Where do you plan on playing?

I always try and play at bway, the action is insanely good compared to the other places I've played in bham


Began @ 7 playing the £1-2 holdem bought in for £400 with my name on the PLO list, got a seat and transferred over buying in for £200. Floor then told me that I 'couldn't take money off of the table' so had to lump the entire £400 on.

Completely disagree with this rule for transferring between PLO and NLHE tables due to the game being completely different and often having separate player pools. I completely agree that it should be the case when transferring say from say one NLHE table to a different one to prevent hitting and running.

Managed to run my £400 up to £650~ then got it all in pre with AAJ5ss vs AKKxds and 4568ds for a pot that I think was closer to £1.5k than £1k was hard to tell with the side pot. Bway don't let you run it twice (one of the villains didn't want to anyway) so the board ran out giving the short stacker with AKKxds a flush for the main pot and the 4568ds villain scooped the £600~ side pot with a straight.

Chips: ( although not impressive considering I was in for most of it )



I consider myself a PLO fish. However, a nimble fish can still navigate it's way to outwit the whales at the table. There's still huge value for people who consider themselves weak omaha players in these live games simply due to positional knowledge and pot control. For example I lost another £1k pot later on in the session where I flopped the nuts w/ no redraw otb vs a whale. Managed to pot it two streets knowing that he wouldn't raise unless he also has the nuts, and then when the board pairs otr just check behind to lose to the nut boat. These types of players are what make me certain that it's +ev for even a terribad PLO player like myself to play.

Back to online today anyway so will post results soon. May venture out to the live felt once again as is almost always the case once I get a sniff of the value I'm missing out on it's hard to resist!

bladdy hell



had KK got it in vs AA lost. had AA got it in vs whale lost.

snap quit the session gona go play live some and hope to run better there

Played live and after a swingy session of PLO where i managed to end a little up but basically breakeven went to play the 1-2 where I ran pretty bad. Had one interesting hand vs the only guy at the table who had me covered (£1k+) who seemed up to this point to know what he was doing.

Tl;dr of the hand I open JT barrel flop pick up gutter ott and bet river when it comes in to give me the nut straight, and he jams on me for around £500 more. Board was 2d 3x 7x 9d 8d so river card brought in the bdfd I tanked for a while and folded. He showed the Ad and mucked. About 5 minutes later he asked me 'would you have called if i had made it £350 total?' which pretty much assured me that I made a good fold. He later said he had A5dd which is totally believable due to the fact I don't really view him as capable of running a bluff like that. He was semi scared money but it was one of my first hands at the table so had no info


PLO restarted and ended up getting stacked when I had nut wrap and nfd vs naked second set. Not sure if I played it well or not. It was 6 cards and I plugged it into ProPokerTools Odds Oracle as best I could remember his hand and it is 60/40 in his favour :S

He bet £50 otf £180 ott and i potted all in for around £500 total. When i was working out at the table if I should call or not I was putting him on top set as it was a 3bet pot. Any PLO people know what's best here? River paired up giving him quads so maybe I should just call ott? idk I think w/ the pot being £180 already and only having £500 left to a pot of £1300~ when all the money is in so effective calling £500 to win £1300 so need 40%~ equity I think my play is ok, just sucks when I miss haha

lack of chip porn due to lack of chips, sigh!

Good luck bud, I play a lot live down in London, let us know if you're ever in town!

I've played london a bit, not much tho as is an effort to get/be there.


Day 6 of 100nlz and variance is hitting me kinda hard I think. had KK v AA 3 times in 1.3k hands. Also had QQ v slowplayed AA managed to lose the minimum. Then i lost a bunch of flips. So nothing interesting to even talk about tbh



Gona go play live again. Considered playing the SM, idk, I hate mtt's with a passion and I'd rather put the $215 towards something else like resources that would improve my cash game play. gl every1 playing tho!

1.05 mill to 1st. That's solid!

Think I played with you once when you were drunk at Broadway.

hahaha


yeah very possible I think out of the 10 times I've played at broadway 2-3 of them were after nights out. Unlikely I'll remember you, do you play there on a daily basis?

That fish is busto

haha I will be busto too if i keep playing PLO at higher stakes than I'm probably rolled for! I can't keep away now I still love NLHE online but playing it live is so slow...: ( PLO is the way forward! Slowly getting better making fewer and smaller mistakes. Started off being too agrro then too weak tight and now I'm watching RIO vids on 4 card and selecting that when it's my button.

Chip porn from last night



Span £200 up to £1k~ ( first pic ) then had Ah2h3hAxJxTx UTG raises I flat whale flats solid reg otb raises the pot sb flat UTG flat I repot to around £100 whale flats reg flats sb fold UTG fold.

Pot: £ 350~

Board Kh Qh 2x

I bet the pot whale folds reg repots for around £300 more I call

Pot: £1500~ Board runs out 3x 8x


Reg shows AKQJTX for two pair and scoops


Seems to be a recurring theme that I win a lot of pots that are £600-800 against the fish/whales at the table but when it comes to reg on reg and the pots get huge as they've bought in for the max and have chipped up I always seem to lose. I think I played the hand correctly, don't think there's another way to play it although if somebody thinks there is I'd be happy to listen/learn as I am genuinely a PLO fish atm lol. Just running bad in every pot over £1k

Back to the online grind have a coaching session today so should help my 100nlz results. Pretty sure it's just variance what I've run into so far but if not I'm sure he will catch it!

I play bway cash aswell, whats your name if you don't mind saying?

Too many boardway cash grinders ITT.

Chris

this haha although I am yet to meet any irl despite around 10 people introducing/saying they play there on the daily!

Why do people say Broadway is the easiest haha? There is like 100 grinders there compared to Gala which has like 2 max.

Broadway* have to correct myself as it is too late to edit.

Every time I have been Gala everyone just buys in for about £20-80 at 1/2, could have just been bad timing though I haven't been often.

More money = more action = more fish = more regs

A lot of the people who play there regularly who would classify themselves as 'regs' are more regfish than good players, although there are defo some great players too. Just have to figure out who is what!

So who do you think is better than you at broadway?

pretty awkward question considering a lot of people who play there have posted on/read this thread...

I think on the whole I have an edge on the field, which is why I will continue to play there, but at the same time I acknowledge the fact that there are good regs who play there who may very well have an edge on me, it's hard to tell over such a small sample...

Only awkward if he asked who you are better than, but saying who is better than you is complimenting them.

that....is very true!


I did that thing where you read something without actually reading it.

I only know the names of the people on the PLO game as they are more 'friendly' or talkative. The people on the PLO game i regard as better than me are Andy, Darren and James. I think there's a guy called Ali who is really nice guy and a regular there but kinda value in the game. Not so much as the other people in the game but I think I have an edge just because I play a bit tighter when I put the money in.

As for the NLHE I only know the name of one guy called 'H' and I've played with him twice. Both times he was tilting his face off and terrible. There are defo some good players in the 1-2 game I'm sure

You should come down today and meet the fellow grinders xD

at broadway? or a home game? I joined the aston poker society or w/e i've seen some adverts for home games i'd prolly be interested but might be a bit awk at first since every1 else would know each other :P we could call get blind drunk and play that'd be fun!

Broadway! But yeh lets get a home game going. Someone itt start one!
