- I played one night at Borgata while I was back home in New Jersey. A walk down memory lane.
Thanks for watching!
I'm a live Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) poker player who has been inspired by many live poker vloggers such as Andrew Neeme, Brad Owen and Rampage, and now want to bring the great game of Omaha poker to UA-cam.
I typically play $5/$5 Pot Limit Omaha poker at Lake Elsinore Casino in California but will soon be traveling to play poker at other poker casino rooms in the US.

Hey, I'm Wayne aka donkfishpoker and I typically play live small stakes PLO. I'm going to be taking some shots at bigger games and traveling to play poker. Comments below if you know of a good PLO game I can go to.
My friend Rich pointed out to me that I say “Bellagio” not Borgata at the beginning of the video, I always mix those two names up 😂🤦♂️
Yeah, way different bro. Across the US from each other as well 😉
all look same
Lol
@@clayvision just about
Did you say that second session was a 2/2 PLO?? That sounds like it would be a total donk fest LOL Nice win!
Yeah 2/2 straight up, no $5 bring in. It definitely was a good game.
Thanks Ray, much appreciated!
we are made in HIS image
A good prayer:
I'm a sinner JESUS please forgive me for all my sins I know you shed your Blood for me on the cross at Calvary. Thank you JESUS for my salvation and for shedding they Blood for me. I love you JESUS.

Great to see you finally run good Wayne after taking a few bad losses. Keep you up the run good bro!
Thanks Osman, yeah it was nice to run good and it certainly helps out a ton haha. Good luck at the tables man
I'm surprised Borgata didn't tell you not to film.
You can choose to treat the game as a professional sport and embrace the opportunity to get PAID LIKE A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE or choose to treat it like a game and be lucky to break even.
Well said!
Dude!! Next time give us a heads up! I was just in A.C. recently and would of loved to play/ meet you. Maybe next time...
This was a last minute trip otherwise I would have told everyone ahead of time. Next time though. Good luck at the tables Joseph!
First hand: "the front door flush comes in on the river which obviously isn't good for me.... but it's the 2, so full house..." Are you slow-rolling your viewers lol
I’d say it’s more of a dramatic element to increase your viewing experience 😂
that ak76 hand on the turn is a spot where reviewing urself will pay off and memorization... i say this as, u will need to decipher when to take that free card vs bully protect like a NLH hand because u have specific reads on the players during the session.
I figured even if I was ahead there was a lot of bad rivers with 2 flush draws and straight cards. Thanks for the feedback!
Come over to parx next weekend. I’ll be there homie
And stay away from table games.
I’m already back in Cali but I should be back in a couple months. I haven’t ever been to Parx but I’ve heard the action is great.
The tables at my local casino are also 8 handed, i think its a remnant of 'social distancing' , but the casino can rake another table of 8 for every 4 tables that would have been 10 players
Yeah I heard a couple people at this table also mentioning that. It’s all about the bottom line haha
slow playing plo is a nice niche to have becuz almost everyone is a calling station so in a way, u end up pot controlling and minimizing ur bad beat loses... its not the greatest thing but its an outlook on the situation thats just genrally shitty
I agree, it’s nice to use in certain situations but could definitely backfire as well. I’d say generally it’s best to just fast play your hands because as you mentioned players don’t fold.
Far from broke
Going thru your catalog of vlogs, this one is excellent. Giving me confidence to test my PLO luck. Thanks for the content!
Watch my 5 tips video if you haven’t already done so, these are the 5 things that most helped me starting out.
Good luck Shannon, let me know how it goes!
Bro you live with Aces man. Jebus
Aces are good and contrary to popular belief they also win….sometimes 😂
Don’t ever play craps. It’s the devil
That’s exactly what I’ve heard about it which is why I’ve stayed away 😂
I hate those chips at borgata! Nice session dude
Most people do, they’re hard to shuffle. Thanks Kevin, I appreciate the comment. Good luck at the tables!
Never seen so many aces in my life Gg bro
Getting them is the easy part but winning with them not always so easy haha. Thanks Jason, hope you’re doing well bro. I’ll be in Vegas 2 separate weeks in June for the wsop, maybe I’ll see you around
Nice call on the AK76 hand
Thanks Andrew, his line just seemed strange to me so I went with a read.
hey did they give u issues recording there. i tried. heard we weren’t allowed but can always be secretive. you’re on on twitter also?
also you grew up 45 mins north of ac. where at? i’m in same area
I never asked for permission. This session was played the day before the Super bowl which is probably why I was able to record without them saying anything. I grew up in Toms River. Instagram is the best way to communicate with me
@@DonkFishPoker oh nice. i work in TR. from lacey. there’s a poker club in tr. i’ll hit ya up there. just started a channel
You said belaggio
I always get Bellagio and Borgata mixed up. Thanks for letting me know Alex, much appreciated.
Do you use the free version of Imovies for all editing? Or do a subscription?
I personally use iMovie which was displayed on the first 40 vlogs or so but these last 10 or so have been edited by the editor who uses a paid program, Adobe premier I believe is what he uses.
@@DonkFishPoker okay. Yeah Im trying to figure out how to put the overlay of the hands on the screen.
@@WH4TEH4MMER In IMovie you can use Keynote to import graphics. I literally just typed keynote into iMovie on here when I started. It’s a bit of extra work but it gets easy after a while like anything else. Hope that helps Jordan, good luck
Could you go over like what your win rate is and what a decent PLO player can expect to make and maybe show some of the chart, so we can see how much variance there is? I know this isn’t any of our business and I appreciate what you share already! I’m just new to PLO and curious what is realistic. Thanks!!
My one year anniversary on the vlog is coming up so I plan on going over my results around that time but I won’t leave you empty handed lol. Lifetime I win about 2/3 of my sessions. Standard win rates are between 5-15bb per hour and I fall within that range as well although I’ve slowly increased that over time. The variance will always be there but what I did when I was starting out in an effort to try to minimize it is play shorter sessions and buy in shorter as well. Hope that helps Colton. Thanks for the comment. Are you looking to start playing plo live?
@@DonkFishPoker awesome! I look forward to that video! That sounds like a good win rate. I have started playing PLO a little bit live at some home games. But have only played a few sessions. They don’t have actual PLO at casinos where I’m from. I’ve been watching training videos on CLP and that has helped a ton. I think your videos will help also. I like that you show, which hands are borderline and explain either why you call or fold pre. I think that’s very helpful to someone like me. Thanks for the reply!
@@thecolttuf Bummer, one of my goals with the channel is to change that fact for people like yourself, where are you located? It’s a great game with a ton of potential but it is much more complicated than hold em. You got it man!
@@DonkFishPoker thanks man! Yeah it’s a fun game, I like how there’s more to it. Also seems like the people around me don’t know the game great, so I think there is definitely an opportunity to be profitable. I’m in MN, so with gambling laws they only allow a max bet of 100. So they have spread limit Omaha but not pot limit and it doesn’t run often.
Nice cards bro
Thanks Ronny, much appreciated bro 🍻 Good luck at the tables
I live in Passaic Co grew up in clifton about an hour north from you
Nice, good ole Jersey haha. I believe you said you play online, do you play live as well?
@@DonkFishPoker it's a pain for me to get to Atlantic city so I play online but I play very low stakes... I played live 3 sessions last year won 350 in 2 hours at borgata .. won 700 in 4 hours at Mt airy and 200 in 2 hours at Mt airy the next day and Mt airy literally had 3 tables of 1 2 nlh and that's it lol it was 2 vacations one with my bro and one with my girl at Mt airy... wish I played more when I went to borgata
@@DonkFishPoker I can't drive for stupid reasons but I would play at least 3 times a week if I could but I found a game up near me like 10 mins away I'm just worried about the home game thing plus I found it online .. but I heard other than the rake being high it is a legit game with progressive jack pots and they play 1 2 5 nlh so maybe I'll give it a shot but I'm aiming to get down to AC and play some 2 5 hold em and what do they have for plo 2 2 ?
Congrats again on another winning session Wayne and good to see more variety in the locations where you’re playing.
Thanks man, I’m glad you’re enjoying them. I have videos of 2 more different locations coming up so stay tuned. I appreciate the feedback, good luck at the tables bro 🍻
Nice
Running good helps haha
One of the tightest players I've ever witnessed
I am pretty tight however I think this session makes me seem even tighter than I actually am. I played a shorter session and had AA in both big pots but thanks for the feedback Steph and good luck at the tables!
@@DonkFishPoker why don't u play holdem ever
@@stephpom5373 I’ve tried a couple times over the past 5 years but I just find it way too boring so I’m retired from 2 card poker.
Without seeing the guys face, I know exactly who is sitting in front of you in the colorful button down. hahaha gotta love AC
Haha yeah someone else recognized him too. Seems like he’s a regular there.
Hey, Wayne, next time you plan to play in The Garden State, please consider sending out a heads-up so that viewers of your blog who are nearby -- just outside Philly in my case -- can head to the Shore and see you in action.
I definitely will, this session was more of a last minute thing otherwise I would have told people ahead of time. Looking forward to meeting you next time Nicholas, good luck at the tables man
Well done bro..so I got to play holdem and not plo because there was a massive waiting list for plo so couldnt get in with only 3 tables so next time..I played holdem for 3 days striaght Fri -sun and had winning session on all 3..how i did it was ibjust played tighter than i ever did and just blocked the negative things in my head and just decided that i was going to just have fun and enjoy myself i folded tons of hands but it job the done i basicslly played like a nit lol..if thats the only way i can win with the cards being deslt to me this past 2 months then so be it lol
Yep tight is right in 2 card too haha. Awesome job Randy, keep up the great work
@ 1:58, I know that feeling in that scenario. Sometimes it feels ok to call with aces there, but no real redraw and you might be in deep shit already. I like the fold.
Thanks man, plus most people who lead from early position on the flop will very likely continue betting the turn which was my main reason for folding.
I'm digging the slow-motion - some of the trails are giving me flashbacks 😝 also well played 👍 Were they doing bomb pots at all on the Borgata PLO Tables?
Thanks Michael, no they didn’t allow them there.
Nice session. Love to see it 💰
Thanks bro, running good helps
I know that shirt…
What shirt?
@@DonkFishPoker guy in the 1 seat (?) across from you at beginning of video with the wild patterned shirt. Pretty sure his name is Wayne too.
@@reedorem2042 Yes I believe you’re right. Seems like he’s a regular there.
Crushed AC! Hail Wayne. Keep the vlogs coming.
Thanks Dan, much appreciated!
Very good thought process and going for thin value with the AK and getting them to bluff and sticking with it to look them up....you were spot on their action made no sense. What did they think you'd have that was worse?
Thanks Philip, it just didn’t pass the sniff test haha. How have you been?
@@DonkFishPoker Doing well, just got back from some vacation time on an island :) Now paying for it back at work! Will look to catch up with you down at the Lake or other spot this spring.
@@300lbcanary2 That’s awesome, it’s always nice getting away for a bit. Of course you are haha. Looking forward to it!
Sweet session! Lemme know when you get down to Fl
For sure, what part of Florida are you in?
congratulations on the win, glad to see you running well
Thanks Monty, running good definitely helps.
Just started watching, you called Borgata...."Bellagio" i had to do a double take lol
Yeah you’re exactly right, I get those two mixed up as I grew up playing at Borgata but now go to Vegas and Bellagio more now 😂🤦♂️
@@DonkFishPoker also emailed you a link to my new channel and vlog, would love your input!
@@anthonymartino403 awesome man, congrats, the first step is often the hardest. I’ll check it out and get back to you ASAP
Paul C and Rich S? Throwback names there. 🤣
You know it, the old crew 😂
@@DonkFishPoker I haven't seen them in years. Tell them I said hi
@@Streetlight51 just did lol, yeah this was first time in a while as well. Unfortunately I don’t come back home as often as I’d like.
LFG 🔥. Nice job.
Thanks Tony, much appreciated!
You were in AC? I wish I knew, I would have met up.
Just one night and I was very last minute or else I would have let everyone know. Do you ever play there?
@@DonkFishPoker Rarely. Parx is closer (1.5 hours vs 2.5 hours) and the games are better typically at Parx.
@@ASG-nm4cz Yeah it looks and sounds that way. AC just has the nostalgic effect of the good ole days haha
Game is great here, sorry I missed you! Hope you had a good trip to jersey
I did, I mostly spent time with my parents. You play in AC a lot?
@@DonkFishPoker yep, tons of hours spent there over the years lol
@@soxhater819 yeah me too back in the day, too bad AC has gone downhill over the years
Nicely done.
Thanks Blake, running good helps
That fold with AAK5 on KJ6r was atrocious!
I thought it was close, how would you have played it?
Well, you're blocking KK, and there's no flush draws, so he likely either has JJ, 66, a hand like 9 10 Q, or a bluff. I'd just call the flop and see what he does on the turn. Or, you can even put in a small raise on the flop, and if he continues, then you can slow down. But as played, you didn't have enough info to say, "Oh my AA are no good here because he lead into me. I should fold"
@@belmicah I figured he would likely continue large on the turn where I don’t really love many cards but I see your point. Probably best to call and evaluate. Thanks for the feedback Micah, much appreciated!
I totally disagree. I think you played that totally correct. Small blind calls out of position, probably mad that the straddle didn’t 3bet. Fires off $100 into a $125 pot. He was hoping for you two to come along or even raise. All those hands are crushing a dry over pair with a blocker. What are you hoping for? That turn was going to be expensive. I’m sure if you thought he was bluffing or that flop didn’t hit his range of play you would have snapped him off. Great job with picking your battles with AAxx.
@@JohnwFOC And that’s one of the reasons poker and plo in particular is great, so many situations arise where people have differing opinions on. He definitely could have had a wrap but more likely a set plus I felt that he was going to fire almost full pot on most turns which would have been difficult for me to call without improvement. Thanks for the feedback Doc, much appreciated 🍻
