6:00 - I think that's Benford's law you're referring to. Something that's used to catch poker cheats with unrealistic results based on their playing style. Like Pottripper and Mike Postle.
As a Michigan guy who has actually played a few hands of poker back in 2005 in the U.P..... I'd like to see how you plan a poker road trip from start to finish. Poker sessions are cool too.
For legal reasons I don’t disclose how much I make off of poker (my taxes each year are about 180 pages long because I take advantage of every deduction). That and my wife owns a business - so I just never want to have someone interpret something the wrong way! It was better than Rampage or Negranus! Lol. I made a liveable wage plus some.
I do have a few videos on plo5 - plus I’ll be playing that in Florida next week so I’ll have some live content from that! Ty for the comment, and ty for watching! Where are you playing at? Maryland Live or Florida?
I'm playing a 4/5/6 PLO tourney next month. Essentially, you rotate between 4,5,6 card PLO each level. I'm just curious about what adjustments you'd need to make in such a format? My instinct is to play tight in 4 and 5 card. So you can preserve chips for PL6.
Interesting!!!!! I’m gonna have to think on that…. I would think plo5 is probably going to be the most active. Plo6 should probably be tighter play - redraws / position….. Hmmmm I like when they try different styles and formats for tournaments - keeps the game interesting! Ty for the comment and ty for watching! Lmk how it goes - also, where is this played at? I saw the lodge has “wacky tournaments” first weekend in Feb….
@@ploprofessor I lack familiarity with PL5. So I should probably play a bit more of it online. From my experience, it's easier to get the crazy/action players at PLO, and the scared/nitty players at PL6. However, it's probably going to be easier to get a player like myself at PL5. Who don't know how it differs from 4 and 6 card PLO.
@@Mitjitsu It is an adjustment. If you did want some good practice on it in a cash game, you can join The Mad House; special promos going on, and plo5 has been going there regularly at least this week!
@@ploprofessor Played a PL5 tourney earlier and reckon I have a good feel for it now. After the rebuy period it's important to keep the pots pre as small as possible when it's 5-6 card. Given it's not a cash game or early stages of a MTT where you can reload or rebuy. Avoid playing junky hands as you're too often going to be in situation where you flop or turn the nuts and your opponent whose got the same hand has better redraws or is freerolling you. I prefer to stick to a min-raise strategy and add 0.25x on for every limper. If there's a raise, and I have position I'll 2.5x their open e.g if they make it 2x, I'll make it 5x. The intention is not to drive them out of the hand or even sucker them in when we have some super premium hand, but to build a pot in position and give as much room for maneuver as possible post flop.
It was a complete farce the way the tourney was run. The issue was they were running two tourneys at the same time and didn't have enough dealers. So they could only have a max of 4 tables, as a result this created a waiting list of about 20 people to get into the tourney. So if you got felted you'd go to the bottom of the list. While I saw some decent hands I wasn't connecting with flops, and when I did it would be on a bad board like flopping the idiot end of a straight. Flopping top set, but the board being super wet. Like having 99 on a 789 board or JQ on a JQ3 board with them all being clubs. However, I kept the pots small and wasn't losing too much. However, in 6 card I had 4588KK and I raised from 100-300 to 800 after there were already two limpers. The guy next to me casually threw in two 5k chips thinking they were 500 denominations. He immediately tried to take it back and me and the rest of the the table were happy to let him, but the dealer held him to a repot. So me realizing there's no way he's got aces or decent rundown hand decided to repot, as I only had 19k left and thought if I get felted I could just rebuy. Realizing he's pot committed himself given how close preflop equities run in 6 cards, as I only had a 52% equity over his random hand when I checked later. I flopped him dead, because the board paired and neither of us had trips, but he backdoored into a random flush and felted me. I then immediately tried to rebuy, only to be told I couldn't because of prior mentioned reasons. To me the problem was caused by the fact the organizers treated this like a little side event that would have little interest. They were running a big NLH tournament at the same time, but started it 3 hours prior to this. So it created a jam where people like myself were only interested in this tournament and people who busted in the NLH tourney were wanting to give this one a spin. To me this could have been solved if they started the other tourney 6 hours prior to this one, which would have freed up more dealers.
The wife and I got an ice pod - but I feel it’s only going to be used about 6 months out of the year (because otherwise it will be frozen), but we have started going into Lake Superior for 1 min a day regardless of temp. Last night on new years when I was smoking a big doob - decided to do it completely outside with nothing on! It was shocking at first, but got used to it after a min or two. My feet were the coldest standing on snow! Working on being healthier! Ty for suggestion, and the comment and ty for watching!
Yes, we will be in Seminole Hard rock! We did great in July, hoping that we can do even better in a little over a week! Ty for the question and ty for watching!
Are you from Chicago, professor? I smell the accent.. 😂 Anyway, I’m headed to Texas for Big O. Can you recommend any other good places to play besides the club near Round Rock. I’ll be in Dallas and San Antonio. Thanks
Absolutely - and I’m from the Midwest - (upper peninsula of Michigan). Yes, if you are going to Dallas - the Gem there is The Hideaway - they have a dealers choice mixed game - trust me on this - play it, play your A game…. Games you don’t know proceed with caution but you’ll get the hang of it. The dealers choice at the hideaway is amazing action and the players REALLY like to gamble - very home game feel but ran professionally and great dealers. You can bring your own booze too - and if you go there tell them the professor sent ya - or you saw the meet up game video there - great guys.
Also, San Antonio rounders is the place to go. Austin - the lodge is good - but you end up getting the most regs there. But play smart! Lmk how you do!
Out of 100 sessions all together - online, tournaments, cash…. I win a grand total of 64% of the time. Now with tournaments let me be clear - you only cash maybe 1/7 or 1/6 tournament bullets….. So live cash and online cash my win rate is much higher, but when you factor in tournaments the win % goes down, but the hourly (sometimes) will go up. I posted on July 28th my hourly rate YTD for tournaments was $4.5 an hour. On august 1st, my hourly was $140-150 an hour (won back to back tournaments). Variance is a bitch!

I like this.
This - you will see this on my new video as I’m heading to Florida next week!
Ty for idea, the comment and ty for watching
You should use a black dry erase marker my guy so we can see the board better. Love the content
Little confused by the graph. Does it imply you made twice a liveable wage this year?
Yeah - that sounds about right. At least I made above a liveable wage!
Lol.
Ty for the comment and ty for wstching
total winnings?

All PLO is 5-card where I play. Do you have any thoughts or advice . Thanks

Cincinnati Hard Rock. Thanks for the videos@@ploprofessor
@@joebillings4812 I'm nearby, is there ever any O8 at the Hard Rock here?
No, there hasn't been o8 for a few years now. Last 3 months is all PLO5@@moldyorangepeel
Great I have no idea what your numbers are
Hi professor!!!

Walking outside for 10-15 minutes right when you wake up- you should try this every day for two weeks and will be shocked by the results!
