Yeah but who has that discipline? A lot of people just fail at shot taking and never move down fast enough. I agree with your br guidelines. The more I play PLO the more I think 100 buy ins is not enough. You see some good regs lose 120 buy ins in less than 30K hands and its just so sick.

why im never gona learn PLO. Either i get good and own NLHE or quit. Maybe i will play 8 game.

But PLO is so god damn fun added to the fact that NLHE fish are like Phil Ivey in comparison to PLO fish. Tis the reason I only play PLO now.

I feel like donking around in 6max 5plo on FTP if anyone cares to join.

Don't know if the river check-minraise made him spew or if he actually misread his hand here. He was that bad a fish...

^^^Haha that's awesome! Here fishy, fishy...

I really really miss HEM. My laptop is back at HP getting fixed again so I don't have it on this computer.

Tonight I player in PS's $11+r. I didn't mean to. I've played it in the past but with my recent losses I'm not rolled for it.

Anyways, was distracted and thought I was signing up for a different mtt.

2161 entrants, 4 1/2 hrs of play and I just got knocked out in 66th for $111.74. Not too bad for a misclick, lol. I did have 1 rebuy and the add on. so $30 invested.

I am happy to finish deep, but I'm also mad at myself for not making ft. 2x I was in the top 10 leader board when we were under 100 peeps. I was playing too nitty. I did have a very aggressive table that had a lot of all in's and peeps showing down very big hands. I lost 2 hands in a row, and at those stages the raises and reraises pf are huge.

I had AKos on btn and called ss's ai pf for 1/3 my stack then the bb calls as well, I had him covered, but not by much. He was a nit and I expected him to fold, glad I didn't shove though. Flop came out with 3 suited connectors, 567hearts, I had none, bb shoves, I fold, he shows 77, turns a boat.

Next hand I had AQsu in co, I called 4x bb from a guy who raised pf often with ranges of JJ-AA & AK-A10su and would check the flop if he didn't hit and fold to a 1/2 pot sized bet. So I call, miss the flop, he shoves, I fold, he shows QQ.

That left me ss. I went 9 orbits without playing a hand or seeing a flop, couldn't get a medium or high pair or suited connectors or any premiums. I finally shove ai on btn (folded to me) with AKos, sb shoves with JJ, bb shoves with QQ and flop comes out J high.

Oh well. I'll just need to do better next time...

HEM comes with a license for two different computers, and they let you reset those when you upgrade to a new computer too. Just requires that you send them an email about it. So there's no reason not to install HEM on the computer you're using now. You can even just install the evaluation version if it's only a temporary thing.

I don't play donkaments, but i'm pretty sure this is a standard shove.

 

[Emperor IX]

wat!

Yeah, might be for the better anyway because I'm starting school (actual on campus classes) again. That coupled with dealing at sunnybrook means less distractions are better. I'm still confident the squares will sell though.

TY for the info. I only had HEM up and running for a couple months before the laptop problems. I'm using my husbands old laptop, it's 5 yrs old and still has xp on it. Anyways, he didn't want me downloading anything other than the poker sites. I should have my laptop back later this week or early next week.

I don't play donkaments, but i'm pretty sure this is a standard shove.

Yes it is, normally. I had been at this table for 1 1/2 hrs. and had pretty good reads and lots of notes on my opps. There were some crazy big hands going on. If I shove, I get called. Normally I want that, but like I said, there were so many crazy big hands, like the one that took me out, that I wanted to see the flop first. Nitty yes, but I think it was right play for the table at the time.

**I read through the screen shots for dummies, figured out how to do a screen shot for my first time, was going to post it. But then the attributes were too large, I used the stretch/skew in paint to make them smaller to fit the required dimensions but then I get the error message that the file size is too large, 600+ mb when it only accepts 24. I give, it's late and I have to get up early my kids for school. Niters!

Gotta love PLO - my heater continued, up just under 11 bi's in just over 1k hands, can't bear the possibility of a downswing right now, pretty much done for the day...

This is my fifth +/- 10bi swing so far in just two months, agree w your br suggestions...

I haven't been playin' many cash games lately due to variance kickin' hard but I enjoyed this hand.

I love when a sb (sb, in this case, is not the abbreviation for 'small blind') sser loads the minimum & gets it all-in thinkin' they're good just to find out they're dominated.

..... and, it starts tomorrow . Foresight ftw.

The 12 table session went well. The only thing that was kinda worrying was that I think I got way too nitty. Normally I might play like 25/19 when 6 tabling but it dropped significantly to 17/13 eek when I added the extra. It did not affect me too badly because the players are so horrendous that they stack off so light and give up a lot but that just seems too nitty to me.

sexy bluff, I run like your nan, minimaxmod for Ipoker is the shit, that is all!
