aces, particularly at the lower stakes. I call it the $20,000 lesson, because that's how much I've probably lost in the past couple of years from calling four-bets when I should have folded instead. For the longest time, I ...

https://www.ploquickpro.com/quickfact-16-3b-calling-range-needs-much-tighter-oop-ip/ -- Visit For The Full Strategy Session Calling Three-Bets I think most players I coach and play against typically call three-bets wider than they should, especially when OOP. I even read a PLO e-book recently that said that when first starting out, you should call three-bets with whatever hands you’re comfortable with. So if I open K♥K♣7♠3♦ on the BTN, does that mean I should just call because I’m “comfortable” ...

https://www.ploquickpro.com/plo-quickfact-12-limping-wonʼt-make-you-any-less-of-a-man/ In many cases, limping behind is markedly better than raising over limpers. First, it keeps the pot small, which on the surface may seem like a bad thing because, after all, don't we want to build big pots in position as often as possible? Building pots in position can make you a lot of money, but not when you're doing it with marginal hands that risk being dominated in multi-way pots. Keeping the pot smaller ...

There are many variables other than your cards like opponent type, position, stack sizes, and table image that can encourage, or discourage a three-bet at any given time There are mainly three characteristics that determine the three-bet ability of hand. These are raw equity, smooth equity distribution, and a lack of nuttiness. These characteris...

https://www.ploquickpro.com/quickconcept-11-youʼre-co-donʼt-forget-look-whoʼs-behind/ Unsurprisingly, your tightest opening range should be from UTG, and it's composed of strong, nutty, multiple-component hands like A♣A♦8♣7♦, A♥K♣J♦9♥, and J♠T♣9♥8♠. Most good players open anywhere from 8-15% of hands from UTG, but you can make adjustments depending on table dynamics. With a fish in the blinds and a table full of nits, you can open a wider range of hands because you'll have position on the fish m...

If you ever get the chance to look through a successful PLO player's database, the first thing to notice is how their most profitable starting hands are big cards. This is not a coincidence; big cards intrinsically possess more post-flop equity on average than little ...

https://www.ploquickpro.com/quickfact-9-know-wraps-flop-straight/ In Hold'em, an open-ended or a double gut-shot is a legitimate draw, but in PLO naked open-enders don't have very much value unless you have some other type of secondary equity to supplement it. One reason they're devalued in PLO is because there are so many straight draws that crush a naked open-ender. If you find yourself getting stacks in with only eight outs, it's likely someone has your draw freerolled, or holds a made hand t...

https://www.ploquickpro.com/quickfact-8-15-time/ There are mainly three defining characteristics of each starting hand: • Suitedness • Connectedness • High Card Strength Every decision in poker is centered on the amount of equity you have in the pot. Each one of these hand characteristics in one way or another influences the amount of equity you have, so when judging the quality and playability of each hand, these are the characteristics to look for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSYOjfwYkRI KE...
