drnkRise Progress Log
Hello,
I just finished week 1 of the PLO 10 week transformation program and am excited to be part of the community. I was mainly a NLHE player that dedicated study/solver time to playing it and had switched over to PLO. I am looking to build a solid foundation with the 10wk program and shift my mindset to PLO as well as balance other parts of my life. I appreciate the constant support from the team here and peers that are on the same journey!
Vision: I am a part-time poker player looking to expand the understanding of the game through self-understanding, analysis and study to become a respected player as well as supplement my full time income.
Purpose: I challenge myself to become proficient at new games and PLO is a way to look at theory differently. Life is unknown and I like to be prepared to think through it holistically the same way we look at poker, which will provide myself and my family independence.
Milestones:
– Complete PLO 10 week transformation
– Read 4 PLO/mental game books (I rarely read, so putting this milestone down to hold myself accountable)
– Log and study 100 PLO hand histories of my own
– Log 100 hours of PLO study
– Complete PLO MTT course (I have had some success at WSOP PLO MTT and need a better foundation)
– Travel internationally for PLO cash/MTT game
– Win WSOP PLO Tournament (I am sure everyone would love a bracelet!)
I will keep you all posted as we go, thanks for the warm welcome!

Hey @drnkrise
Welcome to the community and to the PLO Mastermind it’s great to have you on board 🙂
How have you been finding your transition so far from NLHE to PLO? I hope that it is going well for you!
I wish you the best of luck with your goals and look forward to seeing further updates from you on your progress, as well as reading about you winning a bracelet in PLO hopefully next year 🤞

Ash,
Appreciate the additional welcome as the transition to PLO has been interesting seeing the RFI/3bet/4bet strategies as powered through and am entering week 3 of PLO transformation. More to follow in the upcoming weeks! Sidenote: I had a top 25 run in the $600PLO WSOP Event, looking to turn that into #1 next year!
One question that I had on general approach to studying vs. my specific table regulations: I play where the maximum bet is $300 and max per street is $1200 (1 bet, 3 raises); basically it is a $5-$300 spread limit. General bluff frequencies by the river have to be lower (in my mind) as I would be betting $300 into a $1.5K-$2.5K pot. Also, if I get to the river, I feel like I have to call any $300 with medium/strong hands. I understand if this is covered in future weeks, but that has been on the top of my brain and will help with how I approach the rest of the PLO transformation, thanks!
