From Philippines back to Belgium: Rediscovering poker after 2 years of inactivity.

Hi folks, I'm Jay, the new guy around the house. I moved in a bit over a week ago. It's an amazing place, people are nice, all is well.

I'm a 2+2 guy but I found out I had a PS account from back in the days when a free $50 BR was "too good to be true", so I figured I'd holla.

Just wanna say cheers to the guys for giving me the opportunity to join the house, and I also wanna thank Wendy (and her entire crew) for having us over in Manila this weekend.. She's an awesome lady and the Philippine hospitality is mind blowing.

wellcome Jay...finally we hear from you...hope ull post more often and share ur poker wisdom :f_biggrin:...gl and have fun

whats your handicap btw?

14.8 or so

what do you mean by handicap :f_eek:?

its basically your average score.

I can't see MonkeyMan shooting 14.8 on a par 72, but with him, you never know.

@Person that asked: Having a handicap just makes the game fairer for the fish, it just means that epic pro isn't c/r'ing you on every hole.

im hoping to be scratch by next year but will obv put down 20 when playing tournaments ♦

more pics guys! ♦

it's was a reeeeeeally loooong thread

First 2 PLO days have been going good. I analysed 30mins today+watched Jay play for 30 mins + he watched me play for 30mins. It is rly motivating to have him around. The fact that he is willing to help me is a big drive. I moved to a smaller site and I just play 4 tables so I pay more attention to the others+make notes etc. So far its going pretty good, owning rly hard. Especially my non sd winnings are kinda high :f_biggrin:. I just barrel so much and raise pretty often on lockdown boards and so forth. Just starting to find a way that works for me.

Next days I will go in super sicko analysing-grinding mode. I just want to improve a lot and build my roll on the site so I can move to PLO200 soon. Rake on 100 is just killing, 15bb/100 :f_confused:. Still 10 on 200, 7 on 400, so should get there soon :f_cool:.

Anyways gonna sleep, tomorrow lots of poker.

Btw: because I didnt went to the gym while being in Manila, our PT wants me to go 3 days in a row now, today it was warmup, tomorrow he is gonna kill me quite a bit I guess..

Btw 2: Oh, and I also finally purchased HEM

The pre stats are so interesting, well for an omaha noob at least, AA is F***ed, the importance of having double suited aces+ some FE?

4 way AI with 42% equity lol In how much worse shape would u be if someone had hand like 8765 or T987 and your suits were covered? probably much worse, but i myself also like those 3-4 way AI with such hands.

Well except for maybe UTG+1 I dont expect anyone to have low cards there. Important to note is also that against the bigstack (AAxx) I'm just slightly ahead. The 42% is for the main pot.
