I would have folded. I thought a good portion of his range is flushes, and it looks like I have a flush draw if he doesn't-- so I wouldn't expect him to just jam it on a diamond.

you seem to be travelling a lot too. id Love to here some nice stories from your travelling experience!
What made you progress most in PLO? Any reads or videos worth mentioning?
Hope you run hot at plo100!
I want to play online until June. I'll be going to WSOP in June to grind the PLO cash games.
Right now I'm more busto than I've ever been as a result of making no money and living lavishly in Whistler. Pretty sure $14-16k in my poker bankroll. So, risk of ruin is in the double digit territory for the first time in my "career".
I think most of my progress has been made on the felt. I seem to learn best by experimenting/practice. I think studying is important for anyone, but I think for me I'm best off spending 70-80% of my time playing. I'd recommend magicninja's series crossfire. Good information and entertaining.
Okay, I'll include more travel related stuff.

What I've noticed in a lot of your hands though is that you tend to want to stack off really light whenever you've committed any chips post in a 3bet pot. The Q678 is a prime example, I think pre is neither here nor there in general, it's probably a bit loose tbh but not criminally so. The issue is you need to be super confident post if you're going to open thEse sort of hands. I think the donk is good actually but would just fold when the BB bombs it. Gonna be completely crushed by his range most of the time and at best flipping, seems unnecessary. Anyway glgl, hope you continue your success
Yeah I've seen you responding a bunch in SSPLO lately. The donk is good imo too. I also think its a fold once BB jams. I got in my head when SB jammed he could be wider here because its such an awesome spot to jam.. but hes just going to be playing his hand and only jamming with ~nuts here. When he jams it in I need 36%+ 3 ways to call.. I don't have it.

I dont have enough, and I have to worry about a player behind, so its a clear fold. Basically burnt 4-10% on $120
Travel Stuff:
I'm planning a Banff trip soon. For those who suck at geography, Banff is a small city in the mountains in Alberta(Canada). Aside from being beautiful, there are plenty of new ski resorts for me to discover, which is awesome.
I have accommodation locked up for Banff. I had a couchsurfer from Banff stay at my place for a few days last week. She was fun/awesome/hot and invited me to crash her place for a few days.. An offer I can't refuse
As of now I'm passively searching craigslist/kijiji for car pools. Will book a bus if I can't find a carpool.
Poker Stuff:
Way behind monthly volume goals. I want to try and bang out 15k hands in 6 days and reach my monthly goal. The bar is pretty high. ~2.8k hands/day translates to ~5-6hours. Huge snowstorm coming, will have to ski at least one day. I'd bet 4:1 against me getting 45k hands this month :\
