BR management, discipline, HUD and gameplan.
Hi, I'm new posting in forums but I'm seeking for some advice in some weaknessess i think i have and haven't managed to sort out by myself yet. I have been playing PLO for a while, I have read all the jeff hwang's books on strategy, checked various video sources , read strategy fundamentals, and obviously tried to play as much as i can. I always played without HUdisplay because although I can see the use of it , i never liked to rely solely on the stats to make my plays.(so i didnt have a consistent record saved) After much frustration, I started to use pokertracker4 to check out my actual stats and see what am i doing wrong. So far it seems helpful though im still familiarizing with the software. In about 22k hands, my PLO HU stats are vpip: 40 PFR: 22 3Bpre:6 CB:50 FCB:50 . winrate according to the software is +4BB/100 but I am down over 2k$. (id like to know if they are decent stats or what are the leaks)
I have to say that ive played from 2cents up to 3/6. and always run up a small deposit start playing the higher stakes shortsacked and all seems to be going well till that day that i lose several buyins in a row, then blow half my roll, and eventually grind it down again, and back to square 1. Last example i won a tourney 1k and run it up to over 5k and the lost it all playing like that. Now im stuck again, trying to grind up from the ground(playing 10plo shortstacked), and i dont wanna do the same mistakes of wanting to take too manyshots in the higher stakes(cos when i have enough money i get bored in the low stakes and think i play more carelessly). So I would like some advice in thet as well, that is proper bankroll management(and disicpline to take it thru), and also some advice in how should i plan my sessions, when to play , for how long, when to quit, mental tricks etc etc.
Thanks for reading the post(bit longer than i wanted it to be), any help and advice will be much appreciated

I haven't had much success but I'm trying to play at stakes where I can consistently win and be patient and protect my stack. I try to play every hand as well as I can and be happy with how I played it even if I lose that hand. I was having trouble taking it seriously for such small stakes too until I realised that it's the process of learning that's important since it's impossible to win a significant amount of cash playing micros. But if you learn the skills and can move up even if it's slowly it's time well spent. You just have to recognize that every level is slightly different and tactics that might work at higher stakes don't work at micros. Just keep learning and adjusting and building. You have to be properly rolled because of the variance.

If those stats are all for hu all of the preflop ones seem tight
If you ment ''my PLO HUD stats are'' rather than ''my PLO heads-up/HU stats are'', having a VPIP of 40% pre-flop is considered very loose for a 6-max game. If you ment heads-up it's considered very tight. Your VPIP of 40% differs a lot from your PFR which is 22%, it might be an indication that you're too passive pre-flop, ie. calling/cold calling too much. Your 3 bet stat is very low as well, in relation to your VPIP and PFR.
If you're short-stacking those stats seem pretty passive anyway, but might be an explanation.
Playing Omaha a general guideline to bankroll-management is 40 buy-ins +, but more preferred.
The key to improving your game seems to be more patient.
ok, thanks both for the tips. Then, first i think i'll be less agressive with my br, and try to stick to the 40 buyins, and drop down to plo10 but start to play deep more often instead of shortstacking the higher limits. When i move up in limits(properly) i'll try to be even more conservative with the br and have 50+ buy ins, cos sooner or later i always have that day where it seems that all my moeny is going to blow away. Also , to clarify, my stats where 6/9 handed. I've been trying to increae agression and stop limping first in especially in UTG and EP and trying to increase the discipline to throw away hands with danglers in those positions. Also ive opened my 3bet range in pos, especially in button and headsup pots, maybe i should 3bet more on the buttn inspite of been multiway? anyway , need more hands for the stats to significantly change. I'll take your tips on board. What do u ppl think?
Thanks
Think you will have to play allmost Eighty percent at omaha to be not exploited.
