You are the only PLO vlog I watch simply because your logic in game is spot on. Thanks for your help on getting me to understand a game I enjoy but never learned before. Great channel!
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. That is definitely one of the main goals, to help people understand the major differences between this and hold em. I was also considering making some shorts going over the major differences as well, stay tuned and thanks again.
The K887 hand. Instead of raising on the flop the simple thing s remembering a set is a dog to a wrap/flush draw on the flop but turns into a favorite on the turn with only one card to come. Those are the kind of hands you want to wait to pile money unless you flop top set with some sort of redraw.
That’s a great point, I didn’t feel he was that strong. I put him on a pair plus open ended where I’d be a favorite so check raising flop would have been ideal
Great call on the QQ86 hand. I feel like if I make that call, it's just a "shrug if he's got it, he's got it". But, Your thought process was really clear, and I appreciate that the most about the vlog.
Thanks man, I definitely try to give y’all a clear picture of my mindset during these hands especially the big spots like that one. Having such a small player pool at my game definitely helps me out a lot in certain spots. I appreciate the feedback as always, good luck at the tables.
Another great session. I won $2800 profit on Saturday. I won a $750 high hand the same day also with a straight flush on the flop in a huge pot. I love PLO, please upload more often. I will try to use your 4 hour mark in my next session tomorrow.
That’s awesome, great session. I believe my biggest winning live session is just short of that. I’m doing some traveling at the moment but when I’m back home I plan on trying to at least upload a regular vlog and a short per week. How long are your sessions on average?
Definitly played good in this session on the hands reviewed. Really like hearing that you are using previous experience with certain players to determine certain decisions. Its good you know how your perceived. If you feel like your in your comfort zone now, I think your + EV in the game and much better than before.
Thanks, I believe I played better in this session than in the previous one especially with my Aces. Having a small player pool in the game definitely gives me that advantage but I also know it goes both ways which is why I try mixing up my play at times. I’m certainly more comfortable in the game now compared to when I started the vlog months ago. I appreciate your consistent and insightful feedback.
That’s the best way IMO, I learned a principle at my first real job, keep it short & simple (KISS) vs keep it long & lengthy (KILL) Thanks for the feedback man!
Props on the QQ86 hand and being able to read between the lines. Would be sick if guy had an underhouse and nine saved you but I think he would have showed you the suck out.
Thanks, it was a tough decision in the moment but I felt like JT8 was a very strong possibility for him and based on the spr he kind of had to try to steal it by representing the boat. I agree, I don’t believe he had 77 or 55.
If you are playing for a living I recommend 6 months living expenses set aside plus a roll between 30-50 buyins deep for live full-ring PLO I play for a living at 2/2 PLO with a $5 rock, 5/5 with a $10 rovk and just started with 10/10 with a $25 rock Gl out there
I agree with Anthony, a lot of sources will tell you 25 buy ins but of course the more the better so 30-50 is a good range. This next piece of advice also seems very obvious but you’d be surprised at how many people get it wrong, keep your life roll (living expenses) completely separate from your bankroll so Anthony’s recommendation of having 6 months living expenses put off to the side is very smart. Let us know how it goes!
@@DonkFishPoker Yeah, maybe next time when I visit the area! I was in Menifee for 2 nights. No game on Sunday. On Monday the action was great, mix of tight players and loose players. Overall, I had fun playing there.
Well played laddy!!! I got absolutely wrecked last night and mildly jealous hahaha - but hey! My happiness for your success far outweighs my petty ego ;) Keep up the grind fellow PLO comrade
Good wins but man this seems extra tight. To be fair, I'm a NLH player just starting to learn about PLO so it might just be my perception. I enjoy the quick vids
I am a tight player but plo is a more nutted game compared to NLH. Hands that can’t easily make the nuts aren’t usually worth playing. Most players especially when coming from NLH play way too many hands because having 4 cards makes every hand look playable. Tight is right in plo especially at my game.
@@drdrayfromla99 exactly, they have a very small chance to win and it’s very difficult realizing even realizing your small equity with them. It’s a drawing game so the more draws the better.
@@DonkFishPoker Thank you Wayne, I honestly did not expect answer, but I can see you are a great person giving inspiration to all of us. I will definitely try to be there at least once during my two weeks stay and I will for sure say hello. Good luck and see you.
@@blazetrifunovski2568 Of course, happy to help. I’m just a guy who likes poker and I’m happy to share my journey with others. I’m looking forward to meeting you.
@@DonkFishPoker Hi Wayne, I am also a guy who loves poker(but mostly PLO) very, very much. Tell me first of all, do you like tennis? If yes, how far do you live from the Indian Wells tennis center in Palm Springs? As I said, I am there on a business trip for tennis and if I get a couple of free tickets during Oct.04-17 I can invite you for tennis day or night. Let me know.
@@blazetrifunovski2568 I do enjoy it. Haven’t played for years and I’m not very good but it’s fun and it’s good exercise. Im a couple hours away from there. Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate that. I might be in Vegas during those dates but I will definitely let you know.
Call your hands please. When you make a hand, less experienced players may not notice. It would help if you point out when you make a hand. Thanks .. new subscriber .. love PLO
I hear you there. Most people in the game throw the two cards to make their best hand out first which is what I do as well to make it easier. Thanks for subbing, I appreciate the feedback.
Good call and another well played session. Recently, I’m personally struggling on how to play trips and I’m constantly getting boated over boated (top boat versus 2nd). I’m resorting to just check calling on trips but not sure how to get out of top boat versus 2nd boat (flop would be like A55, I have A5 but villain has AA). Do I just take the coolers on the chin or can I get away from them…maybe depending on the opponent?
You’re going to lose at least some money in those hands but knowing your opponents can help you make big lay downs. I one time correctly folded KK against AA preflop mostly due to my particular opponent. Coolers happen to everyone and even some of the best players can’t get away from them so don’t let it get you down, just part of plo.
You mean with the subtitles right? This was brought to my attention by another viewer, I’ll adjust my graphics a bit in the next video to correct the issue. Thanks for pointing it out.
Damn dude, I could watch your contet for about 6 hours straight. You always start by saying that you take everyone's advice into consideration. Do me a solid; post videos between 15-20 hours. Yes, hours, not minutes:) Anyway, on the real, Wayne, your content is fire, it just needs to be quadrupled in time. Peace, Game On
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I’m going to try to utilize my time better to be able to get 2 per week out in the near future. Thanks for the feedback!
OK, BANANNA.. NOW. the second hand u had, a,k,9,6 u were last to act.. why did u not pot it.. u know if anyone had anything they would have raised pre.. i think u would have won the hand if u did.. anyway apart from that hand.. i think u played well..
I limped utg, I suppose I could have potted it blocking AA n KK but decided to just call, player to my left made it $25. Thanks man, I believe I played better this session compared to last.

@@DonkFishPoker ya if you think thats the range then it makes sense. that flop to turn hint just helps out a lot in the long run
@@watchinghh for sure, better to get it in on the flop with big draw and sets on the turn
@@DonkFishPokerkeep the content comin
@@watchinghh thanks man, new video out tomorrow.
Nice call with the 8-6 man!
Thanks man, combo of a read on the player and situation. I like to go with my gut on tough situations like that and I’m glad it worked out there.
Great call on the QQ86 hand. I feel like if I make that call, it's just a "shrug if he's got it, he's got it". But,

We don't actually know if it was a good call though, he may have hit one of his four outs.
@@therealjackwhite1523 That’s very true. I don’t believe he had 77 or 55 based on his facial expression once I called but maybe.
LOve the plo blog big pots

@@DonkFishPoker I would say my average time is 6 plus hours.

Has anyone mentioned you sound a lot like Toby, from The Office? 🤣. Really enjoy the PLO hands - thanks for posting 👍🏾👍🏿👍
No you’re the first lol. Thanks man, I really appreciate it.
Lmao I could kinda see him lookin like Toby a good 20 years from now too
@@viktorious11able Who’s Toby?
You are running hot the whole session
Yeah I didn’t have too many tough spots besides that turn shove on 9759 hand. Better to be lucky than good
i like your vlog style , only

As Always great Plo vlog… I’m starting out with 1/2 Plo… what kind of bankroll I need to play 5/5 Plo… thanks for your time…👍🏼

You should maneuver the captions or the board . When I watch on my phone the captions always block the board and parts of your hand .
I’ll definitely adjust it on the next video. Thanks for the feedback.
I visited Lake Elsinore casino yesterday and today but unfortunately didn't run into you. Had a nice session though.
Oh nice, I’m out of the town for a week but maybe next time. I’m glad you did well, how was the action?
@@DonkFishPoker Yeah, maybe next time when I visit the area! I was in Menifee for 2 nights. No game on Sunday. On Monday the action was great, mix of tight players and loose players. Overall, I had fun playing there.
Awesome, out there for business? The Sunday game hasn’t run recently. Even when the game is bad it’s good typically.
Well played laddy!!!
I got absolutely wrecked last night and mildly jealous hahaha - but hey! My happiness for your success far outweighs my petty ego ;)

@@DonkFishPoker Thanks for the response. Tight is right... I'll give it a shot. Good luck next session.
@@alexm2848 Np, let me know how it goes. Thanks man.
Also, common mistake amongst hold em players coming into plo is overplaying overpairs with no draws post flop against multiple opponents. Good luck.
@@drdrayfromla99 exactly, they have a very small chance to win and it’s very difficult realizing even realizing your small equity with them. It’s a drawing game so the more draws the better.
Wayne, when is the PLO game running? Every day? Morning or evening? I will be in the area and would love to play there.
It runs every Monday Wednesday and Fridays and usually starts around 9-10am. Awesome man, maybe we’ll bump into each other. Good luck at the tables!

This comment says it! Yeah great work keep it up. Improving my game on the cheap for sure.
OK, BANANNA.. NOW.
the second hand u had, a,k,9,6 u were last to act.. why did u not pot it..
u know if anyone had anything they would have raised pre..
i think u would have won the hand if u did..
anyway apart from that hand.. i think u played well..
I limped utg, I suppose I could have potted it blocking AA n KK but decided to just call, player to my left made it $25. Thanks man, I believe I played better this session compared to last.
You loss value by calling top set on flop. You always check bad turns and fold or just call
I know, I definitely should have check raised flop. Thanks for the feedback.
So much limping, checking, and calling. WAY TOO PASSIVE Bud.
Which hands in particular would you have played differently? I thought I found better balance in this session compared to the last one
