Magic Jammies

So my first month of RUSH PLO8 was pretty crappy. After starting out up about 10 buy ins over the first 4 days, I pretty much ran like butt the rest of the time. I’m breakeven now, but running 15bi below EV and at one point it was worse than that. I had some HUD issues initially, so that didn’t help, neither did a little bit of tilt. I do now feel like I’m making some better adjustments, so hopefully the tide is turning. Here’s a hand from this morning that made me smile.

I’ve gotten away from this line from some reason and I don’t know why, because it’s great for inducing. Perfect turn card really as it completes very few straights(that weren’t already completed), gives me some high equity and I do have the Ah. The 2 on the river is the perfect card, as it represents a likely high hand(a 2 is going to be a big part of a range that checks that flop)

And my epic fail for the week-
Down on the Farm
I was psyched because I thought it came out pretty well. I saw “make a down on the farm image”, saw Red Sox avatar, thought of HORSE= Joe Tall obv. Unfortunately it = bosoxx. Ugh.
