Let's try this GTO thingy…
Hey guys!
I’ve been playing poker seriously for last 12 years (last 5 semi-seriously). I have always been what they nowadays refer to as “feel player”. I studied the game, but back then there wasn’t programs that gave you correct answers; it was mostly watching videos of top players in action on coaching sites and discussing hands with friends.
Of my first 7 years when I played full time, I was really fortunate to be at the right place at the right time and managed to win a bit over half a milly. At some point I took an extended break, things were getting gradually worse in online poker (sites focusing on high-rake low-edge games like Spins, removal of rakeback and bonuses on most sites etc) and at the same time I started doing really well in some high risk investments so I basically quit playing for a living. Since then I’ve dabbled a bit in Spins, in Chinese apps playing NL fullring and live poker playing whatever runs, but haven’t taken any of them really seriously more than a couple of months at a time.
Fast forward to end of 2020 when I got wrecked in high-stakes 5-card PLO live game and decided to see what Internet wizards had to say about PLO strategy. I did some research and quickly came to conclusion that this site is probably best for PLO strategy. Initially my goal was to study for live 5-card PLO game, but I accidentally stumbled onto JNandez ‘s “10-Week PLO Transformation” course and I was shocked! I had no idea PLO hands could even be charted and categorized preflop, and then the Preflop Helper and PLO Trainer, amazing. Due to these newfound resources I decided to put my live 5-card aspirations in the background and focus on playing 4-card online for the time being.
Currently i’m playing PLO200 at GG. At this time I have no idea if i’m winning player at these stakes, but thanks to investments I don’t have to grind my way up from micros and I don’t mind paying some “school money” as long as i’m losing less than 10bb/100 in EV.
My goal for the foreseeable future is to start beating PLO200 for 5bb/100 at least. If GG doesn’t cap my rakeback I could potentially be happy with being breakeven player at PLO500 aswell, but I doubt they will be so generous for long 😀
