It's a work in progress. Only had about 2 hours to practice it over the past two weeks as real life important **** has taken over.

Oh good morning.

After playing several thousand hands of PLO8 I have decided that high-variance games are not fun and I wanna go back to playing BigO/FLO8 and literally nothing else.

I would think plo8 has less variance

Maybe, but small stakes 08 is the easiest form of poker that I know of.

+1.

and +2 just for good measure.

Some times hi stakes o8 is even easier. On ignition the 30-60 is significantly softer than 5-10 and 10-20

Lol, as I type this I just bet river and got called on A234 board and axoooed with the pair of 2s and live 6

That **** never happens to me.

Move up to where they don't respect your raises.

I'd load up a pile on Ignition, that seems to be the thing to do, except they've got blackjack and I'm a sick ****.

Howard, you're a degen?

Somebody link the lock box story, entertaining read

Might as well have two links, double the fun!

Oh, and glad you liked it, JL!

LMAO I remember that story but didn't remember that it was you.

It almost worked! Here's the latest lol: Lately when I've felt the urge I've announced to the table '$5K if you catch me playing BJ today!'

It's gotten to be a running joke amongst the regs. 'Is the award on today?'

I'm so sick, jfc.

I seriously wonder if whatever I do wrong when I happen to play O8 can be easily catalogued onto a 3x5 card or something because I literally cannot win


Of course, that also applies to all forms of poker right now, so maybe I just suck

I have both read and thoroughly enjoyed this before. I think even before I had an account.

Just didn't realize it was you, Howard!

Pure gold - worth reading a second time.

Any of the 2+2 books will make you a winner overnight as long as you can handle the boredom. That's the toughest part and probably why low limit 08 is so good: the rest of them 1. don't know what they're doing and 2. even if they do they just can't wait for proper hands to play.

I'm glad that you liked it. I look back on it and face palm myself every time.

I'll relate another quick BJ story from Resorts:

Playing 2am Monday and I have to leave to get to work. I'm up ~13K. The floor lady asks why I'm leaving, I explain, she says they'll send me home in a limo and I can sleep, I say 'what about my car?', she says they'll have someone drive it behind the limo, I say ok, 2 hours later I'm plus ~25K and leave and can see the floor lady is visibly pissed, I get out to the limo there's a guy w/ a box, asks my name, I say yes, he says he's from room service, I say I'm taking a limo, he says 'it's room service for the limo.'

Box stuffed w/ all kinds of food and drinks and I didn't get any sleep at all.

BJ story huh?

I would read more of these stories, I find them interesting.

There's a megathread in BBV called Degen Stories if you need to kill an afternoon or five.

Where do you think 99% of my posts have been?

For some of my work stories there's my 60th B-Day thread:

The post says "today is my 60th birthday" but the post is from 2010. Did someone transcribe the whole conversation from a cuneiform stone tablet or some sort of cave painting?
