Hope you are well and glad you enjoyed last weeks radio show. I was planning on having another, but a very different special guest on the show tonight but it just hasn't planned out. So, hopefully it will be next week.
Anyway, I don't have anyone as a co-host for tonight and I am in quite a few of the SCOOPs, so it is going to be extremely difficult to manage them optimally + the show + responding on the forum. As you all know, I LOVE a challenge and am more than happy to give it a go if enough of you are going to be present and want me to do so.
Let me know what you guys want to do.

SCOOPS start from 4pm, 7pm and 10pm. 3 sets of MTTs usually.
Yes, i'm going to play some PLO if the tables load in prob 30mins time. Going to chill then put in a solid session. Really hope the tables open, it's very tilting!

Hi John, obviously not a good result for you, but on the flip side it was great to hear your thoughts about the game and how you were playing, well worth the entrance fee!!
I am sure that will just be a small blip,
See you next week

There wasnt a lot wrong with the original format we played through the league games. If it aint broke etc...
That said the single rebuy offered a bit more to think about and there were a few different strategies about. Some elected to take it straight away, some didnt take it all. I opted to take it after about 20 mins when I had lost about a quarter of my stack. The issue I then encountered was trying to make sure I got to the add on without busting. I seem to remember a fair few didnt make it to the add on, perhaps due to losing both stacks.
Not sure what time the game finished as there seemed like a lot of chips in play due to the large add on.
All in all, better than the week before but still not as good as the original.

Was last weeks radio style too boring or ok? I'm quite conscious of the fact that we actually talked about poker for once! Tonight I am playing a few more scoops so I really can't do much different to last week. So if you want we can do the same again, otherwise leave it until next week and return to our usual frolic with quiz Qs.
Let me know what ya'll want.
Also, if you guys want to do the community home game, we need to do it before june 20th or so...as I plan on leaving for Vegas then.
Cheers,

shame there is no community game in the lobby - perhaps this is bf's way of further improving the structure?
I did make a moderate attempt at getting the home game off the ground but a lack of info was forthcoming from betfairs direction. I would still like it to happen but sorting it in the next 5 weeks or so might be a bit tight. Better to sort for the summer and let everyone have enough notice.

Calling BF Team, when will these games start up again, I find they are excellent value for money, great format 10,000 chips, etc good prizes and great banter, please keep up the good work... I like the idea of sporting prizes, but understand people prefer tickets to live games etc, maybe you could offer both, either a tourney package or Sporting Prize instead or both.

Sorry for the late reply, last couple days has been beyond tilting. Had my biggest buyin losing days ever, dropped 40 buyins in 2 days....plo is hell. about 40-50 buying under ev too for these two days. So my head has been all over the place.
Anyway, the tourney is buying...plus 1 rebuy and one addon at the end. So its basically $15.
I will also be starting off the quiz again if there are enough of you guys around.
Hope to get this show back on track.
See you shortly.

Seems like only couple people around and not too many entrants in the tourney tonight so I will feel very lonely talking to myself and no one listening.
I've finally got betfair to send out a mail out tomorrow to finally ramp things up, so the quiz will be back on next week.
Just to let you guys know...Im playing the new $1 ultra turbos...so come join me over the next hour...should be fun.

29 runners. Is that a new record low ? Even the STT lobby is dying on its feet. Perhaps they are all playing low stakes ultra turbos ?
Will the last one to leave turn off the lights, and change the sign on the door to ARCADE ?

I am hoping you are all here and ready to have some fun! I have been obliterated the last few weeks at PLO and my soul along with my sanity has been crushed and that can only mean we are going to have our best show ever tonight! I have some giveaways for tonight and some of you may have seen that there is also a banner advertising the radio show on the client. Wooohooo.
ALSO rakeback has been paid early which is a lifeline for me due to crushaments. All in all, I am VERY excited for tonight and hope you guys can join me.

John you have about 30 minutes to convince me to play tonight. 1. Only on BF coz of WSOP freeroll. Got alert but none in lobby. 2. Awful lag for ages so on not want to risk cash 3. No chance of listening & playing as expect not be able to raise call or folD.
Rakeback early wow.

Just saw it now that you told me. Want me to answer via PM or live on show as it will tie in nicely with what I was going to talk about anyway...along with my sanity rapidly evaporating. Perhaps it would be more correct if I said disintegrating? Words for thought.

What's with the new RNG where you lose every hand until your brain melts? It's all very tilting.
But, we find ways to make it work, just like a shepherds pie. The old classic is still the best :)

1 - I have played approx 130k hands since I have started PLO 2-3 months ago and am currently down 30k and my ev is +30k. (i can get open HM and get exact stats for anyone who wants). Ive played majority @ $5-$5 PLO, $500 buyin where im down around 40 buyins under EV...but this doesn't paint the whole picture as it only looks at hands once your all in. Not the surrounding scenario, as it simply cannot calculate that. I'm officially 80 buyins under EV but I would suspect the real number is around 120...but we ALL think we are running worse than we are. That is poker.
Now, I have spoken with quite a few good PLO players at various limits from 0.5-1 pros to nosebleeds and looked at various styles and stats. I'm still at the learning stage (obviously) but from what I know, unless you are a VERY competent player and your tables are passive, your stats are slightly too loose. The top winning, agg players have your stats...BoobieSmiles for example on Stars had agg stats like that, but not sure if he was able to maintain it. I think nowadays for normal games 35/30 is prob the top end you want to be...and that is still very agg.
Generally you don't want to be calling too much unless you are much deeper ofc. You want to be controlling pots and taking them down w/o showdowns. Thats how you decrease variance and increase winrate w/o SD.
Your 3b @ 13% seems high but fine as long as most of it is from button and in the blinds v late position steals.
So, overall, everything seems good and your bit of variance over 700 hands is nothing. I've been reading up on it and some people have had up to 200 buyin swings.
I am currently going through the grossest swing I've ever had (primarily because NLHE doesn't have swings like this, especially if you are a competent agg player) and its been well over 100k hands. A lot of this is inexperience on my behalf and bad plays too.
Will be interesting to see how the next few hundred thousand hands turn out. If I haven't gone potty that is.
Hope that answers your questions. Anything else, just give me a shout.
Gl all,
