This past week will probably be on of the lazier/weakest volume weeks to be shown. With that being said, my current main game of PLO4/PlO5 is dying. I've been kinda camping around everyday and the game just doesn't really run (and if it does, it's not that great). So you'll find the graph below, with literally zero volume.

my new game of hope to running another $50-100k in EV in the short run, will be this PLO7. The game doesn't exist out in the public market, so no one knows what's going on, myself included. I don't know how far from GTO I'm playing, but I'm just approaching it with simple logic.

I mentioned being up like $3k in 2 days, quickly after that I was stuck like $10k after swinging up to $8k profit (so a $18k downswing). Luckily after yesterday session, I'm net-total up approx $2k for the week playing it here and there. My rakeback though, is much more impressive and probably around $3K for my troubles. I assume with rakeback, I can pump out an okay hourly on PLO7.



^ My ev is actually higher than this. But PT4 doesn't track PLO5 properly so my EV tanked today, instead of being up $3k etc.

Despite my plans to buy off my parents from working, they decided they still have a few willing years in them and that they feel young. As my brother said, god forbid, he has no regrets and did everything in persuasion. The sky is melting and 2020 isn't even over yet.



Global warming is real. Fires are increasing.



7am sky with no filter.

What a year.

Picture tells it all. With positive variance, might be able to lock up $30-50K this month at this rate (with the help of rakeback). But it's PLO, we can run like 30 buyins below EV and just shrug "normal".

Looks like an apocalypse pic. Plo7 sounds like degen land glgl

Os everything a flip preflop in PLO7 seems like a very weird game, I guess all about nuts and blockers?

This game would be a mess in a random live casino game. Yeah you'll find yourself often in a spot saying, GAMBOOOOL while in position.

Some of these players consistently raise me OOP with their 4 card rainbow Aces, against my triple suited 10 card wrap.

Been a great couple days, won about $7k or $8k playing PLO7, won a little bit from PLO4 but that game seems pretty dead now. A real bummer because the rakeback there was easily worth $15-20K a month. Called it about a month ago, was really hoping it'd last another 2-3 months tbh.

Got accused of tag teaming, or rather bum hunting the particular player (which was true) because I did avoid the other player, and basically involved myself with fun player.



I did get to confirm one thing though, just by the way the other guy worded it "5 hand sample" I knew he was a good reg or another pro invited into the game. We would go on to stack the fun player for about 8-10K, he'd leave/sitout. We both played our obligation orbits for about 30 minutes, and like on queue, we both sat out on the same orbit instantaneously.

That looked really bad. Cus fun player was still at table, but sitting out.

As mentioned, my PLO4 game is dying, but today it ran for a couple hours (luckily) and came back alive at the end. Got the PLO7 action on the side, and lost 2 flips, twice, two boards each. So that was kinda bleh. Overall, volume seems to be shrinking to about 30% of what we were previously doing last month.

Today's Graph for only PLO4.



I have great hopes for PLO7, but also looking for a new platform/private game on the side currently trying to bum hunt asian whales. I might be going back to my main game of NLH soon.

Well I guess if I keep talking about how the game is dying, it'll keep running.

Today's Graph:



I pretty much manufactured like over $6-8k in winnings by just straight bluffing w/o equity. There was this one hand where I squeeze pre with AQJTds, 2 callers (1 all-in) and another who covers me. The main pot is about $1.8k iirc, and the sidepot was like $2.8k. Anyways board comes KK4, check check. KK46, check check. KK46K. I lead for 2.8k. Guy folds. All-in guy scoops me as expected. I come out ahead due to sidepot. Idk if that was right/wrong, but I'll solve it at a later time and post here. But regardless of what GTO wants, I guess we can flat say exploit play =D

Two big hands from PLO7 today. First hand was pretty normal, played like PLO6. Except it's kinda tilting that the villain just openly 3bet jams in flop with middle set, NO BACKUP against two opponents clearly stacking off with entire board coverage. Like if one of us had JJ he's just dead. But no complaints, that's a good thing for us in the long run.



Second hand became more disgusting because a guy with 4 card rejammed in, clearly having only suited AA. Which means, I'm playing 3 cards now... With 1 nut suit. I folded. I would've chopped the first board with the T6 straight lol. If I jammed, it would've been the biggest cash game pot of my life I think? At $25,000+.

if it comes down to playing PLO7 for an edge, i think i'll quit. but drunk at a home game could be a lot of fun! gl to ya

I just try to breathe from one pot to the next. I think if there was a way to learn this better (but from my knowledge its impossible from a general market), I'd be more inclined to open sitting the HU tables, but I'm going to stray from that unless the guy is a fun player.

Home gaming this would be insane fun though. Just a little inconvenience cus someone has to stay on top of the variations of cards dealt per person.

Update:
I've been playing less and less poker as of this week. Partially due to game run time, but also I've felt incredibly lazy. My sleep schedule was changed to sleeping around 11pm and waking up at 7-8am (my gf work time). Which results me in just usually wasting time till 5 hours later be4 any game runs. Today I got in maybe 1 hour at PLO7. "won back" approx $2k.

Overall since starting PLO7, I'm only up $10K now. I dont remember when I started (you can scroll up).

Well this week hasn't been the best. Just got CHP clock me going 84 on a 55 zone. At least its 84 and not 86. Apparently there's a world of difference between the 20s and 30s mph difference. Anyways still gg.

Today I wasn't fond of playing poker either. Got in a quick session at PLO7, won about $2k and left within a few orbits. I proceeded to watch tv shows for the next 5 hours (what we do in the shadows season 2)!!! Anyways my gf was working the entire day, so feeling guilty I decided maybe I should play some poker.

Which led me to the decision of playing a random MTT (1 tabling) mostly just for fun. For the first 3-4 hours I'm just idle chatting etc, until more focused taking notes near money bubble and forward. Lost AK vs AT for near final table stack, then lost KT vs 77 and I'm out.



All in all, a good way to end off this sunday. Good profit and just want to start fresh. Currently sweating a % of few runners in it still.

Just finished two $1K MTTs cus once again, it's a lazy errand day. Anyways busted out level 1, running a 250bb bluff against a fish (prior history, he didnt fold cus hes got too much money). Then lost AT vs A6 pre for 11bb tourney life, halfway through the field.

I did get REALLY TILTED when I signed up 14 seconds "late" and found out if you pre-regged you get 30% MORE CHIPS. WTF? THATS SO DUMB. What a dumb ass thing. And there was no detail/notification about this on the tourney either.

The real action was on PLO7 though, almost got my first ever trifecta, it'll be a while when I get this close again I guess. Was ready to go out and buy me a lucky scratcher.



PLO7 today was super lit, people ramming 4 cards against 6 no problem. I was stuck about $3k in the beginning, and managed to come up $3k at the end of it all. So with RB, it's an alright day minus my mtt.

7 card plo and 300/hr at Bj... pro af

PLO7

So recently I was given admin powers for PLO7 and can invite players for .50c/$1 up to $2.50/$5, though you wont have access to the $10/20+ pool etc for various reasons. Maybe we can work out a deal, idk. Also if you're winning over a decent sample, I impose a reasonable force action buy.

For those who I turned down in the DMs in prior weeks, I can get you in now. Also slightly interested in the idea of light coaching/guidance for equity. I'm not going to go balls out and train a random, but if you want someone to observe your gameplay, give tips and pointers here and there, then hit me up.

I prefer if you msged through IG since it has a notification, but here is fine I suppose.

Today:

Came up like $500 after winning $1.5k at 10/20, losing $1k at $2.5/5. (I was really distracted and on the phone towards the end, so just like quit after realizing what was happening). What a spew.

I also realized something just now, my main PLO4 hasn't really ran since the last time I posted that graph. I feel like my volume has died since. You shall be missed.

I guess at the end of next week/month, I'll post an update of total numbers and stats for this challenge. I'm about to forget I'm actually trying to win $500k/year..

Didn't expect this for the rest of the day.

Coaching:



It's been many years since I've even seen an Ignition table. But I wanted to make sure the guy was at least capable of beating 50PLO before I started him at the .50c/$1 and higher for PLO7. With that being said, off the hour and half I saw, super soft game. Literally 80% of the time, open on the BU, sb and bb would both fold when it was 3 or 4 max. Literally printing by opening any random hand there.

PLO4:

Like everyone does in poker, if you keep complaining, eventually it'll get better. PLO4 IS BACK! And just literally for about 2 hours (I missed the first hour, but got the text game was running) and got in asap.



EV is actually UP +$4k, not down $3K. PT4 messed up randomly as usual, since I lost the hand, EV tanked with it. IIRC as usual, got it in ahead, lose =]

- With PLO4 closing out the night, with rakeback and everything else kicked in from all games, looking at around $4k profit for today.

Today's PLO4 Graph:



Edit* Just finished the session. The fish threw a donkey at me. So I just stayed the extra 40-60 hands HU to eliminate his $1k stack. EV is much higher. PT4 has problems.

A rather "productive" day but didn't really play that well. For starters, I kept playing awful at $2.50/5 PLO7, just dumping $500 buyins at a time. Ramming and jamming at like 38% equity over and over. Luckily ran good at $10/20 and that recovered most of my losses. Net down around $1500 from PLO7 for the day.

MTT: Ended up losing $1k in a PLO tourney. ~15 away from the money. Played an important spot poorly, which caused me to lose 1/2 my stack. From there it was all over.

Early Update:

Played several hours of PLO7, stuck approx $500. I'm sure with my rb, I'm kinda near even. But why I really want to post, is the image down below.



Typical mid/hs game. I guess we're all bum-hunters.

GLGL dude, will be following!

Thanks Man! Always can use max luck.

Today's PLO4 12 hands. LOL. I waited the entire day, open sat here and there for hours at a time, people would lobby/spectate, but not sit down. Until a pro sat with me, game ran for a second. And I was like, Imma just watch Social Dilemma (netflix) with the gf after a quick double. (I was actually just waiting for her to finish her hearthstone game).



Anyways, PLO7 was what was happening. Battled the whole day pretty much and ended around break even. Got saved in a HU battle against a really bad fish, who never raised his 6 cards vs my 4 cards when in position. In fact, when he had BU, he limped 6 cards vs my 4 (if he just auto pots, I'm folding majority of my hands).

With rakeback, I'd estimate up near $3k-3.5k for the day.

Today's HU PLO4 Graph:



Almost $4/rake per hand in a HU match. Jesus. Luckily he was pretty soft/passive and I felt no sweat taking him on. I did get lucky in 1 hand for $1k though (rivered him with a FH).

PLO7 was alright. Lost a little bit playing $2.50/5, but generated decent amount of rake. Might play more tonight, but for now. I need to nap. Played all day with like 5 hours of sleep.

Played HU 2x tables for the entire night. Guy scooped $17k from me.

it's important to win rivers.

i was having a great night. then nope.

Today PLO4



Open sat for 5 hours. Just to get this. And game broke.

Won about $4-5k (forgot starting balance) at PLO7.

Busted a $1k MTT on pokerbro union, lately I've been playing quite poorly in those I feel. I was about 20 from money, but I decided to just spazz and stack off 20bb with KJo vs EP open. Fwiw, GTO would rather have you flat KJo, then fold, than Jam. I'll just pretend it was KJ suited and I bricked my flush draw and didnt commit suicide.

PLO7:

Today was a very stressful day for this game (but really, when isn't it stressful). Woke up in the morning, played against an unknown, and I immediately felt he wasn't a fish. After losing about 1 hour straight (EVERY HAND, EVERY POT), I was stuck like $7k. It was around then I got confirmation he was a live plo pro, but he was break even on the site after 1 month (so probably not the best, or variance got the best of him). During our HU, I didn't feel like I got destroyed, except I just cant contest against his nutted hands...

I then found a confirmed fish, played him, won approx $10k off him.

Hours later, I played another fish. Was winning $3k on him, then in a span of about 5 hands, he was up $3k on me and quit.

More hours later (after losing the MTT), the fish I won $10k off of in the morning, resat me. And in the span of 30-45 minutes, no more than an hour, I won another $6-7k off from my bottom him after he won a few stacks off me in the beginning.

Overall, negated a good chunk of the $17k loss from HU yesterday. I can breathe again.



As the picture shows, 6 cards generally dumpsters 4 cards. But man losing both boards felt rough there.
