I'm trying to figure out spins because apparently PLO didn't have enough variance for me. My main problem right now is that in the small blind three handed I'm lost for some reason. Probably because in soft PLO games you can fold every remotely marginal sb so life is easier. If it folds or limps to me early in a spin I kinda want to forget the whole thing and go back to chess.
I'm not getting crushed or anything through a few hundred games. I win every flip and suck out with alarming regularity, so maybe I should just never fold and hope I'm the guy that runs hot forever.
Some basic, probably standard boring hands I flagged for some reason that made sense at the time:
