It's been a while since I've played poker. Had some serious gambling issues and stayed away from the game for some time.

I've decided to dabble back in cards after a few years because of the natural love for the game.

I've deposited $70 and will hoping to shoot up the PLO micros while short stacking (50 BB buyin). I've decided to use an aggressive BRM structure to hopefully get out of the micros on Stars as quick as possible.



Will be using this thread to track progress and post some hands.

It's aggressive, but I love the fact you have a plan in motion. I haven't been 100% on my own guidelines, but I've been close enough where it's eliminated the guess work. GL.

    Biggest losses came twice with AAxx w/unfriendly boards. What can you do.

    Put in session number 2. Felt I played a bit better, added a 3rd table and then a 4th as well. Opened up my range a little bit and did not play as timid as I normally do

    Session info:

    Hands: 314
    Net: +$23.56
    BB/100: 150.06

    29/15/5.41

    Bankroll: $94.61

    Getting close to the shot at PL10

    Put in another session, since I thought I was on a heater. Did not go as well.

    Hands: 799
    Net: -$7.65
    BB/100: -19.15

    26.5/10.8/2.13

    Looks like my aggression was a bit too high.

    Still at PL5. I've hit chromestar.

    Question is should I hold my star coins for a larger windfall, or cash them quickly to help me move up.

    Don't think I'll get much playing in this weekend due to life commitments.

    Might as well get a graph in here to add some colour.
