Recently Poker Jeezus attempted to use slang to appeal to "Zoomerlennials"

Next up he'll be trying to target the Spanish-speaking audience, I just downloaded some mariachi music to use when he flies across the screen and have a bunch of updated visuals for him, here's a sneak peek of one of them

Would you say a bit about your approach to the on-line game? Buying in quite short. Playing for a huge VP$iP without the needed implied odds from a deep stack. Hand selection that appears quite wide. It is all a bit strange.

Perhaps the editing process just shows the short stack parts of your on-line game? Maybe there is some sort of prop deal where you need that sky high VP$iP? I guess you might have told all this somewhere in the past. From the viewer's perspective, it looks like you aren't winning your on-line game.

Just curious. I hope you would be so kind and offer us some insight -=- DrStrange

So my background has been primarily full-ring live games. Transitioning to shorter-handed online games that also require you to play a higher VPIP than my nitty ass is accustomed to is an adjustment to say the least.

Couldn't really get much going in 5-card PLO, but did find success switching to the 4-card PLO (which has a 30% VPIP requirement instead of 45%) and I also found the players to be far more passive with less preflop raises than in the 5 card game.

I had really hoped to be able to stick out in the 5 card streets more frequently, because that seems to be where the BBJ is hit most often, and it's up over 400K right now. I still dabble a bit in it, but generally buy in short to limit my exposure and make my decision points easier, as I'm still fairly new to the more aggro short-handed online tables.

Are the players required to keep VP$iP above 30%? Or is that some sort of goal, trying to learn a LAG approach before trying on larger stakes cash games?

It's a requirement of the club. 5 card PLO requires 45% and 4 card is 30%

Maybe it isn't a good idea spend a quarter of the rather short podcast on the opening comedy sequence?
