Welcome to the blogs.

So PLO is your game of choice now. Sadly I totally suck at PLO so maybe I'll follow this blog and learn something.

Happy Grinding

Laz

Thank you! Hehe yeah hopefully, I won't post many hands (if any at all) before I've reached plo32.


The first 3k hands has gone OK, I've been runing really bad and I'm tons behind EV but since the players are so bad at this limit i've still managed to win a few buy ins which makes the roll big enough for plo16.
Hopefully plo16 will go pretty fast so that I can play plo32 by the start of february.

Ow, and i folded four of a kind aswell, that was kind of hurtful

Wow we have a PLO reinessance lately! Gl!

Skod

GL, keep HHs from Svenska Spel coming, they're always a fun read as the field there is awesome ; many of us, non-Swedish PLOlers, would love to have been born there just for the sake of being allowed to play at that site.

@skod thx! ive been watching some of your videos, i like them alot!
@tony hehe yeah but it's quite tilting when u run bad (which im doing atm)

Been running SOOOOOOO bad the last couple of days



Lost quite alot in tonights session aswell but couldn't do anything about it. You cant win at omaha when you lose every all in situation :p

Since people who CALL shoves, often mucks their hand making the HM2 give me no -EV when i win flips and etc. Apparently you get a decent view of the real EV if u lower it by 30BB/100. That still makes my last 4k hands 25ish BI under EV though.
I'm hoping for a goodrun today! Or at least a decent one lol

Don't mislead the Pokerstrategy public, we both know that tracking soft calculates the EV line at SvS incorrectly because opponents don't show losing hands, and ~30 bb/100 should be subtracted from the EV line to get the real picture

But yeah, even with that correction, I can see well that you indeed ran bad , well, that's already the past, think what to do in the present

Yeah it's automuck if you call the all in but by making it 0.01 cent less than what you have, makes most ppl just shove the extra cent in. But yeah indeed sometimes when they dont the graph is somewhat incorrect
Ill edit it in under the graph though.

I had to move back to the lowest stake again after yesterday. Went pretty solid today, didn't play very much but I managed to win 800ish BB over 1k hands.
I'll probably won't play more until tomorrow. It's sunday though and I might take like half the day of or so! Im going to put in some serious volume next week

Had a pretty good session tonight and won some buy ins! A few more of these days and I'm back to the next stake!

I played way to tight but had a couple of maniacs so I didn't wanna fight too much with them without a good starting hand. It payed of good so I shouldnt complain.
Tomorrow I'll get in at least 2 sessions and hopefully before everyone goes to bed so I don't have to 2-table.. lol

So the last 3 days I've won 20ish BI and I'm about 6 away from moving up in stakes. Don't really got anything interesting to show since its like 80% fishes so there aren't many interesting spots. It will probably be the same on the stake aswell lol.
The fishes, at least most of them, are permanent and return pretty much every day so I'm starting get some info on them aswell as stats, making most decisions much easier.

Hopefully I'll run good when I move up to plo16 again. Don't want to lose big and be stuck grinding on the lower tables. The villains are basicly just as bad on both levels so going up as fast as possible is +EV for sure!

Tomorrow I'm going to watch some PLO live action video and try to play about 1k hands. You can only play up to 5 tables at the same time at the site so getting big volume is quite hard, at least time consuming. Got some other plans tomorrow aswell so it's going to be pretty stressful!

I made my way to plo16 tonight and got a few hands in before i stopped aswell.

Not too interesting but it's something

This hand is vs an aggro fish. I kind of expect him to bluff almost every turn and river, people like him love middle card boards and it doesnt hit much of my range either so I'm not thinking of folding ever, against someone like him. A few times he will show up will the flush but many times he's just going to have lots of halfmade hands or complete air. If the board pairs though, things would be really interesting!

This one is is kind of standard, I could 4bet pre but I decided to just flat since the 3better is some kind of reg I expect him to bet almost every flop that hit my range. The flop is great and I decided to go check/call when the preflop raiser cbets. The turn is a blank, the initial raiser checks his hand which probably missed completely and the extremly passive fish on the BTN shoves for a almost a pot sized bet. Since I just need 25% to make the call B/E it's pretty easy but since his AF was 0.8 I don't expect him to have anything worse than top 2. Most likely 88, I got 20% against that hand but of course every player can get out of line but I really wasn't happy with that spot.

Anyways, I ran really good today and think I played just as well. Tomorrow I'm going to continue grinding at plo16, won't go up in stakes until I have 70BI so it's probably gonna take some grinding before that happens but I'm staying motivated so I'm sure I'll get there eventually!

Nice blog and keep up a good run!

2nd hand i think you could C/R OTF because of 3b preflop.

Nice... Keep up the grind...

P.S. I'd probably still bet flop in hand 1... Soo much easier to play than to bluffcatch, as we'd hate to see any broadway.

Regards,

Skod

@Fer Thanks! Yeah I thougt about it but for a while but since I just called the 3b to let him bluff, I wanted to let him continue betting. But yeah could've shoved there

@Skod, I often get minraised in that spot and then I have to fold (I guess?) I just wanted to keep the pot small but yeah there are many scarecards out there that could improve his hand. Do you still think I should bet the flop when the villain is very aggressive? It feels like I'm missing value since I dont expect him to call with worse and if he raises I'm in a hard spot.
Maybe thats too much NLHE thougts
Please let me know if you'd still bet the flop!



Anyways played like 1300 hands and ended it about breakeven. Did not happen too much but there was less fish on the tables today than it usually is! Still like 2 per table so I can't complain but I'm used to 4 :p

Played about 1700 hands today and made almost 10 BI's! Felt really good, I'm doing okay on my volume so far and everything just flows on. Tomorrow I'll watch one or two strat videos!

Found this hand that I played a few weeks ago. I should have made the reraise bigger when he raised me on the flop. the turn is just a nightmare lol!

Can't see him have anything but a king here

Hi,

yeah i'd always bet there... cause it's great for agro players to see you can fold there. Next time you bet with a flush and they raise thinking you'll fold = monieez

The last hand is too sick to comment

I always like to follow omaha players progress (probably because I secretly want to play plo regularly )
So, i will definitely follow this blog, gl mate!

ps I'm little cinfused with numbers in OP and hands later in thread, (PLO32, PLO70?) are you playing in some other currency so these are values in$? That would make sense cause you are not probably playing PLO100 yet?

He's playing in Swedish kronas, $1 ~ 6.47 SEK. So PLO$31 stands for SEK 1/2, PLO$62 - SEK 2/4, etc.
