Carnage at PokerGo Studio

It’s a beautiful Saturday in Las Vegas — straight from my son’s soccer game to ARIA PokerGO Studio for a $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha PKO. In this format, $4,000 bounties change everything: players gamble wider, stacks collide faster, and every all-in carries immediate cash value.

This episode dives deep into the high-variance reality of PLO tournaments. You’ll see why building a stack early is critical in PKOs, how bounty pressure completely alters preflop ranges, and why even strong four-card hands can disappear in a heartbeat. From firing multiple bullets, to navigating loose, bounty-driven aggression, to accepting the brutal math of PLO equities — this is what the grind actually looks like.

Highlights include:

Shallow-stack PKO all-ins where bounties force action
Big pots versus aggressive chip leaders hunting knockouts
Running kings into aces (again) at the worst possible time
Mental game insights on handling downswings after 20+ years as a pro
Why staying composed during stretches like this is a real edge

Not every vlog ends with a bag. Sometimes it’s about showing up, playing well, and understanding that tournament poker is built on volatility — especially in PLO.
