Watch: JNandez Explains PLO Mastermind’s Massive PLO Trainer Update (PLO4 + PLO5)

The Pot Limit Omaha training site PLO Mastermind just released a massive update for their GTO PLO Trainer. Now, the new walkthrough from Fernando “JNandez” Habegger, founder and head coach of PLO Mastermind, features a video that shows how to set up smarter drills and shares practical study workflows for both Pot Limit Omaha (4-card and 5 Card PLO).

What happened and why you should care

PLO Mastermind just pushed a sizeable refresh to the PLO Trainer. The update focuses on a cleaner design, faster “train from study” actions, a Training Center with ready-made drills, and Skills that mix positions and nodes so you get realistic reps without building a custom script every time. The team is also highlighting a free Preflop Pass that lets you browse 100bb 6‑max preflop solutions and run basic GTO preflop training before you ever pay a dollar. That makes kicking the tires painless.

In his new video, JNandez walks through the redesign in real time. He shows how to use the matrix to sanity‑check combos, how the EV difference column clarifies close decisions, how Preferences can hide trivial folds so you practice only meaningful hands, and how Skills mode strings together multi‑position drills like “vs one raiser in position”. If you prefer five‑card, there’s a one‑click 5‑card toggle and the same cleaner UI.

If you’re grinding micro to mid stakes and you want faster improvement without getting lost in solver menus, this update matters.

The video: what JNandez actually shows

I’ll keep this practical. Here are the bite‑size upgrades you’ll actually use, straight from the walkthrough:

  • Train directly from Study. Click a hand, hit Train, and you’re instantly drilling that exact node with live feedback. No detours.
  • Info tab with matrix clarity. See which side cards push a hand from fold to call to 3‑bet, color‑coded so your brain can scan it fast.
  • EV difference column. Sort by EV gap to find range edges and stop arguing with yourself about “close” opens. It’s right there.
  • Mistake vs blunder labels. Errors over roughly three percent of pot are flagged as blunders. It’s a simple red line that helps you prioritize leaks.
  • Skill Trainings. Want reps across multiple positions instead of single‑seat drills? Skills mixes spots like “versus one raiser in position” so you build intuition that holds up when seats change.
  • Postflop tools you’ll actually open. Equity graphs, matrix views, and aggregated flop reports to spot board‑class trends, then one‑click jump into training on those exact boards.

Prefer 5 Card PLO? The same design language applies, with dedicated 5‑card solutions and training modes. PLO Mastermind has been expanding PLO5 resources in general, adding more solutions across preflop and postflop so you’re not studying placeholders.

Why this is good news for everyday grinders

Most of us don’t need twenty new buttons. We need a tool that gets out of the way and lets us practice the exact leaks that cost money.

  • Less menu wandering. The redesigned workflow makes it trivial to go from “I don’t know this spot” to “I’m drilling it” in seconds. That’s how you stack intentional reps.
  • Better quality control. The EV difference view and mistake/blunder feedback keep you honest. You learn which errors are noise and which torch stacks.
  • Consistency without busywork. Skills lets you keep training varied and realistic, which matters a lot in PLO where position and rake/ante settings move the goalposts.
  • Faster pattern recognition. Matrix, equity, and aggregated reports help you see class‑wide behaviors, not just one hand at a time. That’s how you graduate from memorizing to understanding.

Here’s the cleanest path to start the right way:

  1. Create a free account with the Preflop Pass. Browse a 100bb small‑stakes 6‑max preflop solution, run single‑node preflop training, and use the built‑in equity calculator. This is enough to confirm the fit before paying.
  2. Watch the walkthrough. Open the video and follow along while you click the same buttons he clicks. You’ll be productive in fifteen minutes.
  3. When you’re ready for full access, take the plunge for the 4‑card plus 5‑card Trainer tiers. You’ll unlock a massive solution set, postflop training, aggregated reports, and mobile training options. If you live in five‑card streets, there are dedicated PLO5 plans as well.

Does the update help 5 Card PLO specialists?

Short answer, yes. The interface parity means you can study PLO4 and PLO5 without retraining your eyes or clicking through a second app. PLO Mastermind has steadily added 5‑card solutions and tutorials, including more preflop coverage and richer postflop nodes. If you’re transitioning from four to five cards, this is the first environment that actually feels built for both.

Who gets the most out of this right now

  • NLHE converts who need structure, not chaos. Start with the free pass, get the rules and ranges right, and only then add postflop. Our PLO rules and betting guides help too.
  • Micro to mid‑stakes regulars with time constraints. The new one‑click “train from study” flow plus Skills mode is perfect for 30‑minute sessions that still build range memory.
  • Five‑card grinders who want legitimate PLO5 coverage and a path to sharpen decision speed without guessing.

Conclusion

This PLO Mastermind refresh doesn’t bury you in features you’ll never use. It trims clicks, improves feedback, and gives you an easy way to stack daily reps for both PLO Trainer 4‑card and 5 Card PLO. If your goal is to make better decisions faster, this is a good use of your next hour: watch the video, run a Skills set, and drill a single node with EV‑diff sorting. Then do it again tomorrow.

Key Takeaways

  • Cleaner UI and faster workflows mean fewer excuses and more reps.
  • Skills and Training Center remove setup hassle and keep training realistic.
  • EV difference and blunder flags help you prioritize leaks that actually cost money.
  • 5‑Card PLO training keeps getting deeper, so five‑card isn’t second‑class here.
  • You can start free with the Preflop Pass, then upgrade when ready.
