Hi there, nice Blog. If I would not be so lazy, I would do a Blog too. haha
I have some words to write about your hands ;)
1.
The KJ97ds Hand is well played. Preflop can be a Fold since MP does not hav emuch left, but his size is so small and u can call a 3bet.
2.
The T987 Rundown. THe Call Preflop is not so bad as u have alot of playability and are not OOP against the 3bettor.
But on the Flop, u have no FD, and a K can make one a better Straight+ u are MW.
3.
I don't like the Call against UTG. U blok one Flushout and your cards are not very good connected + u are OOP against 1 or mostly 2.
On the Flop, u can do both ch or u decide to lead out. U don't want to give Freecards on that wet Flop. As no one wants to play the Flop, I would lead the Turn. As played i rais much bigger. On the river, what do you think raises you? Do u have a range u give V?
4.
U had the perfect line in your head
Unfortunately your forgot to remind yourself before u started the session ;)
U can also 3bet pre, but it is very dangerous, since u won't see the flop HU. As played c/f F.
5.
Your hand u describe with:
"Big hand for the session, worst call of the day. I put villain on 57 on flop. Then 578 on turn considering 57 likely folds turn but picking up equity calls. Then my river check was with the intention of folding to a bet, instead I spazzed and called to a 100% no bluffs at all bet, thank you...donation anyone"
..is missing ;)

Good quick session but did punt some off playing at 0.10/0.20 2-7 Triple Draw, just having a laugh and the games average stack was 10bb so I thought it fit in my BRM haha. Played 2 buy ins and got relatively coolered in my opinion. 86532 vs 76542 etc, was a tricky game and just had fun haha.

Bankroll: $136.58

Cheers for your comments, if you could quote the posts that would be real helpful for me haha, rather than scrolling through posts. Good to have some input from a fellow forum member though. Thanks.

Had a good session today, started talking to one of the new regs and we're sharing strategy on the game. Good to share opinions and break down some of the lines I took as a bluff and why they sucked haha. Rather than transitioning to PLO5 I decided to play the deep stacked ante games at PLO2, the average pots are much bigger and the games appear much softer. PLO5 average pots were almost less than half of that of PLO2.

Session Results:
- Hands Played: 705
- Profit: +$7.20
- EV: $2.69

I also played a bit on my phone at work (+~$6)

My ev adjusted in this session was very low compared to the profit but I think this is due to the fact that I was exploiting lines from villain(s) rather than pushing my hand. 3 way pot and I am IP vs PFR'er and he cbets, I float and he chocks on FD completing card. I bet and he folds, it is nice to do and works a vast majority of the time or blind on blind 3 betting light in order to 1/2 pot cbet and get folds on dry boards vs tight opponents.

I am working on loosening my game up, for PLO I am a relatively tight player so from all positions I need to take advantage of what is in my opinion, my good postflop play and exploit the player pool more successfully.

This hand was fun, I get double check raised from villain who Is an unknown to me. Loose open UTG true, but double suited and deep stacked I figured it was worth an open. The minraise was a very weird line OOP which I was not really sure on but I was not folding middle set to it, the turn was relatively safe for my and only QQ at this point was beating me but villain checks. At this point I put on him on a wrap type hand AKTx (2 hearts maybe) and considering that was a safe turn I got it in from the turn x/r. Opinions? The line is very weird from villain and I can't see QQxx in this much. It would have been much more awkward if he continues turn large, what do you do in that spot?

As betsizetells are a very common leak at the micros, I would call a smaller on the turn if V continues. Since he would protect bigger on the flop with a pure topset.
The problem he could have the nuts with the NFD, which is such a little part of the range.
So the flop b/c is standart with his size. This is a good example for how important position is. NH!
I like your betzises too.

I am playing PLO2 deep ante, the average pot is twice as large as PLO5 and you sit just as deep. Doesn't make sense for me to play a game which is much tighter when I can run it up deep stacked.

So played live for a couple hours tonight after work, real tired of working; 45 hours last week and 35 so far this week, and with playing during my free time sleep is not a luxury I have so it was nice to get a game in at the Casino. I played the £0.25/0.25 game which has 10% rake! It is so fishy though, open raises to 12bb because it is like £0.50/1.00 haha.

Session Results:
Time: 2.5 hours
Profit: £35 / $54

Haven't decided whether I am going to add this to my roll or not but it is good to have a change from PLO online.

Bankroll: $164.98

Short session just after the live one today, went well. Ran a few bluffs in some spots where it was difficult for villain to call donk on turn/river which completes more of my draws. Deep ante play is very much better with nutty draws as opposed to deepstacks 3betting AAxx, it is a great game and I was on a table with average pot of $3 for a while! Much fishier than 5PLO.

Session Results:
Hands Played: 280
Profit: +$4.78

Biggest hand of the session, good to have nut draws and be blocking other peoples draws. I really didn't think I would be as far ahead on that flop as I was.

Very nice spot! And very supportive range of MP! :)
Greeting for that well deserved pot.
I aggree with your assumption, since you need to be good on more streets than 100bb deep.
And with bad to middle Aces, you mostly have a pair only

Stars has done something real weird and completely reset after an update. My hot keys are gone and Poker Tracker isn't tracking the games correctly. For some reason it wouldn't track all of my hands, nor could I get new stats on unknowns after x amount of hands. Real weird.
