Hi all,
This will be my PLO progress log. I started playing PLO four weeks ago, at the moment, I am playing PLO2 and PLO5 to learn the basics.
Goals for this month:
Spending 90 minutes on theory each day
Playing 500 - 1000 hands per day (only one tabling Zoom at the moment)
Writing a blog entry at the end of the day
GL JustMejaci. As a fellow PLO Player i can recommend Kyyberis Videos and his Pokerstrategy Streams at Twitch.
Hey deralte71,
Thank you 
I am already taking coachings with Kyyberi and following him on twitch.
Summary from today
Theory
25 Minutes: practicing EP preflop ranges with the help of PLO Trainer
First execution 45/50 right (90%)
Second execution 43/50 (86%)
25 Minutes: watching 1 Video the 10-Weeks Transformation from JNandezPoker and making notes
100 Minutes: practicing post-flop play with analyzing my played hands with the help of PokerJuice.
Poker
I did play 500 Hands and 2 Stacks Down.
Bankroll at the moment: 90 Stacks for NL5
My most significant leak at the moment is post-flop play. That's why I started to spend most of my study time one it.

Summary:
Theory
25 Minutes:
Before I did start my first session, I did analyze hands from the forum with Preflop Helper and PokerJuice and did compare my conclusion with the answers.
75 Minutes:
I did buy me today "The Mental Game of Poker" as a Kindle version and did start reading and making the assignments in the Book. Good read so far, and I am pretty sure it will improve my game.
30 Minutes:
Session analysis. I was not sure if As9s7d6h is Call from the BTN vs 3 Bet from BB so I did check it in the Preflop Helper.
The rest I did spend analyzing a hand in PokerJuice were I was really unsure.
Poker:
I did play 522 Hands
I am one and a half stack up in the session today.
I wanted to post today two hands I was not sure whats the best play, but I did not write my thoughts down and don't want to post the hands without any thoughts. I will post the two hands with some other hands from today's session in Hands History Forum tomorrow and link them here.

Summary:
Today I made the decision that I will play half of my time Zoom and the other half on regular tables. I think its a good mix. I did create an account at RIO and did play 200 hands.
Theory:
60 Minutes:
I did watch Kyyberis YouTube video on PLO Study Session, AAxx after 3betting in PLO and made notes. Could get a lot valuable information from it for my play.
25 Minutes:
At the coaching session yesterday with Kyyberi, I realized that I am playing pretty tight from EP. I did spend the time to practice my EP RFI with the PLO Trainer.
30 Minutes:
Since I am playing my regular tables at RIO with no HUD, I did start watching Kyyberi's ps.com video about How To Play Without a HUD
Poker:
I did play 200 hands regular tables at RIO today, no big losings or winnings.
