Weathered - I really appreciate you taking the time to put this list together. I feel pretty comfortable with those concepts but #5,6,are VERY important and I need to work on that part of my game. I also never thought about #7. I typically play .5/1 online or 1-2/3 live. I'm not close enough to any casino to play regularly but would prefer to work on my live game. It tough to think that 4-5 players at the table are much better than me but I guess in the scheme of things if there are 4-5 weak players then it really doesn't matter. I will definitely take your advice and will master these basic concepts and work on my game. Again, appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
No problem. But as you said yourself right now you consider yourself average so odds are you will have 4 or 5 players who are better than you and 4 or 5 players who are weaker than you.
As you get better those odds will change for sure. And you will find there might only be 1 or 2 players you need to avoid, maybe none at some times.
I just find that while there are plenty of fish in the PLO world. The sharks are around as well.
The games are still soft, you just have to notice who you need to avoid and you can all feed on the fishies. Plenty of meat for everyone to go around, trust me.
If you ever have any PLO questions just feel free to ask. Start a thread or something and I will answer as quickly and as best I can.
Best of luck at the tables
