I started learning plo and playing for fun and now I can't stop playing ****ing zoom whenever I get on the computer, so I need to learn my ass off and keep track of it or I'll be taking my credit cards down with me.

Everytime I'm not playing



I'm addicted after playing 6000 hands and I need to keep playing and climbing the stakes. To do that things are going to need alot of work, starting with my multi tabling skills. Multi tabling skills are ground zero, I'm on 1 zoom table and time banking and others are on 4, how the ****? Poker skills are ground zero too but this is all a good starting point, I can only improve. Bankroll is enough to get me started at PLO10.

Goals by the end of the year
[ ] Escape the micros
[ ] Develop a strong mental game
[ ] PLO200
[ ] Cashout for a Laptop
[ ] 4 table
[ ] PLO500
[ ] Read 10 books
[ ] Retire
[ ] Win a plo tournament
[ ] Exercising 3x a week

any of these

Goals by the end of the month
[ ] 2 table zoom with ease
[ ] Review 10 hands
[ ] Exercise 4x
[ ] Learn what my hud means
[ ] Play 15k hands



First 6k hands this month at plo2, 5, and only 650 hands at 10

Most hands played in a session is 502
[ ] play double

Spent some time before my session putting together a custom hud and playing around with it in game, a better idea than using a preset because it meant I had to learn what it did before it went on my hud.

Played a small session because building a hud took up so much time. Really focusing on quality > quantity at the tables and sharpening my mental game before I add more tables.

I felt confident with the game that I brought to the tables today even when losing some, I was on top and zoned in and I hope I can get back to that mindset tomorrow. If a new episode of vikings hadn't just hit prime I might have dug out of it and hit my first 1k hands in a day.

Gl! will follow

Punished today for not completing goals



March goals
[ ] 30,000 hands
[ ] Exercise 15 days
[ ] Study 20 hours total
[ ] No tournaments

18bb/100 rake



March hasn't started out well but whatever, can't let these things bring you down or you'll never get back up!

Things to work on
-3 bets
-4 bet range for wide 3 bettors
-Flatting from the SB
-Opening from SB
-Leading from the SB
-2 tabling zoom

I'm playing 34/19/5 and see regs at higher stakes are 3 betting anywhere from 8-12% but idk how so improving my 3bet % is going to be my main focus this week. It ties in nicely with working on my SB game aswell.

Most of my volume is from 1 zoom + 1 normal table or very rarely 2 zoom tables but I feel very -ev when action is happening on 2 tables at once. I think I will start putting in 2-3 hours a week of just 2-3 tabling plo2 zoom after my main session when I'm more fatigued. Dno, will see. Think it's the only way to improve on it in the most +ev way.

I hope to start getting into a better routine of playing, studying, and logging soon as I feel they are all of equal importance when it comes to developing as a poker player.

Win

My only one this month

My redline wants war!

Actively thinking about spots to 3 bet helped alot, stayed around 10% throughout my session. Something to think about going into future sessions.

Something which I haven't put much thought into is bankroll management. 50BI doesn't seem to be enough but with the rake at the micros I think 50BI is too much and I will spend far too long grinding 50BI for the next limit. A smart-aggressive approach is talking to me right now but I will look into once I have my current studies out of the way.

I probably won't be hitting 30k hands this month

Going to take a shot at PLO10 and hope for some run gewd!

Won some in hu hypers, lost that some + some more in 2-7 triple draw.

I'm going stop trying to put in volume and just play in my fun zone I focus on the wrong things when I have volume on my mind and just click buttons. It's inevitable I will add more tables as I get bored with 1 or adapt to the zoooooom, but for now 1 zoom and the occasional hyper, mtt or reg table keeps me in my enjoyment mode. 2 zoom tables and focusing on trying to play more volume adds a certain pressure that I don't like atm.

Subbed,good luck!

Any idea how much is the rake at 5z/10z PLO?

Thanks for the subs!

I don't have a huge sample right now it's about 18bb/100 at plo5, plo10 I'd imagine is close to the same from my limited sample. I think the limits are absolutely crushable from what i've seen so far though. It's not uncommon to be in a hand where players fast fold postflop, donk full pot in 3b pots and fold to a raise, and there are a huge amount of positionally unaware 10/5/0 - 20/10/1 super nits who show up with really weak preflop hands at showdown way too often

Villain 3bet 1%

I acted too fast on the turn and think I should barrel turn and river against this guy. As played I don't think villain folds to a bet on the river and idk if a c/r looks credible in this spot since I would bet river with KJ and spades didn't get there..

I murdered this one and then quit

Villain had a high fold BB to SB steal.

idk how I should play this. Turning my hand into a bluff with the 66 blockers seems like it would never work at plo5, calling puts me in an awkward spot on the river when he bets.. idk maybe I didn't murder this as badly as I thought I did, I only lose to 84, 88, 82, 86 and the last 2 are unlikely.

Maybe I should just jam turn or peel and fold river or turn my hand into a bluff catcher on the turn and play c/c c/c.. Now I think I'm being results orientated but I like c/c turn c/c river line




help

Critiques welcome

Haven't played much since my last update but I'm feeling very confident in my game. Studying alot and playing small sessions to focus on applying the things I have learned.

I'm enjoying playing the BB and abusing ranges.



and I almost binked the $5.50 omania, came 3rd!
