PLO Goal & challenge to 2/4
hi guys. this is Crayon from runitonce.com :)
today, im gonna write my pg&c.
i hesitate to write this because im not comfortable with english speaking & writing. just i can do reading a little bit.
so excuse me about my poor english :(
despite of my poor english, why i decided to write this post is that it makes me more fun about poker
and telling my goal to others makes me responsible.(im so lazy..)
of course, i wanna communicate with rio members and get some advice about my challenge.
this is my omaha results until now
this is my lifetime omaha results.
so bad :( i could only beat my rake.
i transitioned to PLO when october 2013, starting with PLO zoom 50.
and it is not successful at first. because of my poor skill about PLO(of course)
and i suffered some tilting issue.
in NLHE, i didn't have not that much tilting issue.
but.. PLO made me on tilt more easier :(
everytime, i didn't accept my turn nuts became just mediocre hands on river.
everytime call opponents strong bet on river and said 'he sucked out me'
so i could only beat my rake a little bit.
but now, im a bit better than that time. thanks to midori, im profitable in plo 50 now.(sadly, not crushing) and i made bankroll enough to shot PLO 100 last week. sadly again, it was unsuccessful. haha, but it was exciting. and i will try again and again and again. i strongly believe that i will success in the end unless i became lazy.
so, this is my 2014 poker goals
-blind up to 2/4 with 100 buy-in.
-comeplete my monthly goals.
yeah, so simple. i will have detailed monthly goals. and to achieve them, i will post a progress every week. (maybe or two weeks)
my june goals (~6.31)
- playing 80,000 hand (almost 180hours)
(personally, i really want to achieve this goal. because i prop bet with midori. last month, i failed my volume, so gave 500bucks to him...)
- cash-out only 20% of my rake-back.
- watching at least 20 poker videos.
- read a poker book:the philosophy of poker
- go to gym at least 20days
- reviewing at least 150 hands with pokerjuice and odds oracle.(5 hands per day)
- read 90 PLO low stakes post in order of number of hearts (3 post per day)
hehe, looks greed.. but i will try my best.
please cheer me up. :) i will post my progress next week. thanks for reading guys.

First in!
Impressive goals, and I hope you can achieve all of them in 2014. Best of luck, man. :)
ps. I gave it some thoughts, and decided to donate that $500 to charities. Just so you know, this is a win-win no matter whether we make the volume goal or not.
haha... nice charity! i will consider lose a bet for mankind
Good luck! Props to you for battling through your unfamiliarity with English so you can get closer to the community here.
One thing I would suggest to you is to cut your goals back a bit or just focus on one or two of them. You would rather meet your goals and increase them the next month instead of failing.
It was suggested of me when I opened up my thread here too. I was too ambitious with what I was trying to achieve.
oh, well thanks for reply:)
i agree that is too ambitious. so i decided to put weight on 2 things.
-playing 80,000 hand (almost 180hours)
- go to gym at least 20days
these 2 things are my main goals and i try to fulfill these goals!
and other things.. fine to fail. hehe... a little bit
again thanks for reply. :) i read your thread now
Ambitious goals, GL. Keep us updated. I am reading "The Philosophy of Poker" as well.
thanks sted :) i will try my best. even though i didn't read perfectly, ''the philosophy of poker' is good book.
English is not my mother tongue either, but it gets easier and easier as you practice. The first year is the hardest, after that it's just little corrections here and there.
Good luck with your monthly goals. Once step at a time!
I have a feeling that the majority (literally, >50%) of RIO members are from non-English spoken country, although this is purely a guesstimate. I myself am not a fluent English speaker, but like you said, it gets easier and easier as practice goes by. :)
Crayon, I hope your English will improve as well throughout this PLO journey. I'm sure it will, because mine has too. :)
yeah, i'm hard to write by english, and it took a long time. so i'm waited for me to be more fluent.
thanks for cheering me nohubris!
I`m impressed from your post. cheer up crayon !
thanks busisi. dreams come true! fighting together
2014 6.1~6.14
hi guys. its GETURCRAYON from runitonce.com
i tried to upload my progress every weeks but i knew it is hard at first try. haha
so maybe i will try to upload mostly 2 weeks. and sometimes for a week. whatever..
i think this is long-term race so it is important to keep upload even though my results were suck.
this is progress (current progress / june goals)
-almost 30,000 hands (30000/80000)
-go to gym 20days (7days / 20days)
these two goals are my main goals. a little behind than pace.
i think i have to be sorry about my hand volumes. i could make it better.
and this is very -ev effort. again, because im now prop-bet with midori. haha
i guess, due to my down-swing, i was a little lose interest about grinding.
but i know 30,000 hands are very small samples, and if i wanna complain about my run(of course, meaningless), it is okay after my pre-decided goals ended.
tomorrow, end my final exam at university, i will get more time to play poker.
so i will try my best to make up my volumes at second half of the june.
and other sub goals
- cash-out only 20% of my rake-back.
it will be fulfilled when i get 100,000 fpp and exchange this to money.
- watching at least 20 poker videos.
hmm.. actually i didn't count it, but maybe i watched almost 8 videos. so (8/20)
- read a poker book:the philosophy of poker
i read this book bit by bit. so now, i read chapter 4. almost 40%? this is somewhat difficult book for me but good books anyway. so i will read this book several times.
- reviewing at least 150 hands with pokerjuice and odds oracle.(5 hands per day)
i didn't lift a finger about this goal. :( maybe until now, i used to PJ only 5hands? so... terrible (5 / 150) haha. i will do my best, rest of my june.
- read 90 PLO low stakes post in order of number of hearts (3 post per day)
this is same.. i didn't at all :( of course, i read RIO hh posts but i didn't read in order of number of hearts. it is a little uncomfortable that mobile can't line up posts in order of number of hearts. but i will do my best, rest of my june.
i will inform good news later. thanks :)
