Ship it PLO brother!

Thank you, sir :f_biggrin:

I quit rush forever after getting destroyed there. Lost about $600 in rush PLO25, never really finding out if it's variance or just getting crushed :f_p:

Also I would strongly advice to move to at least PLO25, people are willing to fold to your barrels and bluffs there :f_p:


Decided to post a couple of hands from today.

Played some HU. Irooz laughed pretty hard at that hand :f_biggrin: But since it was somewhat early and I was c-betting all flops and all turns (improved on turn or it was blank), also was early in the match, so I thought he would def try to take it if I check. Was very surprised at the hand he showed :f_p:

Also, wtf at PLO HU rake???? Just wtf??? It's surreal.


Skype has obv decided to punish me for bringing up the past, don't know what to do now

Haha, that was hilarious :f_biggrin:

You know what is also hilarious? My run today. Graph:

Also made alot of river folds so it would look more uglier. Lost in what could have been my biggest pot - around $200. I had set, they both had flushdraw :f_biggrin: Obv rivered, so folded.

Tons and tons of unreal setups and suckouts. Yay :f_o:

And to add to the insult, played hyper-turbo, on bubble: guy shoves T7c, I call with A4c. Flop xxx two clubs, river offsuit ten :f_biggrin:

Haha, this day is a one big laughing riot.


Boom. -11BI, 7BI below EV obv. PLO25, here I return (if I continue to run like this).


Weekly update

Gaaarph:

Thoughts: fuck this shit. Need some stable income and job is hard to get when you're 85 years old like me.

PLO is def not the best idea with small roll and weekly withdrawals. Any bigger swings/breakeven stretches bite your ass so hard you start pooing from two holes.

My volume is a joke of course and those weekly graphs are just funny because they have nothing to do with with long term.

Anyway, will try grinding it out again obv, and if I get lucky and job lands on my dick - I'll take it. It was fun while it lasted :f_cool:

Play NL? Not as fun ofc, but jobs are not supposed to be fun


Decade...ly? update (?) Whatever.

Gaaarph (I find the word 'garph' funny. But I have to type it 'gaaaarph' so even most women would understand I do it deliberately)

What a meh 10 days.

What else? Played 63 SnGs for no reason. Maybe because I got bored. Shipped about $80 so it's ok.

Also played in RCOOP sat, 23 entrants, 3 get ticket. I busto 4th obv :f_love:

Watched movie 'Shutter island' with DiCaprio, directed by Scorcese. It was epic win IMO, recommend. Obv it's not as good as movies where some guy rescues his kidnapped daughter and then runs into some random woman who is actually quite ugly because whole movie budget was used on the main guy... I lost my trail of thought, nevermind.

I have no clue how to play it. Although the possibility to bet more than pot is definately juicy. I love shoving :f_frown:

Damn, stfu :f_biggrin:


hey man,

im currently playing plo25 and looking at your blog we seem to experience the same thing. i feel really comfortable at plo25 but everytime i take a shot at plo50 i jus seem to get hit bad and hence play bad in the process i guess. do u think the players are just that much better? or maybe the monetary value of going up in stakes? also NICE BLOG! entertaining and to the point


Hey hey,

thats a question I was trying to figure out lately ^^ Monetary value doesn't mean much to me, also I don't think plo50 field is THAT much better than plo25. Hopefully its just variace ^^ ---- BUT ---- we should def look into our game and identify what the hell is wrong with it ^^

Anyway, I might as well announce this blog WILL NOT be updated as regularly as it used to be because some stuff came up IRL which prevents me from dedicating the time needed for PLO pwnage (read = breakeven play).

Since Im somewhat busy, I just sit down at random tables now and then and play various types of poker - PLO cash, NLHE 1 table sngs, mtts, hyperturbos, etc. Will only update if something significant happens.

Will probably spew a nice chunk of my BR in the upcoming RCOOP stuff ^^

GL at tables.
