Getting Started (Video series)

Our foremost message to you is this: Do not allow the wealth of resources within the PLO Mastermind to overwhelm you. We understand that the amount of content may appear substantial, but rest assured, we are committed to providing you with comprehensive guidance throughout your journey. Below, we have outlined some recommendations tailored specifically for small stakes PLO players.


The video series below can be found within the Getting Started section from the 4-Card PLO dropdown menu.

  • Crushing Small Stakes PLO - This video series is dedicated to the analysis of preflop and postflop strategies, with a particular focus on these specific game types. Throughout the series, we remain acutely aware of the overarching player tendencies within these loose and passive player pools. Our approach includes a balanced combination of practical, real-world examples and theory-based lessons, all designed to equip you with the essential tools required to excel in these games and facilitate a swift rise through the stakes.
  • Preflop Strategy - Getting your preflop game right is essential for excelling in PLO. This series is designed to help you improve your preflop skills by teaching you the most important concepts. We'll cover the basics of GTO (Game Theory Optimal), practical adjustments, and strategies for deep stack play.
  • 10-Week Transformation - This comprehensive course is tailored for dedicated PLO players seeking to fortify their skill set and cultivate the mindset necessary for achieving mastery in PLO. The course delves into four pivotal domains: Tactics, Optimization, Mental Game, and Strategy. We strongly recommend this course to individuals who have already accumulated a substantial level of experience in PLO and are determined to elevate their game to new heights, guided by JNandez.
  • Dual Reviews - In this series, PLO Mastermind coaches team up to review recorded sessions at different stakes and against various types of opponents.

  • Member Reviews - In this series, we examine the gameplay and database of PLO Mastermind members.
