However, I have learned this throughout the past year or so of playing live poker solely: take your time with decisions. There is no clock like online, so you can carefully think through each decision. Honestly, you should already play a little bit of each scenario out ahead of when it actually happens, but shy of that, TAKE YOUR TIME.The Poker Meisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289059101454598371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803565406050693453.post-68889453543854491232013-01-04T23:26:43.500-05:002013-01-04T23:26:43.500-05:00No doubt, PLO takes a combination of patience and ...No doubt, PLO takes a combination of patience and paranoia to play effectively. Bluffs are rare in this game, or so we tell ourselves, and therefore we look for the nuts... and the uber nuts, for if you play the game often enough, you see the quads and straight flushes. (I love quad eights for it seems I get this hand more often than any other quads, which also results in me calling preflop every time I get a pair of eights. Yeah, I know.) Yet, I can only recall one hand in which a player called to the river to get better quads... vs my eights. I knew he hit it and still called. Why? Because if quads beat you, then you did nothing wrong by calling off your stack. I've since resolved to never fold holding the nuts according to the board, but to just chuckle, say "Nice hand," (plus make a mental note to vomit later) and take heart that you too will do the same to someone else in the future.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862097993500205741noreply@blogger.com
