Crush $1/$2 PLO 6-Card with insights from a high-stakes crusher

[Five Card Guy @fivecardguy]

@eqpoker It's a bit difficult to get one. I've had a good experience with @Karlencho.

3BET: 5% Players, Attention – NGMI! 🚨

Brand new to 6-card PLO? You 3-bet too much… until you realize it doesn’t work.

Then you panic and start 3-betting only 5%.

Check how much you’re printing with 3-bets, and you’ll get it.

Expand your range, and watch your winrate increase.

If you’re playing 20% VPIP, you have no shot at beating $1/$2.

Playing too tight preflop comes from a lack of confidence in your postflop skills.

Study the spots where you feel uncomfortable, expand your VPIP, and watch your winrate grow.

EXCELLENT!
Note: I am not stating "IQ makes no difference above 100", only that"If it made no difference above 100, here are the consequences".
The real point is that it makes LESS of a difference above 100.
This is the "hockey stick" nonlinearity that discredits the notion of correlation.

Do you ever feel like one day you're crushing, and the next you don’t even know how to play the game?

It comes down to two things:

1️⃣ You don’t have a strong decision-making process.
→ Develop a step-by-step framework to evaluate each hand, so you can make consistent decisions even under pressure.

2️⃣ You're letting emotions dictate your play.
→ Adapting based on the last 10k hands will screw you. Many profitable plays feel bad in the short term, but the real loss comes from giving in to those feelings.

Why You’re Not Winning at $1/$2 PLO:

1️⃣ Playing too much poker: Limit yourself to a max of 4 tables and 120 hours/month. Quality > quantity.

2️⃣ Nitting up & waiting for big hands: Easy to exploit and won’t cut it. Fight for those small pots.

3️⃣ Inconsistent performance: Aim to play your A or B game in most sessions. Anything less, and you’re likely losing.

Immediately stop playing on Suprema Poker!

A new student appeared at our first 1-on-1 call and asked me to review his session, as he has not been able to win at low stakes over a large sample.

I took a second to think about how to delicately deliver the news to him. He has been playing against bots all this time.

Further Warning: COLLUSION RING SHELTERED BY THE SITE OWNERS

Back in 2021, I personally made over R$1M on the site. Naturally, I was interested in the high-stakes action.

After a couple of weeks of investigation, it became very clear to me that Suprema Poker is in total control of a large collusion ring.

This was also confirmed later when I brought up the issue with an agent. He advised me against reporting the accounts, as the owners only notify the cheaters to change their accounts.

The site also has a security team constantly monitoring the tables, but this is merely marketing and one of the tactics used to draw unknowing players into the honey pot.

"But bots are easy to beat! Let them play." - NO!

Over a sample of 84,192 hands, they managed to achieve a win rate of 19 EVBB/100.
