Wait, now that I think of it, you might be one of the posters ITT that already plays that game ...

You can go to "my 2+2->subscribed threads" and see at a glance if any of your subscriptions have been updated.

Wtf dude! Don't go around accusing ppl of playing PLO or not playing PLO when u don't even know wtf ur talking about! Typical ignorant American know-it-all... Can u even name one person ITT who kinda sorta maybe plays PLO who lives in a state that starts with an "A" and had an MC Hammer poster above their dresser when they were a kid? Ya, I didn't think so...

No money in PLO, everyone's solid.

If you dont think it's likely you will isolate the limper then I might consider just limping along in that spot. That hand is going to be tough to play in a bloated multiway pot oop on a lot of flops.

At least the gap is on the right side.

Lol the only way to isolate anyone in these games is if everyone misclick-folds to you in the sb. But when everyone puts the pf raiser on AAxx and tries to outflop them (with stuff like AJ63 no less) good things are bound to happen imo.

They don't take action from my state unfortunately.

Yeah I tried 6max PLO briefly. Folded about 95% of the hands for two hours and was down a buyin having seen fewer than 5 flops. Probably just super cold-decked but it didn't help my impression of the game any.

plo is terrible

Oh. Yeah, that does sound helpful, thanks.

Confirmed boorish American.

Pretty sure if you are folding 95% of your PLO hands you are doing it wrong, no matter how cold your deck. Haven't you ever watched the big PLO games on Stars? They are ****ing wild and awesome. Maybe this excerpt from EuroRounders will inspire you:

Michel: "Right, okay, but seriously, I played for an hour, doing nothing but folding. Then I won a huge pot."

Joey Croissant: "Aces? Kings? Ace-King doublesuited? Suited aces? High connectors? Middle doublesuited connectors? Two big pair?"

Michel: "Rags."

Joey Croissant: "That's probably fine too, you're only like a 48/52 dog.

5% vpip for 2 hours means you have some holes in your preflop game, no matter how cold decked you got. In most games you can open 80%+ of your buttons profitably.

Was exaggerating at 5%, but I played very few hands. Aggro table and I was promptly repopped in the hands where I took shots at people with speculative trash. I'd like to know what a decent BTN 3bet range is against a LAG CO open, because I'm pretty sure I had very few of those hands. I def had zero of the Joey Croissant hands for the session (this was 1 tabling 6max while I played other games). I've played probably 5 sessions of PLO in my life and they have all gone this way, so yeah, I am bitter and I ****ing hate PLO. But I love Limit O8 and play a ton of hands, not sure wtf is going on.

If there's a thread you want to keep up on but it only gets new posts a few times a month it's nice, e.g., locale-specific threads in the Brick & Mortar subforum.

ty RG

Also there's a new episode of the Simpsons right now where Lisa gets addicted to online poker. She runs it up to 400k before getting stacked in one hand to Sideshow Bob. Guess Springfield wasn't affected by Black Friday.

zomg Bart was playing under the Sideshow Bob account. But then they got their 800k+ confiscated by the site for playing underage (playing under the same IP is no prob) They should have lied about their age like I did back in the day. Fish.

also the animated dealer would berate the players, which was pretty funny

warrrrg, 400 vpp to go

finally finished. cannot repeat the same mistake. Never going to tell myself "oh only 60k vpps for the next milestone, easy to do that in 1mo. just grind out small stakes to get there". nothing more tilting than playing half assed breakeven poker for 40k hands. even had to grind some 3/6 and 2/4 off peak hours.

2013, no more sloppy play, gonna run up the roll again. luckily i ran good at high stakes this year, but otherwise my results blow.

One thing i realized in 2012 is how much of mind-**** the following combo can be:
1. ~10x difference between lowest and highest stake u grind regularly
2. avg 20k hands per month, and more or less all of it being low-edge 6max games.

4000 BB downswings are not fun, not at all

it seems possible that that is not a downswing

At least you didn't have an animated dealer berating you...though actually I think that might help my game sometimes.

If your average loss rate was 1BB/100 then 3BB/100 would still be a downswing.

Anyway the point was loosing 4kBB sucks. Dont ever try to make 170k VPP at small stakes in a month unless youre got some kind of enhanced humanoid freak.

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Ya man, 2012 is def a year that I learned a lot about myself and realized I need to make some serious changes if I want to get my life back on track. A lot of soul searching, meditation, some good advice from friends and family...

Poker is ****ing stupid, money is a hoax, and caring about anything is gay. I accomplished absolutely nothing positive in 2012 and plan to be an even bigger waste of oxygen in 2013. I hope we all get nuked tonight.
