When you figure it out tell me to pls .
Eh, won't happen in my fucking lifetime.
It's getting beyond sickness. I am officially losing for 1 month now. I think I had 2 winning sessions in 30 days or so.
Will record a session, to reassure I'm doing the right things.
Ok, recorded <30 min. PLO10 SH video, 2 tabling, split video in two parts. No audio, so just a boring video. Will watch it later to see what I'm doing wrong.
Haven't checked the videos, so no idea about quality and stuff.

Finally out of the slump, third winning session in a row, shipped 5BI today.
1/6th of the bonus is cleared + 2 stellar rewards acquired = nice.
Im back to watching videos/learning MTT, want to ship some donkament
Today played in a $5.5 $12K gtd, got out KK vs AA, standard stuff
Hopefuly, finally finally finally i get new windows tomorrow which should fix my HEM problems. Weeeeeeeee. Until then.
EDIT: Oh, also Im not tracked at stars, so bronze level - here i come!

So, finally finally finally finally finally finally finally finally I am back with some HEM graph/hands action.
Today's session (what a waste of grind time, right?
):

Boom. Kind of.
What else:
- was near sea on weekend, swimming/ball game action. Also beer.
- sick heat, I'm out of clean underpants.
- cracked front window of my car.
- full tilt wrote to me stating 'come back and play at our site'. No bonus offers, nothing. Just come back and play, you hear, bitch? Or else!
- check out Irooz's blog, he's the ultimate PLO force of the future. And I'm somewhat jealous.
- NightFrostAss got interviewed. Not jealous at all. Hate publicity. Hate pubes. Love pubs. Love rhymes. Busta rhymes.
Im clearly on overheat, so I better stop this blog update before it's too late. Ta-ta!
EDIT: Oh, and I've watched movie called 'Wrestler' yesterday. I had it for a long time, but was discouraged to watch it by some bad opinions towards the movie. Nevertheless I have decided to watch it yesterday.....oh my god.......bring me back my wasted time.......what did that movie get any award for? it was painfully grey and predictable and stupid. Seriously, how stupid is the scenario? You want some quality stuff, Rourke? Contact Seth MacFarlane or Seth Green. Meanwhile I'm suing you for terrible movie which made my face hurt.
1000 hands in, results:

Meh session, same villain was sitting to my direct left on all four tables, was hard
Hope to hit GoldStar in 3 days and start harvesting those FPPs then wasting them in hyper-turbos
Made straight flush today, weee
Did not get much with it thou
EDIT: UPDATE

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
epic
Sure lets throw it all to the garbage can, after all day grind. Love it. PLO is the best
From just a quick glance to your blog:
Could it be you are too result oriented ? Especially short term. Almost every pots comes with a graph showing results of the day (often even updated once or twice). Maybe it would be better to focus on how you played the hands, perhaps post an interesting one here and rather check on your results after the session or day or week has ended ?
btw: it may all sound very nice, but I truly also SUCK in accomplishing this, also need to work on it.
I'll try to follow this blog from now on, as I'm totally new to PLO, but like it so far. Playing .02/.05 on stars atm and just swinging around b-e learning the tricks and the trades on the game.
Are you turning some profit atm long-run?
Hey skimon, thanks for opinion,
well I post daily graphs to keep this blog alive and keep me motivated to play and stuff. Also losing hand history/data is not uncommon for me so at least I save it in my blog
Usually I'm tired after the session and cannot be bothered to post or analyse hands. But now I logged on in the morning, before the grind, so I can post some hands from yesterday, I guess
First of all, graph:

Typical swing-a-ling, eh?

Vs maniac who plays 94% of hands. Easy v-bet on river, he calls off with random trash. Would fold to a raise obv. Anyway, he pwned me on river, I was 92.5% favourite on the turn

Putting some nice volume in the last couple days, break even results thou
Reached GoldStar, got 4th Stellar Reward = nice. What is not nice is that all those VIP MTTs run on Saturdays
Im usually not around on Saturdays. Meh.
Fun stuff: entered $3 hyper turbo sat to $33 MTT. Wanted to ship it and unregister to get $T. 42 entrants, I luckbox to top 3 which get the ticket. Boom, turns out MTT already started and I get seated there without the ability to unregister
Anyway, had a terrible, just horrific card run and was out in the second hour. Only premiums I got were QQ and AK, in 100 hands or so
Still managed to play 20 VPIP or so, trying to accumulate chips. Until my AJo ran into 77
Anyway. Couple of hands from yesterday:

Vs maniac. Love catching their bluffs
That's it, going camping in an hour or so, so I better grind some. Be back on Sunday evening.
Quick question:
how accurate is all-in EV on holdem? Do you see yourself playing catch and run with it or is it just hopelessly out of bounds and not a good estimate? Of course I know that you need to play toooons of hands in order to see those occurrences multiple times in order for them to even out in the long run.
Just because I'm running quite a bit under it, but if it's a good estimate, I couldn't care less, then I know I'm playing OK
Still spewing away money after I have a nice run, not believing those fishes have the nuts when going AI, but most of the time they do. I always forget they pay off real nice with crap, but you should believe an unknowns aggression
Well, I find myself under EV more often than not. I think it depends on your playing style, if you float/peel/do crazy stuff alot you get lucky more and run above EV more often. Don't worry too much about that EV line IMO
but you should believe an unknowns aggression
Haha, exactly, they should, damn donkeys
Anyway, was out for the weekend, played some hands on Friday, results:

Blocker play.
Maybe we could do a sweatsession? I only play PLO5-10 tho (with way too small br, but you started PLO25 so if I don't look for the high variance plays I should be okay?).
Interested ?
Hey I started playin the lowest stake plo (6max) nl 25 at party poker at first for fun. They werepretty juicy and the game just seems so easy vs fish as you get thenuts so often =]. Any tips?
Hey Jackalof, looking at your graphs I get pretty much the same feeling as about mine: get into green at the beginning, start to do "funny stuff" thinking oh I just won so much, can afford a little gamble. omg I'm b / e again, lets win some and quick! Then crawling back to b / e until the end of the session lol
Maybe its worth doing more self - monitoring during the session, as it looks you're getting constantly doomswitched at some point.
Maybe we could do a sweatsession?
Maybe we could, but I don't have microphone, so Skype text chat only
I'll add you via Community and we can talk.

PLO25 at Party was where my journey began. Tons and tons of fishes cuz it's the lowest PLO limit at that site (or at least it used to be). Good strategy is to make them tilt by trash talking and showing bluffs, then tightening up and taking their moniez
Or being tight aggressive, that works too
Play your position, open alot of buttons, ???, profit.
Those 1 and 2 outers - get used to it, they're kinda standard. What can tilt the poop out of you is running cards that beat you. I once witnessed guy shoving 55** on xx6 board, no draw, another called with 66**. Turn 5, river 5.... 0.1% equity on flop. Boom monster tilt/depression. I think that player already commited suicide
@Irooz: you said it, panda
That dinosaur makes sen----C----e.
Maybe its worth doing more self - monitoring during the session, as it looks you're getting constantly doomswitched at some point.
Hehe, nice observation. I have been reviewing my play for quite a while, and the leak is quite simple - I need time (an hour or so) to get 'into the zone'. Until then I just play bad/passive/predictable. I don't know how to shake off that morning lazyness. Coffee/excercises do not help
I start my session and I know I will slump 1BI or more by doing some terrible payoff or smth like that. For example, graph from my yesterday's session: another 'hello, my name is jackalof, and here is my climb off the hole'.
