Hey guys usually I fail my PG&Cs because I try to make it super intricate w/ colour coding and walls of text and youtube vids and 30 mins on thread is just too much dedication x) So I am going to try to make this a relaxed , short , and sweet thread.

My main game has always been mtts but enjoy playing cash on the side, this month after a nice sized downswing plus loaning out too much money I am wanting to take a bit of a break and take a nice shot at putting in volume into PLO and seeing what I can do. Starting at 5 PLO until I hit 20 buyins for 10PLO, 20 buyins for 25 PLO and so on. This thread will just be until the end of December then I will re-evaluate for 2017 on what my goals will be. (Likely a balance of MTT sessions and PLO, I also live in a city for really good live games so that might be an option.) For now, PLO fun.

I will track my daily graph + some interesting hands + rakeback I get with gold star ( last month I played 20k 10-PLO hands on the side and raked $300 total... yikes, so I feel I will get a decent amount of rakeback throughout this month.)

Will probably do updates towards night time when I am done sessions , hoping this will keep me a little more dedicated to getting in good volume and reviewing spots / focusing in sessions so I don't have to post cliff diving graphs

First day went really well, ran nice but didn't get a lot of volume in - Played some MTTs this afternoon while watching some streams instead of just plo all day , don't like multi tasking as hard if im 3 tabling zoom plo :P


Also got 50% of a 800 starscoin bar so ~$4 in rakeback

Some hands from today, nothing too interesting lots of people wanting to give me stacks today / running well in runouts.

        Hoping tommorow I can get in 2.5-3k hands, will probably do another day of 5PLO then 10 PLO since I don't see a point in staying @ 5 too long and I can always drop back down if needed.

        Time to chill and finish watching final table of deepstacks on twitch then maybe a galfond video before a night of counterstrike

        Daily chill song ~

        Day could have gone better :P , will play another day of 5PLO tommorow and see how it goes, Today it felt like every board runout was atrocious / lots of villains betting pot repping super thin in spots I felt they shouldn't have the nuts... and having the nuts Also the standard losing AAxx vs AAxxds preflop

        Didn't tilt today , probably because it's only 5 PLO and the money doesn't really bother me, I know if it was 10 or 25plo I'd prob be monkey tilting at the end. Excited to wake up and put in more volume tommorow. Will also dig through hands tommorow since it's pretty late atm and im exhausted



        got $10 bonus rakeback also

        Today was... interesting haha, I was not too focused today which resulted in some tilting ( I flatted JJT9 button vs ep open , BB 3b , utg flats, I accidentally snapfold with my hotkey while watching something and get to see JJ7 flop as table is fading in zoom, go back in HH they stacked off AA vs AA lol.) Also silly ~250bb deep pot where I burnt 70bbs on river.




        Better than a loss





        The hand I was semi frustrated with today, sort of standard I think besides river spew, stack sizes made it awkward being 250bb deep and I knew I was setting myself up to get free rolled on turn but I guess sometimes sets / flush draws call etc (river I just tilt w.e threw rest in, in hindsight I could save myself 70bb here lol. Maybe 1% of the time he folds missed fd / str8 lol

          Only gunna post that hand today since it's 1 am and I'm tired, and no point posting all the 60-40 losses x) Tommorow I am going to try not to sleep / play CS during prime time zoom pool hours since battling these euros at micros is soul drainingly boring ( I'm in an unproductive routine of just playing some mtts and watching streams in the morning then gaming then finally energized and motivated to grind when it's like 8pm )




          it's catchy don't judge

          Im back x) Took a couple days off + mainly been playing tournaments while catching up on some diff series / watching videos. Been really good at busting final few tables the last couple of months, always fun 8)

          Quick session of 10 PLO today, will be super happy if I make it to 25 PLO this month which I think is quite do-able. Going to take shots at ~$500 I believe and hopefully run like god
