There is no need for a new thread but I will give super short cliff notes for everyone new in here:

The Omaha Challenge: From PLO2 to ?
So about a week ago, I decided to do what I should have done back in '11 or '12 and get more serious about PLO. I did very little preparation before I jumped on the tables, mainly just rereading parts of SlowHabits PLO book. Besides that, I just went with what I remembered about playing PLO after all those years.
I played only reg tables, mostly four-tabling, and made a ton of mistakes (as expected). But I ran super well in AIEV, although that's obv never the whole story:
So nothing to really brag about but the results will count towards the overall progress. And for future reference, here are my stats over that super teeny sample size. Obv they are far from good/optimal / GTO (lol):
Anyway, I watched the "PLO Lunch Pad" over the last few days. I am semi-satisfied with the course but that's besides the point. I watched all the theory videos (and will rewatch them in the future) and most of the PLO10 Live & Explains videos. I will save the rest of the live session videos for the future because I do not think that they are super beneficial for me right now. With that being said, I am hopefully a bit better prepared for PLO moving forward.
Building a bankroll is not the real concern of this experiment since I am super over-rolled for PLO2 (450 BI) and already somewhat comfortably rolled to play even PLO10. So it's way more about improving my PLO skills.
With that in mind, here is my plan for moving up/down, at least for the time being:
1) Play at least 20k hands at any given level with a positive EV win Rate,
2) Take a 10BI shot at the next level,
3) if the shot is unsuccessful, move down and start with 1) again.
Besides that, I will set myself some guidelines for this challenge:
1) Only reg tables
2) Table selection
3) Limit sessions to 90min
4) At least 15min breaks between sessions
5) Daily Stop Loss of 5BI
Another point of emphasis is my need to convert all those Cash Game $ (C$) I got from the leaderboard grind into actual $. I have already converted about 100€ into actual cash but have another ~708€ to go. So even if this challenge does not work out as well, I will have at least a somewhat decent BR for other formats.
This post is already way too long as it is, so I will post my June goals in a new post later today.
