Joys of PLO. You are playing well and you end up down a few BI's! Welcome to PLO :D

The only hand that really annoyed was one that i folded on the flop, only had straight potential vs 1 decent reg and 1 maniac.

HEM had me 70/30 PF, 87/13 on the flop, Turn 93/8, River 0/100 :(

Rest of the loss was from raising and missing the flop, i had nice hands but OOP even raising most flops where 3 or 4 way and nearly always wet, but not in my favour!

Second session was a beast. I took a break after 1.5hr sesh which is rare for me as Mrs is a nagging cow, my 15month old is ill with chicken pox, swollen eye so he needs attention! But i managed a second 1.1hr sesh which i finished down .10c, but after more suckouts. I kept my A game, C bet on the right flops. I did use HEM to see there Fold to Cbet. If i missed the flop and hes not folding to cbets, i dont do it & vice versa.

So its been a few weeks and im starting to get the hands in, i dont get to play as often as i want due to having a full time job and a wife and Kid (15months).

Most of my playing time is an hour when little Logie sleeps when i get home from work for an hour. And from 8pm-11pm depends how much attention the wife wants!

I start NL after the boom and there were sites like DC and 2+2. So i was quickly on them and watching vids etc so when i got playing, i was playing ok. I knew how to adjust some what at micro NL. I had an idea if someone was 3b me light, or if the table was tight and i could steal blinds alot from +EV etc

PLO, im useless, i play too tight, im afraid to raise because people call with all sorts of hands that they would of called with anyway, i dont see the point in raising.

 

 

Ok, i have dabbled at PLO, but it wasnt good. PLO2 on FT im down $20 and PS im maybe down $1.

After taking all my NL money off Full Tilt 6 months ago (Use some to buy a nice Scotty Cameron putter). I had 0 funds, so i put up $25 to play PLO2 (Not a great amount, i feel you should def play to 50 buy in rule).

After 2 days of being breakeven, Take 2 came. I thought great, i can double my money here. So, my BR went up and down as you expect in PLO, but it never really went up up up. A few lossing sessions, followed by a nice winning day to put my BR roughly where i start seemed ot be the norm.

 I was getting the T2 point and at the end, i had completed the challenege. Although i was down $2 i still have $48.

A few hands i won, i was supprised to see my stack wasnt as high as i thought, looking at the rake it was pretty ass raping so i moved my roll to stars.

Games are more on PS, i've definatly found more fish at PS. Using a HUD i found most tables at FT had 2-3 players wiht 10/30 VPIP with a similar PFR. On PS i find 2-4 players who have 70%vpip and PFR of 0-70!
