Hello Chamelukaon! Welcome to the forum.

You should post some stats as well,,inclucing AF AFq on all streets, also expected winrates and observed winrates, etc. What stakes is the first graph in? Or could you make it in bb. Its hard to figure how many buy ins are you actually below EV there. But if I assume youre 40 bi below there its actually very common in PLO..

Also,,,if we expect your true winrate is 1BB/100 over the course of 200,000 hands with stdv 160BB/100 theres 38,992 % chance of you being in a loss after 200,000th hand just because of variance. The deviation itself is 3.58BB/100 or 7155BB in total.

But enough of that! Good luck Luka in your journey! Lets hope the things will turn around for you soon and youll be same amount above EV! Cool

What have you been playing before transfering to PLO? Maybe a MTT player? Because your VPIP/PFR/3b is very low,,should loosen up and run it up to 27/20/10 (Ben Grundy actually runs 75 VPIP,,,but thats another level of skill) or something, but even if not, your 3 bet is way, way too low and Id say thats a big leak in PLO. You should deff do more 3betting rather than calling, especially with your strong draws. But since you play very tight you probably dont even get many chances to 3bet your opponents. Also you do a lot of folding id say cosidering your AF AFq ratio, avoid that, you are being exploited in this way.. Id say loosen it up, play your big draws (Q high+ flush draws on unpaired boards with raising 3betting etc, also your straight draws but id go with 13 outers on a passive tables and 17-20 outers on aggressive action table. Only call when you have reason to - if trapping with nuts for example.

I have played NLHE up to NL20 never beaten micros Sad I heard that those stats are fine to beat micros because there is not enough good players (maybe im wrong). The problem is that i should observe more table and find spots where i can value bet and witch players. What and where do you play ?

Its true that you running 80bi below EV might have something to do with playing micro limits. Since most of the players overvalue their unsuited big pairs or small sets etc., and gii with not enough equity. Thats why I generaly dont like to play those. But even so those stats are tight for PLO, as Ive said especially that 3bet one. Thats tight even for NLHE standards Smile As a general advice heres a PLO 6max starting chart. Its divided by position and action:

unp = Unpaired
1p = One pair
2p = Two pair
ds = Doublesuited
ss = Singlesuited
r = Rainbow

As youve said. not observing players and bad table selecion can lead to big loses in PLO. As for starters observe and exploit two things, who plays weak hands and who folds a lot to aggression. If on action table do lot of x/r with your big hands, including q+ (on some J+ flushdraws with unpaired boards) or your 13+ (17+ on certain tables) outer straight draws. As in nlhe the more aggressive table you play on the tigher your range should be and vice versa.

I play most of the games there are, NLHE, PLO, O8, 2-7 or mixed games (which is my favorite format) 100-600NL/PL or up to $4/$8 limit.

Hello!
Didn't play that much last day's because of job... Few day's ago i made a deposit of 25€ to Unibet where i'm playing ATM NL4 and made +60€ in 2day's. I was searching something in tournament lobby and accidently register to plo 10€ tournament (didn't cash) and lost 10€. Today i saw promotion for omaha and start to play plo10 i made 1BI so my current BR is 81.46€ at Unibet (I have some money at other site so my whole BR is arround 150$). I decide to made 2BI shot to PLO10 if i bust those 20€ im going back to NL4.
