Well I havent learned how to beat PLO4 on my own yet. Much like in holdem, it seems my biggest difficulty is playing vs maniacs. I just get so irritated that I end up trying to play back at them and always run bad in the process. In PLO it's only magnified that much further. 80/50 players with 35% 3bet routinely own me. Seems like everyone is just gambling though. Cant tell you how many times I've seen 4 way allin's with just a bunch of low connector or suited cards. It's like 1 fish goes for a random 3bet, but it doesnt work out because the pot is then 4bet and 5bet back to him. At this point I guess he just says fuck it and recognizes everyone is about to go allin anyway so they all just ship on each other. I tried playing their game right back by relentlessly 3betting and 4betting, but they just call and I'll somehow fail to make even 1 pair and end up folding to a 1/3 pot bet on the turn or something stupid. I'm down about 30 buyins at the lowest limit of PLO possible, so I'll assume it's more me than them. I mean, it's one thing to lose to maniacs repeatedly, but without the fundamentals to beat normal fish or even thinking players, I'm just losing every hand I play.
So I'm going to sign up for DC for 3 days or a week or whatever free trial they offer and just see what it is I'm doing wrong to start. Hopefully that will be enough to plug my game.

isn't the rake kind of a big problem in those games?
I've been trying to play some low stakes limit holdem because i like the way the game plays but i just can't seem to beat the rake |

Yeah, I've been avoiding even looking at rake so far. But I think I've paid like $50 in rake, which is disgusting at 2/4cent PLO. I've made some huge turnarounds in my game after watching DC vids though, plugging MASSIVE leaks that I dont think I ever would have on my own. Once I feel confident in my game, if I'm even breakeven after rake I'll just auto-move up because even with 35% rakeback, it's still pretty nasty. |
