lol. dont be like that Patrick. me and Frankie are only having a bit of fun. Me and Frankie are equally tez and just think its spew 2nd pair. No matter what range Alex assigns him, the guy had top two and when he turns his cards over both Frankie and I say "yeah thats what i thought you might have".

it folds round to us in sb,

I ask myself the following questions.

1) how likely is he to fold
2) how likely is he to peel
3) how likely is he to jam

If 1) = alot, then I will raise a huge range, like 75+%  I would be making it around 2.2x pre as I'm expecting him to jam/fold and not peel too much
If 2) = alot, then I will tighten my range up and fold hands like k4,k3,k2,q4,q3,56,67,j7 etc where I might be dominated and potentially be on the wrong side of a "cooler" when we both flop top pair . I would be makign it about 2.7x as my range will be stronger and I get value from his bad peels.
If 3) = alot, then I will open a tighter range and generally be raise/calling, although ofc I will have some bluffs in there too. I'll generally be making this 2x as I will be raise/calling and be trying to induce and look weak

But still, what are you doing with the hands that are too strong to fold, not strong enough to induce and dont play well postflop oop off 15-20bbs if they are likely to peel or jam?  There are still parts of your range that, imo, you still cant fold despite tightening your range, but having them peel/jam on you is the nut worst result.  Jamming in those spots is also +Cev

well they aren't too strong to fold because im gonna fold like just because a small select number of hands are going to be difficult to play doesn't mean I should just change my overall gameplan because of it.

Run better

I was due mate had a brrrrutal downswing recently. 5 losing sessions, -5k, plus an ept bricked. I mean it lasted a whole week.

George is just jealous because of my immense Omaha skills I showed yesterday.

I flew in to Manchester at 6pm, drove home in the gorgeous weather, spent the evening with Hannah and then went to bed, at like 1am I realised i wasn't tired so sneaked out and drove to DTD. 2 bowl 50/1 games sigh. I saw one of my favourite people in the world, Ming and Tom Walster there, he said everyone had gone to Leicester to play. Hmm this doesn't have anything to do the fact that Leicesterfish has quit coming to DTD now has it?! Are they really following him round the country from casino to casino?! Hardcore bum hunting! I'm coming too!

Convinced Ming and Walster to come too, so we drove down and the only seat available was in a 2/2 PLO game...this could be trouble. Sat with £200 and put the £16 straddle on (I figured the shallower we are the fewer mistakes I could make!), a few limps including George, mario pots it to like 95 and I look down at the monstrous   and decide that's good enough to get my stack in with. My logic being, if I 5 comes on the board, I'll almost certainly make a straight. Cold deck if I lose.

Get it in 3 ways, and there's a 5 on the flop yesssss! With a 7 get thereeeee! T on the turn that's no good, 4 on the river wiiii! I was looking for 68 in my hand I was sure i had a straight but Couldn't find the 8. Then I realised 63 was a straight and I scoop #pro

Very next hand I'm in the £8 straddle and after several limps and Mario potting it again, I find   and repot to £225. Someone goes allin for 180 and Mario calls. The flop comes   and Mario sets me in for £400, I call. Turn pairs the 9 and river is the   and I scoop again. +1400 in the first two hands, nice! I was shitting myself cos I was so deep playing a game I have no idea in lol.

Lost a couple hundred back and then everyone was going home so I didn't need telling twice, cashed out up 1200. Probably the first time I've ever won playing PLO lol, must be a lifetime winner now wiiii!
