I don’t think that is what people worry about when they mean bankroll concerns with PLO. It’s not that they will lose a few extra BB to the pros per 100 hands. They worry about the catastrophic risk of ruin inherent in PLO. They worry about losing many buyins in a single session and not being rolled for the variance.

Ok, well, a reg I battled with for years offered to stake me on Poker Bros. He said he knows I have my own roll but said whatever level was the highest I’d plan on playing, I should play higher because it’s stupid soft and that’s the point of the stake.
So, that’s how I met the agent and what not. I don’t know how my reg buddy met him but I can ask (also, a different reg buddy coincidentally uses the same agent independent from us; I didn’t even know until we saw each other at the tables and had a laugh about it; we both knew each other joined but that was it) . We settle rakeback every monday so I cashout once a week, instant bitcoin transfer.
@WichitaDM vouched even harder for his agent and neither of us are shilling, rather just looking out for you. It’s definitely something you should try, to see if it’s a good fit.

Yeah, I thought about this after I posted but I realized I meant the same thing. The risk of ruin is still there, even more so, depending, just hidden in plain sight.
Yah, PLO variance can just be stupid at times. Had a stretch last year where I lost 65 buyins over a week (about 10k hands) and immediately after that I won 70 buyins over 5 days (15k hands, I like to play a lot when I’m sunrunning and don’t play much when downswonging). I was about a 5 bb/100 winner in those games, so not one of the elite crushers, but probably just outside the top 3-5 at those stakes on that site.

Heh, I never replied to this.
The screenshot was posted before I started playing on The Brothers Poker. For now I’ll just say I’m never folding three wheel cards to those jokers. The only worry is getting 4 and 5bet. which they’re probably not doing.
The only reason I did is there was one player potting every street every hand no matter what. So pretty much any stack was getting put all in by the river no matter what.
Much easier to wait for better equity plo8 hands. Also we may have the same agent. Mine pays out rb early am monday like clockwork. Does his skype handle start w g?
Lol don’t worry I’m just laying it on thick with the “don’t be a nit” mess, mainly to illustrate how surreal Poker Bros is.
Yeah, in a table like that you don’t want to cough up BBs after calling raises then facing 4bets. Like in this specific screenshot seeing a 3bet flop is fine but folding is right if the OR has even a slight propensity to get 4bet happy.
Also, lol, it’s fine to save yourself the headche and stick with a2 and strong a3 etc in these spots at a table playing this way, the action will be there.
Can anyone give me the lowdown on if there are any playable poker sites these days which will accept Australians? (Probably the same as the ones who will accept US). “Playable” meaning not entirely consisting of pros. BTC is ok.
The guy to my immediate left was the pot every street culprit. Not ideal.
I’ve been pretty deep in poker culture for 20 years and never heard the term sun running. Is this new?
saw the edit
Yeah this is what I meant; 2458 is a monster but it’s an implied odds monster. Even if you’re like me and are also going nuts on a 3 8 Q flop and what not, that still requires hitting the flop just so.
It does… Lol.
I don’t think it’s that new and I thought it was a fairly common term, but maybe not.
I think it’s fairly common, running like the sun etc, aka running hot
Gkers be a good abbreviation for it? If so that’s hilarious that it may be the same guy.

Kinda random but do any of y’all do any DB analysis or coaching/know anyone that does? The c4p stables on 22 intimidate me for some reason.
I’m rolled for up to 100nl but I guess I would prefer some kind of 3-6 month CFP contract so my coach would be more invested. Currently beating 100nl on bros over small sample. Break even at 25zoom over larger sample. Played ~1 mil hands lifetime but hadn’t played seriously for almost a decade prior to this year.
22 pg&c thread with some more background. Sorry for linking there but I just can’t give the place up completely. We back after a loooooong break - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums
I feel like I’m very close to a breakthrough. Could be delusion, idk.

Thomas Pinnock seems legit, judging by his material and that he apparently coaches some really good players. I personally haven’t been coached by him, but he’s someone I’d consider if I wanted coaching or DB analysis. Here is his pricing (in BTC) - https://www.zenithpoker.com/shop/
First check out his free video course, preflop charts and youtube channel.

New scandal! He created a “Dream Machine” - ooooh sounds high tech! What is it? How does it work? Is he a super genius Deux Ex Machina guy?
Well it’s two computers - one with a solver running and one to play poker.

Apparently this is technically illegal because it’s “software”. But it makes you wonder - is Excel software? Don’t solvers take forever to crunch numbers anyway? Seems like you only need pre-made tables for this.
What if you just write every spot down and have a giant card catalog next to your desk?
