Just an example of how I'm running in my -$250 session so far. I may post more later.

*** WARNING: UNSOLICITED ADVICE ***
(Just ignore this post if you didn't want any advice on the hands)

Hand #1: I accidentally saw the results for this hand (all other hands, I gave advice before I read the results). Thus, my advice may be skewed a bit (although I don't think so...)
I'm not a big fan of top pair+OESD on a 3-way flop.

I take two approaches on this hand.
1) Bet out and fold to any raise on the flop
2) Check, and see action.
-If the button checks, I plan to lead any safe turn cards or any of my gin cards.
-If the button bets and UTG+1 folds, then 60 % of the time, I call and lead on *any* turn, and the other 40% of the time, I checkraise him.
-If the button bets and UTG+1 calls, then I call and play straightforward on turn
-If the button bets and UTG+1 raises, then I fold.

Hand #2:
Looks fine to the river. My river action is heavily dependent on the quality of player in the BB. My default here (without info) is to call such a smallish "value bet", but if I think the BB is a quality PLO player (or a tight nit), I don't mind folding here because the obvious draw connected on the turn (really, all you can beat is a bluff).

Hand #3:
I check that flop too. I hate bottom set OOP against 4 opponents on a coordinated board, so if there were any other callers or raisers, I'm folding on the flop to the BB bet. Depending on the type of player in the BB, I can either fold, call, or raise his bet once it's heads-up. My default is actually to fold or raise here.

Hand #4:
Looks fine.

It is ****in frustrating. They are supposed to hit less times than we hold up. Instead they hit over and over.

How am i supposed to keep playing good when i put my money in as at least %60 fav all the time and lose EVERY MOTHER****IN EACH OF THEM?

I was check/calling until I noticed how short button was. He only had about $9 left on the flop so I figured I'd raise to isolate. I was pretty certain he had a set, but I was getting good enough odds to put him allin.

Against full stacks this is a pretty marginal spot.

Ouch! I have a hand just like that from a 2/4 table on Sunday. We were heads-up on the flop, and we ended up repotting each other back and forth until we were allin. He had middle set and filled up. I think it was for $1,000 or so... (I'm at work right now, so I don't have the HH in front of me). The good news is that it happened early during a session where I started off dropping 4.5 buyins, but eventually made it all back plus an extra $25 or so. I hope the same comeback is in your near future as well.

Oops, I missed UTG+1 chip stack at that point. Yes, in that case, I may do the exact same thing --especially if I think the UTG+1 overvalues his hands post flop.

It's funny - the actual cash doesn't bother me. It's the buyins. How many BB I lose. I can get annoyed over dropping two buyins at 2c/5c or at 10c/25c.

Losing $50 at $10PLO would be more annoying than losing $300 at $100PLO.

I am not that sure about this.

I agree completely. The pot I tangled in probably totaled 2 buy-ins --one of which was from me .

It was a very swingy day, because that is the first time I ever put 4.5 buy-ins into one table (online) without a break. The play was just so atrocious, that I figured --if I kept a level head-- it would all come back to me. It was, however, high stress to know I was risking so many buyins to do this. If it weren't for the fact that it was 6:30 am, and I was dog tired (and had to "get up" in 4 hours), I would have happily stayed, because even when I left, there were two *HUGE* PLO fish sitting with double buy-in stacks. I only dream of running across a table like that again soon.

It's all about how long it *should* take you to win that back by sticking to the same level and eking out your BB/100 winrate. In that case, it's really the number of buyins won or lost at a given level, rather than amount of money won or lost that is the determining factor as to how long it will take (on average) to make that money back.

A while ago I played some $1 heads up games on Pacific for a laugh. I lost 7 or 8 by randomly shoving blind every hand, but I kept losing 50 50s and 60/40s. I also lost a 75/25. I started to tilt. And I mean proper, full on tilt. I was joining them and trying to play seriously, but I would do things like check shove bottom pair in the 3rd hand because I was so damn annoyed at losing every time. I ended up losing about $20 playing those, and I was amazed that I could seriously tilt playing such tiny stakes.

That's right. I am just mad that i lost 2 buyins on that level

i am the same way. i often care more about the losing part than the i lost money part.

Anyone do anything different? Hand not worth its own thread IMO.

Well, after adding the deposit bonus that was released, I actually broke even. I lost 5 buyins in a 135 hand stretch there though, which wasn't much fun.

I have to get a newer version of PokerGrapher: mine doesn't work with PTO.

Missed so many of these the last couple of days

lock it up

You're the one with the superpowers, go to it.

Why is it that I sit down with someone to play HU, and after like 3 hands I get 4 shortstackers coming to the table and playing tight?

I want to play shorthanded FFS.

I would just like to mention that the PLO strat forum is a helluva lot more popular than it was 6 months ago. Nice to see .

I remember the days when this forum was Bud posting a hand, and me and him discussing it. Every now and then someone else would pop in for a couple of days, but for long enough we were the only regulars.

I actually only started posting in here because I knew a little about the game and noone else seemed to be responding at all.

You're right. I think a smaller river bet is a bit better.

Guess where flopped boat lost to quads...

I finally got that PokerEV program that everyone's talking about on 2+2. Looks like luck's had a lot more to do with my results then I thought, both in April when I was running bad and lately when I've been running well. Here are April and August graphs of Sklansky bucks vs. actual winnings:

April:


August:



I did definitely tilt and start playing bad in April, but I think it was just that I wasn't used to running that bad that sent me into the tilt spiral in the first place.
Oh, and Full Tilt's definitely rigged.

sooooo standard, first hand of night session
