So I wanted to take up poker again this year and joined RIO. With ~$50 in my Stars account I hit the PLO5 tables. I had played PLO before but have definitely learned a lot since signing up to the Essential plan and watching some of the videos. And tbh ZenFish's posts on the forum alone are worth the price of admission. So cheers for that.

Before I move up I thought I'd share my results as an encouragement to other micro stakes players.

I payed $121.52 'actual' rake (winner takes all) in the process which is ~15 bb/100. After VIP rewards this figure drops to ~10 bb/100. Still bad but it should be too big of an obstacle for solid players.

Funnily enough this was my (possibly very) last hand today at PLO5. So this is what you can expect at these stakes.
