Hi there 2+2 members. I am new to the forum and i am not entirely sure if thats the right place to put this, but i guess it is ok.
I play as Kepto91 at Pokerstars 25 Years old from Austria and I am a recreational player, trying to climb up the PLO Latter starting at PLO 5 Zoom. I am playing PLO for nearly 3 weeks now and i am trying to put in a lot of volume in order to succeed. I am overall playing poker for 2 years now, but never had great success. This time tho, i am trying to push things around. As you can see in the graph below i am still struggling to turn a profit at this limit, although i am at least a break-even player it seems, so a little bit of rakeback boosts my Roll here and there. Any advice at these stakes will be very welcome I will also defenitely keep you guys updated with this challenge. The number one reason i do this, is to stay myself motivated and not give up. Here is the graph as promised above, 20 days in:

Hi Guys, thank you for the support, really appreciate it. Unfortunately had a soul-crushing session yesterday, never ran so bad in my life. Just 11 buy ins down. Makes me a bit nervous cause i now have only 15 buy ins left to play with, but hopefully i can turn things around today. Would suck to reload but i will definitely not give up on this. Updated graph here:
Running close to 10 buy-ins under EV now

This board doesnt hit his UTG range, and with the fact that you block some(but not that relevant) FH combos its an easy call

Good luck

both hands are coolers, nothing you can do
In the first one just bet pot on flop
Second hand you should 3b this preflop

Alright, I am not dead yet
Today i had to check several times if i am broke already, but then i was able to turn things around a bit. Now back to 15 Buy-Ins. Hopefully the trend continues and i am able to shot that green line through the roof somehow

gl on the tables id recommend pasting hands from holdem manager to 2+2 format, you'll get more feedback that way.

Find the hand -> view -> click the paste icon and select 2+2

Hey Guys. Its been a while since i updated here. Reason is i give up PLO for some reasons. I just see myself ever making a solid living here due to the high variance. Next thing is, i just can`t see myself ever beating the rake here. It just seems super astronomical, especially with the new rakeback system stars lauched.
But no worries. I start a new thread, were i play NLHE exclusively, starting at NL 2, because i never want to deposit again and i give myself a big enough edge there to not go broke.
See you guys at the new thread
