Hey ,

i’m c_sterling & in the end of my 20s and as you will notice soon – english is not my first language! but maybe it’s getting better step by step with posting in this forum.
What am i doing in real life?
I am proudly married! and short time ago i got a masters degree. So now i am looking for a job, but i'm not under pressure.

About the poker thing:
I guess i play this game for about 9 years (good old pokerroom times), but never put in hours of studying and so there has never been a learning process besides learing by doing. Maybe that’s the reason why i got away from no limit hold‘em and played pot limit omaha for the last years and never made it up the limits.

So… what have i been doing in this plo-thing over the last 1,5 years during my master study?

plo2z
Spoiler:


plo5z
Spoiler:


plo10z
Spoiler:


plo25z
Spoiler:




so what are my goals with this blog?

- recording my process
- as fanbase… for you all ;-)
- getting some content advices from you (would be nice)
- getting up the limits to plo25z
- the normal procedure at the beginning of a blog ist o post daily, then weekly… and after some time there’s only a monthly recap. i hope i get to 2 to 3 posts a week.

main goal: having fun before the real work life with a real job starts!

Staring bankroll:


I'll be playing 2 plo2z & 4 plo5z tables :-)
- at 300$ i will go up to plo10z
i will post some hands of every session and you will tell me how to improve my game - sounds like a good plan or?

Maybe i make it, maybe not. But let’s have fun !

After a long time i started yesterday with playing on pokerstars and went on today.

Felt good to see all the players at plo2z & plo5z, who play there since ... ever .



If you wish seperate graphs for plo2z and plo5z - just tell me.
I created a new database, so the player stats will take some time to be meaningful.

But hey ... we already got 1460 Starscoin... so if necessary, we can fill it up a bit


I didn't wish to start with a downswing in this blog thing, but better now a downswing than at plo25 ;-)

hands - next time, the marking during playing didn't really work.

thank you :-)

after watching the stats and biggest hands of the last days I compared them with my normal stats of the last 300K hands...

The results are... i am too lag... sounds strange with a 24/16/5 style, but with my 16/10/1 I can constantly win at this limits. I can think about stats at the point i reach a higher limit ;-)

So...
lets start this diary project with a new database tomorrow and forget the last days - I guess that's the way you treat a diary!

So we restart tomorrow with plo2 and a br of 100$
plo5 with 150$
plo10 with 300$

get the party started again!

Kinda weird spot. He shouldn't have many JJ in his range unless he thinks you ch/pot flop wide there which I can't imagine you do. He shouldn't have many 33 given he opened from UTG or UTG+1. I'd call and see what happens OTR if you think he is capable of bluffing here. If he is quite tight then its prob a fold.

Thanks for your reply. I got it in on turn and was faced with jj - did not expect that. and i guess it is not the standard play at plo5.

why does the pt4 count this whole hand with all-in equity with 4,88% instead of over 40%? (the ev would look a little bit better )

today... i guess there will be no poker. tomorrow we go on with playing

have a nice day!
