OTT i just call, he puts me all in

well the fact that he is only have stacked suggest he is a fish and he could very easilly be donk shoving any naked flush draw, KKxx or any other trash. even if he is not shoving a hand with less than 40%EQ against me doesn't really matter i only need 32% myself to call. the biggest concern are players behind me and the fact that it's a multi way pot. anyone has any reasonable ranges for them and numbers to say it's a fold/ship?had lass than 5hands on all of them. thanks

lofigr: villain had Ah5h9h9s for top set but even though i think shiping is the right play, had filtered some similair hands and villains(fish, not regs) have a lot of lower two pairs, pair+gs, overpairs+gs etc. in this spot

hey arizonababy how's it going?are you still crushing?would be nice to see some new posts :)

It's the end of the year and the end of this PLO journey. I am leaving stars and moving to another site. I finished the year with a total of 97444 hands. Net won was 524$ and 1330$ with all the bonuses. Along with 275$ that i started with and 25$ that i won in a monthly gold level tournament that's a little over 1,6k. I was almost at the 2k mark where i thought i could try some PLO50, but got buthcered in my last couple of thousands hands. I am very sad at the moment but what can you do. This variance is really enormous and maybe i was also tilting a little in the end so i think this change will help me to stay focused.
I achieved all my goals that i set myself and it is time for another challenge and new thread.
I wish you all merry christmas and a happy new year.

Rok

how are you doing ryan?any progress

Reminder to myself:
this game really is soooooo swingy :) 4k hands and 25BI below ev :) but something tells me this is nothing :) and i love this game even more now :)

It's the end of October and here is my update. Have played a lot this month and with a little help from friendly NLHE achieved platinum level.
Here are my results:

PLO10: http://prntscr.com/51p2es
all PLO: http://prntscr.com/51p2bt

I have a short breakeven stretch but the important thing is that EV is going in the right direction. If i reduce 4tables ZOOM to 2tables I think my winrate (should) improve a little more. Don't know if i will try to maintain platinum level in the November or reduce the number of tables.

Another thing is my decreasing red line. I checked some filters and my aggression (agg and AF) is slightly dropping every month. There were no major changes in my game (that i know of) but the graph shows otherwise. Will try to c/fold more on the flop instead of c/call flop and c/fold turn :)

I have another goal for November - be more active in the forums again and post and comment more hands. Will have to do more work off the tables also. And again, if you have any interesting comments, ideas, links, etc., just share :)

And also play well and crush :)

i 5b all in pf with aa and guy tanked for 5minutes. finally he says it's probably a coin flip i call and showed 22. i said no sorry it's not a coinflip and i showed my aces. he says yes it is. either i win or you win it's 50/50. it was very hard not to laugh but what was even more shockingly was the runout. 2in the window and an ace on the flop. turn another 2and river a brick. this was probably the strangest and funniest hand i ever played :) and the guy was very happy that he won a coinflip :)

Heey guys what's up!

Long time since i posted. I am playing more this month because I am trying to achieve platinum level. So far it's going great, I'm ahead of schedule. The downside is i play 4tables ZOOM and i know my decisions are not optimal. Will cut down to 2 when i'm platinum.

I played some PLO25, run badly and moved down to PLO10 again. I'm still running terrible, this month I'm 30BI below EV. But it doesn't even matter, in august i ran hotter than the sun so it all evens out :) I still have a lot more than 100BI for PLO10 and also playing some PLO25 depending on the mood :) when I reach platinum level I will buy some bonuses, hope that will run better, play more PLO25 and maybe even try PLO50. 

GG, Rok

Hey man!

I don't start with a warm up session, but I do play more short sessions.
I use HUD but only for basics (VPIP,PFR,3b,agg).

Played a little over 27k hands. PLO25 started super well but then variance started to kick in. Had three losing sessions with -15BI combined. I have a stop loss of 5BI now that I am playing PLO25 and I am following this rule (for now:) ). I am still up a little over 10BI @PLO25 and BR is healthy with a little over 50BI so no worries yet. I am running very well AIEV, but not so got regarding coolers. A lot of nuts vs. second nuts in 3b/4b pots and set against set scenarios. I could save my self a few BI where i thought that I made an OK play but then reviewed my hands and saw that it was spew but other than that I am still happy with my overall play. I really enjoy PLO but unfortunately don't have a lot of time to play. Will try to put in as much volume as possible in the future to maintain Gold level on PS.

Here are my net graph and my showdown winnings:

Have fun, Rok.

yeah totaly agree that i am not folding any better hands by donking but i think there are a lot of flushes in his range that he is checking behind on the river that i can get value from. i guess i'm wrong :) thanks everybody

thanks man, will do

sad to hear this, hope you will get back on track soon. and ship a mtt or two :)

your videos were great tom, to bad you won't make more but nevertheless i wish you all the best in your new job and in life :) hope you crush in your new job even more than you did in poker :)

Heey guys just a short update. I have played a little over 20k hands and I am happy to say that I achieved both medium term goals I have set to myself. 

I became gold member on PS and i have enough BR to take a shot at PLO25. My plan was to take a shot when I have 750$ but I postponed it a little, cleared a bonus and ran my BR to a little over than 900$. 

I played my first two sessions of PLO25 today and have to say I was a little timid (in real life, in game i still 3b a lot :)) because everything is kinda new. Higher limit, BI is 2,5times what it used to be, new numbers regarding bet sizes, etc. I was up 2BI so it was a great start nevertheless.

I have to set some new goals, so if anyone has any ideas, suggestions or just wants to say something, please comment. 

I hope you are crushing and I wish you all good luck at the tables.

Rok

Great, thanks guys

yeah but my comment was very general and vague, just post hh's and you will get great advice and concrete suggestions

A few suggestions after looking your stats:
you are too weak-passive: your 3bet is tooo low, looks like you only 3bet premium aces?you need to be a looot more aggressive. you need to c/call less and bet and raise more :) you read and watched all those stuff so you probably know that position is key in PLO but it looks like you don't really understand this. be more positionaly aware and ABUSE the BTN. tighten up in the blinds, don't call raises with crapy hands, you just c/fold too often. in EP open premium hands but as you move closer to BTN looooosen up a lot. just try and be more aggressive in position and you will see that decisions are easier. this are all very standard advices so try and post a looooot of hands where you don't know how to play them or you are unsure what would be the best play. you will learn a lot. people here are really good and will give you great suggestions. i am also playing micro plo and have a journal here and i can tell you that people here gave me a lot :) hope this helps a little :) rok
