Phil Galfond MidStakes HU PLO

Discussion for Phil Galfond MidStakes HU PLO.

thanks phil. i enjoyed it alot. i prefer a lil higher stakes, but great job as always <3

Great video. Loved the format. Your thoughts on PLO are challenging, but really clear. A couple of quick questions: you mention timing tells on these opponents several times, and base some plays on those tells. Do you ever check to see how many tables your opponents are playing, in order to establish how confident you can be in your reads? What thoughts do you have on the subject? Looking forward to the next installment. Thanks!

Great vid!! More HU PLO plzzzz

Thanks for the comments guys. Good luck jumping back into it, Irwin.

Perfect vid series. Great to hear you talk in depth about aggro 3b'ers. Couple questions for here or maybe to talk about in next video. Could you give a couple of examples of the weakest hands you'd call a 3b with versus an aggro 3bettor, both headsup and button vs blind? How light would you call a squeeze button vs blinds? Any thoughts on my questions on ranges to call or 3bet an iso with in and out of position that I posted in your last PLO series?

Hey Treys... Could you repost those questions, or let me know which vid they are posted on. I hopefully can answer in the next vid. Hard to say a worst hand... it depends a lot on stack sizes and how good my opponent is. One big thing that I think most people mess up: You have to fold much more often vs. a 3bet if it's going to be a multiway pot. Trash hands rarely flop well enough to fight with two other hands.

(my reposted questions): Could you talk about open limped pots. If we assume a weak player limps from the hijack when you're in position or the cutoff if you're oop with 100 bb effective stacks, are you generally going to iso your opening range from that spot in position? If not, what would you likely overlimp (e.g. qq74r) or fold that you would have opened? How are you responding to an aggressive iso'er in the given situations? What do you want to call vs 3b in and oop?

A+++. ty for the hu plo phil.

moar hu plo

More PLO HU content PLZ !

treys, sorry for the late response. If he's a weak player, I'll be iso'ing most of the hands I play, even oop. If he was tougher and I did want to limp, I'd be more inclined to limp the hands that can't call a 3bet, like the QQ74r you mentioned. Against an aggro iso'er, you'd think we want to punish him and 3bet wide, but I actually call very often to get into a 3way pot with the fish. No need to get into crazy preflop battles with the tough reg when a fish is right there in the pot.

You gotta hate money to play mrsweets hu
