Online MTT Review: Poker Maximus


3/23/2012

NLHE:
I wanted to try to play an online mid-stakes NLHE MTT. I think I better play NLHE cash more consistently before I try that again. I definitely felt uncomfortable in a lot of spots with the flurry of 3-4 betting and the rust showed. Yes, I had played some online NLHE cash and reviewed some NLHE MTT strat, but it felt weird.

PLO8:

HORSE:

Meh, I kinda got into a bad spot for my MTT life in Stud/8. Against a better low, I capped with 3 low, suited (36)8 w/ 1 dead flush card. I got a 9 of suit and continued aggression (which is debatable). Sadly, I bricked on every street and the low ended up making a 6 low straight while another high hand had trip 10s and was also scooped when they didn't boat up....(the 6 high straight scooped both, but I had some outs to get half with flush.)


PLO:
Players seemed to be lol aggro and/or bad. I don't know...maybe, I've gotten too nitty, but I couldn't find more than 3-4 players (out of the 30-40) that were close to normal stats (20-30 VPIP, ~15-30 PFR). There were definitely a couple maniacs (50+ VPIP).
