Episode 5: Button Principle in Pot Limit Omaha! Part 5 of 20 in the Vlog Series!

[@Nunya_BizNess]

I made my first live Royal Flush in NLH and checked the river on a paired board and both went all in prior to me calling out of position. So it does happen!

[@ploprofessor]

@@Nunya_BizNess in NLHE it does, but not in PLO! Nice job though! Ty for the comment and Ty for watching!

[@martinbrooks3675]

Great stuff, very practical. Keep up the good work.

[@ploprofessor]

Ty for watching and ty for the comment! More still coming!

[@Vivigiles]

These are amazing. And I love the camera angle, makes the viewer feel like they are in a classroom. Great stuff!

[@ploprofessor]

Awwwww. Ty so much for the comment and Ty for watching! Working on more live videos!!!! I will finish my 20th episode sometime in the next week or two - and then post some videos about mixed games

[@brettlobbato3700]

Robert Graham shirt I believe. Thank you very much for your work here. Informative and jammed with humor. My kind of knowledge passer. Thank you again sir!

[@ploprofessor]

Ty for watching! Hopefully more great episodes to come!

[@soxinseven04]

Nice shirt! My favorite episode, I watched it twice already! Can't wait for the next one!

[@ploprofessor]

TY! Just having some issues uploading episode 6, but it will be out today!

[@joemarcklinger724]

Thanks for making these, much appreciated.

[@ploprofessor]

Ty for watching them!

[@300lbcanary2]

I'm behind on your episodes by about a week, so if already planned that is great.....a session of range reading of your opponents would be excellent. Keep up the good content!

[@ploprofessor]

Reads and range is something I will be covering in an upcoming episdoe!

[@jennky8447]

Lesson rates great! Questions - How often do you use this? What frequency do you see FD, SD ,or a set leading or ck-raising from OOP on dynamic flops? How do you decide to con't or fold (board texture &/or player type + stack depth combo)? Should/do you float flop & eval for turn card that bricks or changes momentum? I guess I have some equity calc problems to do to answer my own questions.

[@ploprofessor]

TY for question and my apologies about not answering sooner (just getting to all my comment's I've missed) - in tournaments its very common people like to check / raise on combo draws - for example if someone has a pair and a NFD, they are likely to check / pot in tournaments, whereas in cash games its really player dependent. Also, how often are people leading / block betting (happens a lot with the NFD) is really player dependent. And how to decide to continue on dynamic flops is really player dependent. One of the things that I preach to my students is that go wtih your gut! Always go with your reads, if you are wrong, thats ok, figure out why your read was off, and then make that adjustment. Ty for the comment and ty for watching!

[@sayurnara7311]

Hi PLO Professor, what do you do when a player catches on to your button pot bluff and starts trapping? Meaning they start checking with the nuts knowing you're on the button.

[@Alpha_Smurf]

I'm using the button principle recently. At first, it seems I am really getting consistent small pots as people are folding to me. However, as the time gets by, people are calling me light and this style doesn't seem to be profitable now. In fact, I'm losing a lot from this style of aggression. Any comments in that?

[@ploprofessor]

It depends on who or where you are playing….. If it’s consistently online and you are against the same players change it up. If it’s against the same group of people every week change it up. For the most part you should be able to bet pot on the button and still get folds (even against the same players)…. Shut if you are getting called light then you do need to mix in variety.

[@ticenits1926]

Because this advice is nonsense. PLO is a game of coolering people, not bluffing. There are three kinds of hands you're trying to make -- nut flush / nut straight/ top set. Your goal is to get somebody else stuck with a second best hand. Whatever bluffs this guy is getting through is just pure blind luck that nobody has anything in the first place

[@tamoose1]

Here in WA state max bet is $300 even if the pot is over $300

[@ploprofessor]

@@tamoose1 so spread limit is played differently. Many times people will call you lighter because of that. Use that to your afvantage

[@citizen544]

Loving the content! Thank you

[@ploprofessor]

TY for watching!

[@UnderbellyNZ]

Great tips. I’ll add the button bluff to my game professor.

[@ploprofessor]

The first time you do it your stomach may have knots when you bet pot on the flop followed up with pot on the turn, but the results will usually make your stomach happy!

[@UnderbellyNZ]

I’ve done it maybe 7 times, in the right spots, and have a 100% success rate by the turn. Probably 3-400 dollars. I owe you a beer.

[@ploprofessor]

@@UnderbellyNZ I like beer! What I like better than a beer is heating these amazing results from people listening to my advice! Ty for watching and commenting! When I see you I’ll take you up on that beer!

[@wolfhvac943]

Love these, been just getting into a 1-2 game that play omaha half the time. You the man Prof. !

[@ploprofessor]

TY wolf! Hopefully you can apply these principles and start killing it in Omaha if you aren't already!

[@ShuperMaynn]

Great videos so far. Getting me trough a slow day at work. Really nice to grasp a couple little concepts to apply to my grind tomorrow. Is your shirt tommy Bahamas’s or Robert graham. Keep up the videos Also, are you anywhere near Grand Rapids I feel like I’ve seen you while playing before.

[@ploprofessor]

I live in the UP of Michigan - I do come downstate 2-3 times per month, most of the time when I do come downstate I stay for a week at a time.... Its a Robert Graham shirt! I have played in a bunch of the Charity rooms downstate, and MGM. I have played at Motorcity (when the game was there), and even Greektown & Firekeepers - I know Mt. Pleasant is opening this week! Hopefully they will have a better PLO game there.

[@spencerlevi4625]

You were in Montreal last year right? Pretty sure I remember the shirts n hat

Any way to contact you directly for coaching outside of these vids?

[@ploprofessor]

Yes. Text me. 906.361.2509

[@bengershenov2503]

any suggestions on where to study prflop ranges?

[@ploprofessor]

There aren't any specific charts; just if you are coming from NLHE to PLO, stick with the 3 hand principle to start.... PLO is much more about intuition than studying charts.

[@PedroSilva-nk8ig]

You call 3-bets with 99xx and Ax suited xx??

[@ploprofessor]

Keep in mind everything is situationally dependent…. But for the most part IF we are deep enough, yes. If it’s against a short stack player and their 3 bet puts 65 percent of their chips in…. And no one else is calling…. Then no. But the most you can make a 3 bet is pot….. keep that in mind…. So most games you will have implied equity to call

[@PedroSilva-nk8ig]

@@ploprofessor yes of course, the games i'll play in are very deeps so i'll keep this in mind. Been playing nl profitably and these videos are making me want to take the leap into plo ahah, keep it up.

Robert Graham... Did anyone say it yet?

Yes they did! But Ty for recognizing it and Ty for watching!

Im not playing quads or trips on the button.

[@ItsEverythingElse]

Seems like you underestimate how often someone hits two pair or a set. There is no such thing as a "complete blank" in PLO.

[@ploprofessor]

I would highly encourage you to test out the button principle. It works (of course not all the time but you’ll be surprised how often it works). Ty for the comment and ty for watching

[@mumblesbadly7708]

Gotta say… I only watch these videos for the intro music. Okay. That’s not the COMPLETE truth. I also watch it for fashion tips.
