Re: 100 PLO: Get chips in fast???
So I ran some equity calculations (thanks to 'wazz' who posted a link to Pro Poker Tools in another thread)
8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] had 29% equity against what ended up being the three other hands in the main pot. In the side pot it had 35.7% equity against the two other hands. Plus I gain protection if one of the two remaining hands makes the other fold (up to 40-45%). Based on some other calculations, the only way I've found that I'm pooched is if someone has bigger diamonds and someone has a higher four-card run-down. Then I'd have, in some cases, just under 20% equity. When I was there I saw this as a situation that Rolf Slotboom talks about...how well an 8765 (in his examples, double-suited) does against a strong high-card hand. That said, I wasn't sure if I'd have the balls to go for it. |

dont shortstack plo [/ QUOTE ] Moral objection or I'm missing value? Shortstacking has allowed me into the game and learn quite a bit with much less risk. I don't have nearly enough $$ online to play more than .10/.25 with a full buy-in. |

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I have no illusion that I'm learning much about playing after the flop. I'm just trying to get into the action because, for whatever reason, I can't take NLHE. That said, there are some valuable lessons I've picked up from short-stacking and watching (putting people on hands, value of marginal hands based on prior action, etc.) And shorties are much less stressful for multi-tabling. |
