Well you're playing higher than me so maybe it's a little different. But it's my main game, started at PLO2 and been grinding it up with very generous BRM and currently at PLO10 - but feel i've really improved lately. Just I tilted a little today which put me back a little. I'll send you an article on the basics to start.

The challenge went to pot for the day so HORSE seemed like a good idea

wtf is this ****?

Anyone want to bet a friendly $20 on the Durrrrr/Jungleman challenge? I want Toms side. I'm looking at Masq since I know he rails the HS stakes games but he isn't game offers open to anyone

hmm....only thing is how long it will take? I can't be bothered to think about it if it's going to take a year and I might even forget. Also I hate gambling

I take it you're offering evens? I'll have a think whether I want to bet on it, if someone else wants to take you up on it before I decide they're more than welcome to take you up on it.

booked

Want an escrow?

Word.

im mainly playing higher because im a degen that and my BR can handle it and iv a bonus to clear. Maybe when i get set up with HEM and play a bit more we can do a few session reviews.

You got my PM though? That's worth a look over to get you started/add to your knowledge.

I played a hand poorly and won a 442bb pot well the HH looks poor but i had a read on one of the players that makes it ok. Felt awesome at the time using my read. But in hindsight i could of played it better

yea i noticed it straight after i posted that lol seems like a good link. thanks for that

played some fun hands today

Also I used my wildcard in fantasy football.. wasn't going very well so I had to take drastic action. Hopefully I haven't made any huge errors.

I don't understand

Hand 2 you're doing as a bluff, right?

I've decided I kind of don't understand both hands and concluded there's some big donks on Party

h1:
when they bet river they rarely have a very strong hand like Jx+ since they bet the turn pretty much always. stuff like A high/some weak pair has showdown value and is likely to try to check it down. they could be vbetting like 99 but its pretty unlikely, especially with this betsizing (thin bets are likely to be smaller, this sizing polarises)

h2:
I expect them to have QT or something on the river a ton. they very rarely have a flush or a straight.
I can have straights/flushes really easily so i ship to make them fold 2 pair/TT


re donks, both hands are vs regs but villain not betting turn in h1 is pretty bad (also I wouldn't 3b or flat 4b)

Any particular reason for the 4bet pre-flop with K4o or is it a range balancing thing?

i have a blocker to AK/KK and dont have a hand i want to flat with + gameflow

nice hands, also IIRC you still have another wildcard to use so its not all bad.

Thanks for the explanation, still looks kinda crazy to me. Fortunately I don't have to worry about this yet.

I'm pretty sure Stars is trying very hard to keep us limit players off the NL tables.

Technically I will enrol at the chemistry department at University College London so I think it will be chemistry. The project I will be working on is a interdisciplinary project in chemistry and biology. My MSc was in Pharmaceutical Sciences.

yes, if only I knew what measurement science was. They should have very good facilities for the project I'm doing though.

Here is the said HH that i won yesterday. [brag:got HEM Omaha, beat: I still suck lol]

I am well aware that i played it like a fish. But villain was a spew monkey, i knew he was capable of going nuts on the turn. thats my excuse anyway. it is still horrible but ill take it

Free cards are the enemy in PLO especially on draw heavy boards. You know you should be betting the flop, only way to build the pot is start betting early and get the draws to start putting in money.

I guess it's a steal and 4-handed to boot, but that's a pretty ****ty Omaha hand, IMO.
