In chapter 6 of PLO From Scratch, Bugs steps away from theory to examine the practical realities of grinding low-limit PLO, using a large database to analyze the player pool, estimate reasonable statistical benchmarks, and design a simple, functional HUD for 6-max play. 1. A Practical Interlude Before Postflop Theory After completing the preflop theory…
In chapter 5 of PLO From Scratch, Bugs develops a mathematically grounded framework for 4-betting and defending against 4-bets with 100BB stacks, showing that these situations are largely governed by pot odds, equity thresholds, and hand structure rather than guesswork. Why 4-Bet Pots Are Technically Simple (but Crucial) With pot-sized raises up to the 4-bet,…
In chapter 4 of PLO From Scratch, Bugs develops a structured framework for 3-betting and defending against 3-bets in 100BB 6-max games, linking preflop planning directly to postflop execution in big pots. Purpose of the Chapter This chapter, together with the next, completes the preflop foundation and begins the transition into postflop strategy. The focus…
In chapter 3 of PLO From Scratch, Bugs expands the earlier “tight, value-first” preflop core strategy into a more complete 6-max approach by (1) loosening late-position open-raises, (2) giving a structured method for choosing between overlimping, isolation-raising, or folding behind limpers, and (3) introducing a three-part 3-betting strategy (value, speculative, and rare bluffs) with a…
In chapter 2 of PLO From Scratch, Bugs shifts from practical preflop guidelines to a theory-heavy explanation of how and why different PLO starting hands remain playable (or become unplayable) as more money goes into the pot preflop, using flop equity distributions—especially in matchups against AAxx—as the main analytical tool. Why This Chapter Is Theoretical…

What This…

In the conclusion of Easy Game, Andrew Seidman reflects on his personal journey from a losing home-game player to a high-stakes professional. He begins by recounting how early frustration and repeated losses sparked an obsession with improvement.

Here are chapters 51–52 of our Easy Game summary: Chapter 51: Raising Into Equity In chapter 51, Andrew Seidman focuses on spots where an opponent’s hand is worse than yours but still has meaningful outs—and, crucially, the opponent is unlikely to bluff later streets if they miss.
