If you’ve been grinding Pot Limit Omaha or 5-card PLO, and living inside the PLO Trainer, you’ve got new toys to play with. PLO Mastermind just pushed a fresh update that hits some of the most important real-game spots: exploitative preflop sims, mixed stack ranges, new heads-up CoinPoker trees, squeezed pots, and deep 200bb 5-card 3-bet pots.
In other words: less guessing, more clarity, especially in the nodes where most regs are still winging it.
In this quick news rundown, I’ll walk you through what changed in the 4-Card PLO Trainer, what’s new in the 5-Card PLO Trainer, and how you can access the official breakdown video (hint: you’ll need a free PLO Mastermind account).
What is the PLO Trainer – and why should you care?
The PLO Trainer is PLO Mastermind’s built-in GTO training environment. You pick a spot, the tool feeds you random hands, and you try to match the solver’s strategy. Instant feedback, no manual node-building, no raw solver pain.
Within the trainer you get:
- A 4-Card PLO Trainer for classic PLO cash and tournaments
- A 5-Card PLO Trainer for the sickos who like more variance and more edge
- Pre-built solutions for formats like 6-max, HU, MTTs and live-style 8-max
This update is about making those solutions closer to real tables: mixed stack sizes, squeeze pots where one player folds, and CoinPoker-specific HU trees rather than generic theory-land.
4-Card PLO Trainer – exploitative preflop sims & mixed stacks
The headline for 4-card fans: 50 new exploitative 100bb preflop sims, available under 4-Max Cash inside the PLO Trainer.
Instead of pure theory vs theory, these sims are tuned to exploit common pool mistakes. Think: overfolding certain positions, under-3-betting, calling too wide in the blinds. You still get a GTO backbone, but the recommended strategy leans into what actually happens in the games you’re playing.
On top of that, there are 100bb preflop mixed stack sizes.
Why this matters:
- Real tables rarely sit at clean 100bb vs 100bb
- You constantly face spots like 40bb rec / 180bb reg / 110bb you
- Preflop strategy and stack-off thresholds shift a lot with stack depth
Having mixed-stack solutions inside the 4-Card PLO Trainer lets you anchor your intuition instead of guessing every time the short-stack limps in or the whale reloads for 300bb.
New squeezed-pot flop sims for 4-Card PLO
Next big chunk of the update: squeezed pots where one player folds preflop vs the squeeze. These live under Scenario – SQ and include:
- BB Squeeze, BTN folds, SB calls
- BTN Squeeze, EP folds, CO calls
- BB Squeeze, CO folds, BTN calls
- BB Squeeze, EP folds, BTN calls
These spots are a mess for most players. The pot is bloated, ranges are weirdly tight and capped at the same time, and people either spew with one pair + draw or overfold hands that print.
The new sims show:
- How wide you can c-bet after squeezing
- Which combo-draws actually stack off at different SPRs
- How much you’re supposed to defend as the caller vs big c-bets
If you feel lost postflop after squeezing light (or calling a squeeze and “seeing what happens”), drilling these nodes in the PLO Trainer will clean that up fast.
5-Card PLO Trainer – deeper HU 200bb solutions
The 5-Card PLO Trainer also gets a serious bump in depth.
New preflop solutions
For heads-up 5-card PLO on CoinPoker, you now get:
- 200bb Full Pot + Limp trees (Low/Mid/High stakes)
- RFI-only heads-up solutions for 50bb, 100bb, and 200bb (again split by stakes)
So if you’re battling deep on CoinPoker or app-style games, you finally have preflop trees that match the structure instead of guessing based on 4-card intuition.
New postflop solutions
The juicy part: Heads-Up 200bb 3-bet pot flop sims for 5-card PLO.
Deep 3-bet pots in PLO5 are where money gets lit on fire:
- People overstack off marginal wraps
- Nutty but fragile hands (like top set with no redraw) are misplayed
- Overbets get used in all the wrong spots
Drilling these in the 5-Card PLO Trainer gives you a clearer idea of:
- When 200bb stacks actually go in by the flop
- Which flops demand high-frequency small betting vs heavy polar overbets
- How often you’re supposed to continue as the caller with pair+draw vs bare draws
If you’re already playing 5-card or planning to move up from 4-card, this part of the update is where long-term EV comes from.
How to access the update (and watch the breakdown video)
All of these new spots are live inside the PLO Trainer for PLO Mastermind users. You don’t need to buy anything additionally – they’re baked into the trainer interface under the new categories.
There’s also an official breakdown video that walks through the update:
“PLO Trainer Update – Exploits, Mixed Preflop, HU RFI Only, 200bb HU”

Who benefits most from this PLO Trainer update?
This isn’t just for nosebleed crushers. The new sims are especially useful if you are:
- A 4-card PLO cash reg playing 4-max or 6-max with lots of squeezes and mixed stacks
- A 5-card PLO regular on CoinPoker or apps who regularly plays 100–200bb deep
- A small/mid-stakes player trying to move from “pure GTO screenshots” to “GTO base + targeted exploits”
- A study nerd who wants real nodes to drill instead of random one-off solver exports

If I were building a study plan around this update, I’d go:
- Start with the 50 exploitative 100bb preflop sims (4-max cash).
- Add a session or two on squeezed pot flops in 4-card.
- Then move into 5-card 200bb HU 3-bet pots once a week to sharpen deep-stack instincts.
Conclusion
PLO Mastermind didn’t just dump a few extra trees into the PLO Trainer and call it a day. This update goes right after some of the most butchered spots in modern Pot Limit Omaha:
- Exploitative preflop play at 100bb
- Mixed-stack environments that mimic actual online tables
- Squeezed pots with one player folding preflop
- Deep 200bb 5-card HU 3-bet pots on CoinPoker
If PLO is your main game, this is one of those updates that’s worth logging in for, firing up a session, and letting the trainer punish your bad habits before your opponents do.

Yes. Micro and low-stakes games still suffer from the same issues: bad squeeze play, poor deep-stack decisions, and fuzzy preflop ranges. Using the updated PLO Trainer to build a solid baseline will help you print in softer games much faster than “just playing and seeing what happens.”
