[Monoxide]

I hate you KC

lol


But yeah man you run bad, it will turn around soon but yeah ur in a downswing for sure.

 

[Tygran]

Geez..

I've been playing for an hour and the best hand i've seen between 6 tables is 77

 

[zachvac]

Wow been playing a bit of PLO and it's a gold mine. icemonkey got me hooked a bit last night where we both played some 25plo then I've watched most of the Whitelime/Venessa Selbst DC video on it and been playing some 100plo. It's seriously a gold mine. I just still need to convince myself that I can have top set in a HU pot on a non-straight non-flush board and still only have 58% equity. Thought it was a horrible beat and plugged it in and was very surprised lol. Think I'm gonna keep playing it a bit as a nice change of pace from NLHE.

 

[kleitches]

Okay, I didn't think it would have to come to this but it's pretty undeniable now. I'm calling out for help to anyone that can assist me. First off, I beat 2nl for 20bb/100 and 5nl for 16bb/100 over about a 140k sample. I just want to say that every time I move up to 10nl, I ****ing run like god damn ****ing shit and it pisses me the **** off. Seriously, I chalked it up to variance the first time, then I said I just run really bad when I lost like 7 buy-ins the second time, then tonight I took another shot at it and get absolutely ****ing pwned. It's 10nl, WTF is going on? I swear to god I thought I was a decent player, but every time I move up to 10nl I get absolutely crushed and leak money out the ass. It's not fun anymore and I desperately need some guidance. I play 6-max so if there are any short hand players out there that have played this limit, I'm begging you to help me. I need someone to sweat me, take a look at my stats, etc. because this is just ****ing ridiculous. I know I shouldn't care where others are relative to me, but seeing people make posts on how they're doing pwning 400nl, 100nl, 25nl, etc. and I can't win even slightly at 10nl just life tilts the **** out of me. Especially since I crushed 5nl and 10nl is just one limit up. Seriously guys, please help.

If you really start playing PLO seriously, i think we have a new candidate for the "omg, it's rigged, can't believe how bad i run, **** poker" crowd. E(x^2)-E(x)^2 happens a lot more at PLO than HE, doesn't it?

PM me, maybe we can set something up. Or you can just export all your hands, zip them up, and ship them to me and I'll take a look.

who died and made you march king

 

[switch0723]

im going to spend like $200 today to qualify through steps into the warmup, then tilt buy in directly if i fail

 

[eNTy]

Steps are too easy to spend $200 on them failing..

And emperor Nero approves of this megalomanian thread.
In gratitude he will burn it down at the end of March.

 

[BelgoSuisse]

Wow, i suck at PLO. Just lost 6 buy-ins over the last 2 hours. I think i need to do some serious studying if I want to diversify into that...

 

[dg1267]

I hope my bankroll can last through march! I'm trying to get it moved to Stars because UB is just tilting the chit outta me. I really hate that damn site. But w/e happens I just don't really care anymore.

I have noticed with O8 that it is just the opposite variance wise and I have more fun with that game. But you are certainly right about PLO. You have to almost CRAVE it there.

IMO, "Rigged" + "This game is dumb my aces never win" = Fun way to make money.

 

[dsvw56]

Anyone have any good movie recomendations? Something in the Crime/Thriller genre preferably. Think Zodiac

yeah O8 is a lot easier imo but for that reason you don't have huge edges over other regs and there isn't much action (when the fish still draw to only half the pot (or sometimes even draw to get quartered) they don't stick around long. I've heard the most important street in PLO is the river because it's the only time where you'll have a significant edge, when the opponent is drawing dead. Of course even more important is making nut hands on the river that you can valuetown and get idiots to call off with hands like top 2, bottom set, non-nut flushes, etc.

 

[pantin007]

12.5 buy in sess
lol omaha swingaments but a good start to march

[switch0723]

[The Shrog]

I thought I was good at omaha like a year ago...

Turns out, I'm not.

 

[Pokertron3000]

Cannot satty to 200k in 3 tries so decided to buy in, is anyone else playing or is it just million players here?

Whichever good luck in the majors today.

Going splash out on the 200k havn't played it in a while and go back to grinding tomorrow (sngs)

Currently going no where with my BR not profiting and not losing but at least I still have loads of buy-ins for my 1$ games with the veriance in sngs how many buy-ins would you have before a move up to the 3$ games?
