Mastering Small Stakes Pot-Limit Omaha: How to Crush Modern PLO Games – Book Review
Summary
Praise, Critique and Recommendation
Quotes
One of the biggest mistakes when approaching PLO is to play it like NLHE.
By making extreme adjustments to your opponents, you also expose yourself to becoming exploited. For example, if you are going to always bluff the one guy who you think is folding a lot on the river, he might pick up on it because you are bluffing so often. He might then counter-exploit you, by trapping and calling off frequently. Rather than focusing on adjusting against individual opponents, I want to provide you with a solid framework for a strong PLO strategy. Once this is established, we will cover when and how to deviate from this baseline to maximize your EV.
There are four steps to identify your optimal strategy: Understand the baseline (identify GTO). Identify how your opponent deviates from GTO (find leaks). Exploit your opponent's weakness (exploit). Cap the downside (limit downside).
Playing mostly by intuition is not a long-term recipe for success. In today's NLHE games, the GTO players are consistently dominating the exploitative ones.
