If I was midstakes/highstakes pro, and my contract would require me to play micros, I wouldn't focus too much on preflop ranges. :)

Day 5 has ended. Was alreday 3 bins up but deck frozed and day ended only 0,5bin up. After 5 days, 5600 hands +4,5 bins. Saw many very strange 3bets against EP opener from blinds by normally OK regulars like KJ74ds, in that hand I had AQJT with ATs, postflop rb no action, some smalls card except river J gave pot to me. Time to start day 6 games.

Holdem is soooooo sick :f_mad: Every day before starting to play PLO I open 4 3-handed Spin&Gold 0,25 tables. Today one table was with 1$ that not happens every day. HU with player with little bit bigger stack. He limped J♠:8♣:, I had 9♣:3♣:, flop 4♣:5♣:6♣: , all-in, turn 7♣: and both had flushstraight :f_cry::f_cry: For consolation I got 2488 chips for todays flipout. Let's hope it gives to me some justice.

Day 6 just ended. Typical roller coaster.

Few hands with 75-80% from flop or turn where gamblers got rewarded. Result of day +2bin, 6 days +6,5bin.

This was nice hand. Non-regular Sunday player probably thought that he will trap me at turn whith flopped straight or tried to bluff that he has AA :f_thumbsup:

Probably just overvalued his straight?

2nd week of this RnC PLO2 ended. Was alredy +8,5 bins but last 4 sessions were catastrophical, ended with only 2 bins up

2 weeks summary is now: -$14.18 losses, rb +$8,59, leaderboard +CS10,70 = +$5,11.

Now have to take a thinking break is it worth to continue RnC PLO2 or return to normal PLO2 or 5. Or maybe start to play AoF O only where I have in less total time than used in last 7 days for RnC PLO2, AoF winnings +$123. I played it some days i October-November inspired by GG honeymoon missions but it was quite stressing with adrenaline on max level all time.

Thanks!
I didn't even see it before this. Now I saw a note in my portal about problem to credit it to some pokerroom. Contacted support to solve this.

Couldn't find motivation to continue RnC PLO or normal PLO and took break from them. Have been playing 2 days AoF O 0,10/0,20 3020 hands. Pokercrfat and HM show winnings about 25$ but actually -20€ from my bankroll. Pcraft and HM don't take rake about 18€ (expected 50% rb is now 9$), fees and fortunes from gold pot (about 10$) into account. So the fees must be really big:f_o: what makes winning very difficult. Last year when I had good AoF run I won a lot but much less to bankroll.

And typical hands:

I flop rb straight, villain has over pair, hits it on turn and river pairs, evrytime when I flop straigt on fd flop I lose againts shitty fd-draw, flopped sets ar paper against draws and overpairs.

Today was one good moment. I was at BB with 99xx, flop K♦:9♦:9♣: BTN AI with KKxx, SB calls with Q♦:J♦:xx. Surprisingly neither of them got their 1 outer. Was thinking if Bad Beat Jackpot is availbe also in AoF games?

Yes it is.

When we had Primetime on AOF, I said I think it's beatable with leaderboard and if you hit straight flush during the zillion hands.

There is a video about it too in the library.

I watched that video before AoF honeymoon mission that was my first time playing that variant. And watched it again on Monday before decided to try AoF again. It was really helpfull.

I wonder the same thing, especially when I'm the one doing it!
I can't help myself... I am a gambler, after all. 🤣🤣🤣

On last week I played 3 days AoF O 0,10/0,20. Pokercraft showed +32$ but -40€ gone from my bankroll. Rakeback earned16$, from leaderboard 9,6$ making sum about -7€. Bankroll was several times +10-20€ was several but always crushed down when could not win with any hand, badbeat after badbeat. Frustrated and started to play PLO2 Zoom and PLO5 in Pokerstars to improve my game and get Pokerstartegy points. But same there, deck is cold on preflop and frozen on postflop. Some day could win 3 bins but next day -8 bins. Yesterday and today few hundred hands In GGpoker with frozen deck, after 600 hands VPIP 14,9 PFR 9,7:s_rolleyes:

Nothing special to report. Have been playing PLO2 and 5 both normal and Zoom in Pokerstars. Was 3 times ITM in PLO5 leaderboard during first week when it started. After that normally somewhere 30-80 because I'm getting only shitty small hands. When have got some hand to play no hits on flop or turn. Today played 600 hands PLO2 Zoom with typical result.

Yesterday I got 109$ MTT ticket from chest. Unfortunately it can't be changed to money and I'm not a MTT player. Have also one 11$ step 3 ticket won from satellite.

March-April have been playing mainly PLO2 ZOOM about 600 hands/day. Taking into account leaderboard bonuses small +. Yesterday was a nice day, several idiotic maniacs and ATMs on tables. Normally I play mostly when morning in Europe but yesterday I played only in the evening. Maybe I should play only in the evenings. 602 hands, net won $12,74 = 105,81bb/100
