Done!

Quick update before some real update,

Short 550 hands session yesterday on NL10. Ok play, not special. Was in a hurry so couldn't play more. I think my weekend volume will be extremely low, but I will do better next week

I will update some graph here ASAP, perhaps tomorrow ♦

Oh good, way too low volume now. I'm sure I'll catch up next week for sure. I want rubber duck! ♦

One Omaha hand includes six Holdem hands. So to compensate the low volume you should play PLO!

I've been actually playing only Omaha this weekend and MTT's. I had some sort of a bright idea about the depths of PLO. And it worked! I didn't lose my whole stack ♦

Ok, PokerStars just made my day. They have this promotion "Mission Impossible". It gives you a ticket to lottery (usually I don't win a thing). Doesn't matter, chance to win big for free, so why not to attend?

Yep, great promotion!

Good luck!

I was quite sure that I knew what you had, though ♦ Just had to check if my assumptions were right

So, first great real update!

Todays first session, length: 1 hour, result: BB/100 9.14, hands: 1,5k

Okay, so first session was with 4x NL10 zoom tables and 2x NL5 - Didn't want to put any FR tables as I wouldn't have such edge there versus opponents than I have in 6-max. And in this campaign the volume/results correlation should be the most impotent thing, right :coolface:?

So, I played quite well tbh. I think I should have raised a bit more from CO and 3-bet a bit more from blinds, but otherwise I think I did great. My run was good, too, so it explains some of my good results (unfortunately). Still, I was able to play quite balanced and my best A-game.

Rate: 8/10.

Hand:

Flatters range here could be wide as heaven - however, he is never having a good hand there when he flats. The one squeezing gives some of his hand strength out by that 3-bet sizing, but with the fish and the money in the pot, I think my play is standard. Just lolled to the flatter's hand, though ♦

Results:

Okay, time to wrap up the day!

Second session lasted for less than an hour, and I got 1k hands there. Results were good, so was my game - I was able to exploit the weakness' people provided me and attack when it was necessary, even though my red line goes down a bit ♦. In some spots I could have most likely taken a bit more value from villain, but I think that I got more than I deserved. My game was A- or so now, so I'm quite happy with it (the volume was huge man!)

Session Rate: 8/10
Result (whole day): 17,72bb/100

Not bad day today, tbh. One hand from this later session:

So;

Pre-flop: I think flatting against such a huge open is the best way to go - might be a missclick, but then again, against 4-bet I would have to give up.

Post-flop: Quite dirty play from us both ♦ Villain seemed like a speww-whale, so I don't mind how it end up. I think he overplayed a bit!

Another good one,

We had some dynamics here (I think he gets irritated with my 3-bets and so on). I think I could have played this one way more aggressive, though it's always fun to make slowplays with quads. This time river was a big friend ;o

Oh, the giraffe for the day

Okay, next time I play I will take my red-line trough the roof, I hope.. See ya!

Looking forward to seeing an escalating red line in your next graph!

Hopefully I don't have to cheat and take some older hands.. ♦ But I hope I will see that graph, too. I read some articles today about bluffing and planning and it made me see things in a brighter light again. Hopefully I can adapt the new concepts I learn, even with 6 zoom tables!

No cheating!

Today I was able to play 3 sessions. Results were quite break-even after all, which was disappointing. Good run didn't last and I even got some set-ups in the way. No can do ♦

Here's the giraffe for the day. One thing that is positive is I got nearly my red-line to stay above 0. The last hand of the day ruined it, unfortunately ♦

SO, I'm rating my sessions today 7+. Somehow I didn't feel right all the time and in the end of the sessions I started to lose my focus on tables. On some occasions I was just wondering, how did I end up post-flop and couldn't remember whether I was the aggressor or not ♦

This hand was nice:
