I hate Pokerstars haha. Has always been the site that I get stuffed on for some reason. I have $10 left as I have now withdraw the rest.

One last chance. With play zoom min buyins. I have ten and play like a nit and see if I can make it. Will track with hand2note hud & charts.

Will move up every 10 buyins or BUST.

Off we go :)

Good luck with this challenge. :f_drink:

You should open bigger preflop from EP, on this limit you will get a lot of fishy players involved in the pot if they have to pay only 2bb. Also on that hand i for sure bet bigger on that heavy draw board on the flop.

best of luck mate! 10$ is a rough start, keep up the work of posting and analysing, also watching videos here helped me a lot to most of the times stay focussed and i think compared to 2 weeks ago when i started my plo has changed alot and i do think for the better. anyhow i know the feels, sometimes poker is just out to get you, but the rungood will come!

Just played for 30 minutes as totally knackered today. Got all in with 99 and villian had TT haha
Plus cashed out with jacks against AQ and I would of won, thats twice now, so will give the cashout filter a miss even though my bank is tiny.

i am often wondering about other people using these functions, like insurance/run it twice / three times etc. To me i dismiss them all always because i just don't see the point of it, besides maybe reduction in variance, but you also reduce the good variance .... i think its a good decision, as i can stay focused on the game and not drift off into, should i do this here or not and all that leveling thoughts that are kinda a net negative because they have nothing to with how you actually play

I have to be honest and say when I play PLO I nearly always used it. Never properly checked to see if it was worth doing. But I always played PLO with a 50bb stack so most decent hands I was all in, it seemed to help. I was ratholing as well hit 60+ bb and close and then open another 50bb table. Always Zoom. It was huge fun and no getting bored doing it.

Might give it another go when i get sick of holdem. :f_p:

The usual nasty stuff from stars. Got all in the AK against AQ He takes the cashout I dont and he hits his queen. Again all in with AK against 88 he again takes the cash out and I do not. Hit an ace on the flop :) and guess what he hits an 8 on the river. Was pretty card dead and did call down a few hands I should not of :(

Anyway onwards and upwards
