Thanks Prof, the world needs more O8!

Excellent stuff! "Grew up" on limit poker, and first O8 was a 6/12 with kill to 10/20. Beautiful way to build a bankroll. Unfortunately now the only consistent game is a 4/8 with half kill, but the rake eats away to make it truly a grind. Occasionally a 10/20 or 15/30 will get spread, but it takes some work to get it scheduled. Often will get 2 tables, but it only happens about every other month. Still love the content, PLO is still available daily, but I do miss the old days and easier money.

Many people don’t get the value of limit… They also don’t get home a 10/20 game (limit) is much bigger than a 2/5 NLHE game!

Imagine if at the end of this whole series you were just like "Ha sike, Im a hold 'em guy. I made all of this up"

I initially started with hold em…. And when I’m forced I play hold em… I also don’t mind hold em when I’m in a bad run (because the game is sooooo simple imho)…. But yeah that would be funny / not funny.

@@TeeheeFr0g2 did you suggest they start watching my videos from episode 1? A lot of times if you even start off small (like a 1-1 PLO with a 300 max buy in) that can get the ball rolling. Especially if most of them don’t feel comfortable playing - they may feel more comfortable all playing at a table where everyone is new!

Yeah I sent them Part 1 the day I found it but they didn't bother. The 3 of us all play online and they've dabbled but of course they think it's too gambly/variable. They also refuse to touch PLO8 and Big O and call me crazy for playing them lol. Their loss

Keep ‘em coming.

Man, limit seems so fun. Sadly I can't find a Game, not even online. Thanks for the videos, good shiet

As a hilo grinder I love this content

That second hand is tough for him if you are very aggressive. The 3 should probably convince him to go ahead and fold because it is a big part of a raising range. If the flop were, for example, 77J, now I think he might just have to call you down due to the fact that you might bet a J or an overpair or simply bluff 3 streets.

Ty for letting me know! It’s a weekly limit game that I get invited to. Depending on players the game can have some massive pots (1000-1500). This session was very conservative but still profitable. Ty for watching and the comment! I’ll keep these coming even though they are limit!

@@ploprofessor I really like the tutorial videos as well. Lots of great information to take in and mull over. I will add one comment and not trying to be critical, but I think you use "effective" sometimes when you mean "approximate". When talking effective stack size, it is always the smallest stack that is the "effective" between 2 stacks. At least that is how I understand the term being used in poker.

Next Time I’m in a limit game I’ll see if I find any of those spots. I am pretty good at reading people - especially when it comes to limit so it’s rare that I have a tough spot to call (usually it’s if there is 1000 in the pot and the river bet is 20 or 30 and I’m just getting such good odds) Ty for watching and the question. I’ll see if I run into that situation

Appreciate the hand walkthroughs and insights. I’m still contemplating whether or not to play a $600 FLO8 tournament down at the WPT circuit event in Hollywood, FL in November. They also have a PLO8 event I plan on playing. Unfortunately I won’t be there for the PLO Hi events which sucks. I’ll mainly be looking for some good PLO cash games and will use your tips and advice.

@@randyalvarez8323 you should have 20x the buy in for whatever stakes you want to play. Generally speaking when you start playing 40 hours a week while working …. As long as you are tracking your results and can bring up your bankroll to 20x you should be fine. The other thing that I stress to my students is find a limit game (super hard to do in Texas)….

Did you say how much bankroll to start with for 4/8 hi only with 1/2 kill?

@ploprofessor

First of great question! For any limit game you only need about 10x the buy in. So…. For a 4-8 hi only with 1/2 kill I’d probably buy in for 160-200 (20-25 big bets). So to be properly bankrolled for that game you should have about a 2k bankroll. Ty for asking and Ty for watching.
