Message: [QUOTE="rhoudini, post: 6811199, member: 1015282"] Hey madmantisgaming, how are you doing? I believe you are starting quite right, all of what you said is correct. At these non-Hold'em games, specially at micro and small stakes, you will find a lot of players that will rely on their Hold'em skills, but they have not studied the other game they are trying. Or maybe they just have curiosity about the game, and they simply start playing to see how it is, and the result is really this: a lot of limping and calling with marginal hands. The best thing to do if you really want to get better at PLO8 is study, study and study, go with ease, analyze your game and have a lot of patience. Grow your bankroll slowly, practice a good bankroll management. This way you will not be afraid to make the correct play. Because there are a lot of multiway pots, people will often get there being lucky, and your bankroll might fluctuate from time to time. Also, the rake at 10c stakes are still a bit high, therefore you should not be playing a lot of split pots or unnecessary spots, because you would only waste money paying the rake. [B]At the table, try to scoop pots.[/B] This will be achieved through two main actions: (1) proper pre-flop hand selection; (2) don't get paying too marginal spots, specially drawing only to the high, or only to the low. [B]At these stakes, you make money specially when you are betting and raising (many times with the nuts) and people are calling you[/B], instead of calling when you think you might be behind. The fact that you are playing Pot-Limit gives you a lot of options in regard to what size to bet/raise, use this weapon to your favour to extract the maximum value of your monster hands. Finally, I wish you a great time playing, PLO8 is a nice game and you will grow your understanding of poker a lot if you keep improving and studying it. Post some hands here at the Hand Analysis section, and we can try to help you. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
