Dylan Weisman has released a new PLO tournament course through Upswing Poker. The course, titled Crushing PLO Tournaments, targets what Weisman identifies as one of poker's softest formats. PLO tournament fields remain weak relative to their prize pool sizes, creating an exploitable edge for skilled players.
Weisman built the curriculum around custom solver work, moving beyond conventional wisdom in four-card strategy. The course addresses a gap in PLO tournament education. Most instructional content focuses on cash games or no-limit hold'em, leaving tournament-specific situations underexplored.
PLO tournaments demand different decision-making than their cash game counterparts. Stack-to-pot ratios, ICM calculations, and hand selection shift dramatically. Weisman's solver-based approach quantifies these adjustments with precision.
The release signals growing player interest in PLO formats across both live and online rooms. Major tournaments now feature larger PLO brackets as operators recognize demand. Players seeking an edge in these expanding fields will find technical instruction valuable.
