Played first session of 5NL yesterday since last weekends horrible self destruction. Won just over 2 buy ins, decided to play 4 tables and instead of being tight agressive im opening a ton more, played something like a 29/26. Being super agro to see what good it does, im prepared to play around a bit to see if I can just become a better player and develop a better style.

First post in this thread - Masq, no-one is interested in PLO apart from you. Please dont post hands and if you must, keep it to 1 hand, there's a good chap.

Dont limp pre. Raise or fold.

w00t! I went for a short session this afternoon, tables are ridiculously soft it seemed and I was running well too. Except for one multi-way pot where I got it in 3ways and ended up just winning my money back. Had a few uncomfortable spots but managed to end up winning just over 5 buy-ins in 400 hands. I ran so hot.

I deliberated 3betting pre-flop but I don't do so well at times with it. I just called in position and flop was pretty huge with overpair, NFD+backdoor flush draw+straight draw so I got it in with 46% equity.

ps....if you weren't kidding chad. GTFO, there are people interested in PLO if you've looked through this thread, people have contacted me about it and i've been around these parts a lot longer to not pay attention to someone who puts one post in a thread and tells me what to do. If you don't like, put me on ignore I don't care. (If you were kidding then disregard the above.)

At this level (super uNL) people only 4 or 5 bet shove KK+

At this level (super uNL) people only 4 or 5 bet shove KK+ in my experience. do a filter on HEM/PT3 and check yourself.

If you are playing well enough to go from -40 to -7, you are playing well enough to go from 0 - 33. I dont know your sample size but I think probably just variance as you *must* be playing well buddy.

Bet flop, c/f turn.

At the start of the session, what level were you playing? Seems a lot higher then 10NL with the 50-100$ swing.

I would bet pot on flop, turn and river.

I know the feeling bud. Drop down to 2NL and feel good about yourself again.

You know because of how stars is dealt, if you hadnt have folded, the flop would hav ebeen dealt differently - right?

I was $30 down in 2NL yesterday to beats mate what is that? 1500BB? took a break, changed nothing and fought back to "just" 400BB down - considered this to be decent. Variance can do a LOT of damage. If you cant stand it, play lower.

100 BI @ 5NL is $1250 though, right?

Just because you can affor dto play 10NL, oesnt mean you are good enough for it. Have you beaten 2NL and 5NL first? If not, you are just burning $ mate.

Bet bigger on flop, pot turn, pot river.

Drop down to 5NL (or 2NL) and go again

Im assued that cash its where its at - lowest variance. Start at 2NL and work your way up!

I have a lot of sessions where I start off losing 3-5 BI's then gaining it back - why cant I start off winning? Poker is DERP!

reraise flop, deffo reraise turn

Dont play hypers. They are no better than roulette. Bet red red black red !

Too right mate, we dont care. GL though !

3bet to 45c pre, bet pot on flop.

Which site do you play? Stars stars HU at $50 so you;d have to be crazy playing that with only $78 BR

bet flop and start building a pot.

No kidding. every time you post its like 4-8 hands of PLO. isnt there a PLO thread? isnt it standard to post 1 or 2 hands at the most regardless of thread?

don;t get me wrong, i want you to win, I just feel like you are posting to a) the wrong thread and b) too many hands where nothing interesting happens, you either play bad and lose or they do and you win.
