50PLO Live » Bluefire Poker Videos / Articles

Normally love your videos Jason but I felt you were a little uncomfortable/flustered doing a live commentary in games you're unfamiliar with. A lot of your reasoning and deconstruction on villains lines seemed kind of messy on the fly. I think post-recorded commentaries would work best for this and live play at your bread and butter limits.

perhaps better?

I'm a new member and this is the first of your vids that I've watched. I liked it a lot. Your analysis was really clear and very useful. Looking forward to watching more of your vids, Jason. As a relative noob to PLO, more $50plo would def be welcome. Thanks and Good Luck.

Ah. I forgot to ask, why you open to 3x (+1 per limper), instead of just pot it? I mean I don't know which option is better and I def. trust you, but I would be interested in your reasoning. Best regards!

Warning, I would have to rewatch the vid to be sure, but I would assume it was a combination of circumstance/variance and the fact that I was playing vs weaker competition. At higher stakes, I concern myself a lot more with balancing my frequencies in nearly all situations. At these stakes, I generally play everything as if it was in a vacuum. Regarding preflop sizing, I haven't put a lot of thought into it. I generally just open slightly smaller as I am a bit looser than average and it allows for more postflop play, especially when 3bet. I don't think it is a huge deal either way, but its something to think about. The biggest thing is that I usually try and open small when there are short stacks left to act behind me. I will typically minraise the button if there are shorties in the blinds.
