How to beat PLO25

[piiop]

Troll,

There's no doubt that this strategy will beat $25 games and like you said, there are other styles and other strategies that will result in winning poker. However, I think there are some points you make that are not optimal. It also seems like this type of play will not allow you to expand and grow as a player or win for anywhere near as much at especially as you move up in limits.

Here are a few points that stood out the most:

Starting cards - This seems way too tight, especially for 6max.

Position "LP you can loosen up a tiny, tiny bit, but don't over do it." - Again too tight, you can loosen up a lot in LP. This game is all about position - use it.

3 "bluff very little," - Well yes and no. Obviously don't bluff calling stations, but there are a lot of situations that you can pick up the pot with a pure bluff. It's a pretty situational thing to explain, but you just have to pay attention. Don't check behind when you missed your draw only to lose to 2nd pair. If there's a 3way hand that goes check, check, check on the flop, then check on the turn pot it. Agression is good.

Raising - You only mention the CO and button as spots to raise. Obviously, your pfr will be highest from those positions, but you can still be raising from other positions.

Flop play - This is table dependant and in some cases your advice is exactly right. Like if there are a lot of raised pots or games where stack sizes will make it where usually someone is allin by the turn. I think this actually happens at more aggressive mid limit games. At low limits, there not only are a lot of unraised pots, but opponents are betting the pot as frequently or betting the turn as much. In these games, you can peel the flop a lot more liberally in position. It's a pot limit game. You pay a little on the flop and win a lot win you hit or lose nothing when you miss.

To your 2nd post:

Preflop Tightness - It soundslike playing too many tables is the problem here, not your preflop play. Yes, playing more hands leads to closer decisions, but that doesn't mean you shouldnt play them.

Straights - I am raising A765s almost always and I'm almost always playing A854s and 7652s. "Again, this is probably a finer point, you are right you could make money wtih 765, but by not playing it how much money are you leaving on the table?" - If it makes you money, why would you not play it?
