Hi guys,
unfortunately i have to cancel my coaching today. Why? Well i simply lost my voice due a cold. I can only whisper, and even that doesn't last for more than a few seconds.
Sorry for the inconvenience. If you guys have any plo related questions obviously feel free to ask in the forum.
It's a one time thing, and the coachings will resume as usual next week.
Regards,
Skod
Hi guys,
so like i mentioned in my coaching, i'd like to add a topic that we should focus on every session. The topic will be up to you, and you can discuss and advise topics here.
For example, say you are interested in deep 3b spots. For the first hour that i will play i will mark every hand where i made a deep 3b, and every hand where there was a possibility of a 3b but i declined it.
In the last 30mins we would then take a look at those hands, and discuss the topic further.
I hope you will like this additon, and feel free to post ideas.
Regards,
Skod
The idea of stabbing boards in a vacuum.
I actually feel captivated by bluffing on zoom (which equated to most of my losses), but when you think of it, the small pots multiway are usually there for the taking. Hence, I would like you to mark down your bluffs, why you did them, what lines of action we should take if we get called down to the river, etc. etc.
I think this would benefit those who watched stabbing the flop video you made and made some adjustments to our game.
As said by Acerbikas, the topic about bluffing in omaha is interesting.
But, a few scenarios which I find difficult when playing PLO are:
- betsize on the flop/ turn/ river, head's up/ multiway differences, when do my bet for thin value, and when would you potbet it?
- monotone flop oop when preflop agressor with no flush or full house outs
- AAxx hands flopping an overpair with no draw, when do you cbet? Why do or don't you cbet against certain players or with certain community cards?
- having a straight on the flop/ turn, then a flush completes on the turn/ river
edit: Also, how do you deal with the swings, they can be harsh in omaha!
Hey Skod! Just watching last Thursday's coaching and this hand made me think.
Pokerstars Zoom PL25
UTG (Hero) 669 bb
MP 41 bb
CO 94 bb
BTN 85 bb
SB 559 bb
BB 56 bb
Hero has A♦ 7♥ 6♦ 5♦
Hero raises 3,5 bb, 3 folds, SB calls, BB calls
Flop T♠ 8♠ 4♦ (3 players, 10bb)
SB checks, BB bets 8bb, hero folds
So we flopped a very non-nutty wrap, and backdoor NFD. BB donks big and we don't close the action, but we have position if we continue and it's unlikely short-stacked BB will fold here on flop so big stack SB after us can't bluff. Just folding here when we dont know if our straight is good when we hit it, or why?
Thanks for the coaching!
Easy fold here i would say 3way. I would call HU tough. Lot's more ways to outplay a single opponent than 2

Any ideas on the next video subject, Skod? How about donkbetting? I literally think this has been a largely untouched subject (I have definitely read or studied very little about it). It would also most likely include checkraising as a counter for it for comparisons so I guess it could work. I mean, in practice, various examples just pop up (when to cr with a set, when to donk it, when to donklead or donkbet as a bluff, etc.)

only zoom plo on coaching?
Mostly yes. The reason is quite simple. With zoom we can cover more spots and can stop the action if need be to talk about a hand. The games aren't that different at micros.

Ty Great Coach 
unfortunately in Italian "Zoom Poker" is not played due to lack of players, we are a poor ghetto because of the laws damned Italian AAMS 
Hi,
those are basically my definitions. A lag w/o 3bet is a guy that plays like 30/22/5, so he plays loose but only 3bets a small %. A superlag is a guy playing close to 40vpip, but still an obvious regular.

Hey. I am quite new at online poker, I know the rules and I played some poker mostly on facebook, also on some pokersites with micro stakes. I come from Slovenia. Could you please help me just with telling me how to start? Because there are so many videos on the internet and so many poker schools, so many poker sites... I am kinda confused.
Thank you in advance
