I am creating a blog to continuously improve my game and also to enforce discipline in my play. I believe discipline is number one quality to truly crush any poker game. Lately I have become too complacent and not putting any effort to improve or even to play with full focus.
I mainly play plo5 in private online games which are incredibly soft if you compare it to standard poker site games such as pokerstar etc.

I regard my game as tight aggressive which is full of mistakes and undisciplined moves but i am still able to win because field is soft. Here I am looking for support and feedback from fellow members on my hand reviews. Pardon my English I am not a good writer.

For now, here are my two objectives
Do hand reviews daily and learn from mistakes
Post at least few hands in this forum

I guess should not have opened but Vpip requirement is there. Should have just flatted flop and fold turn.

how do you study 5card PLO?
h1 you limp AA UTG. are you limping everything?

I have questions.

Are these the real stakes?

What happens if your VPIP drops below 40? Over how many hands is it measured? Is it a rolling average? Can I play please?

It's not hard to get into the games, there are agents that have paid to advertise on 2+2 here.

What happens is that every 5 or 10 or 25 hands, however it is set, they check your VPIP and if it is under 40% or whatever you get the boot. I think if you are close like 39% they keep you in but I might be mistaken about that.

I didn't 4 bet with the specific hand because hand was not suited and connected,if it was AAJTK ds or AAJT9ds I would have 4 bet,
And other problem is if i 4 bet pre opponent is gonna know what i have and its playbility is not that good after flop.

Instant your vpip is down, you get auto kicked if your are not on call time.
here 1 unit is around 0.15 USD, but there are variety of stakes. If you want to play, we can work something out.

Both guys are 3 betting monkey, How should I approach this?

I am sorry I misread my posted hand.
Please scratch above comment.

Hand was double suited and I limped utg. A lot of raising and re raising was going on and to keep up with vpip I am limp folding also.
I don't always limp, I always keep in mind stack sizes and involved players' tendencies to 3 bet and 4 bet.

But I get your point, If i open raise either I get 3 betted and I can put huge multiway 4 bet or can play a single raised pot. Open raising seems better.
