Broke and hoping to grind up a bankroll - Page 4 - Small Stakes Pot Limit Omaha

I'll pass on 100PLO... I might jump up to PLO100 if I get down to like $200. For now, I'll just play some 25PLO and hope for some run good. 50 buy ins is probably 'proper' bankroll management with cash outs and run it twice to reduce variance.

Way too tired, playing spewy. Got lucky in a big pot which was a nice bankroll booster. I'm going to drop down to 10PLO and go for the first-place leaderboard prize of $90.

Running good at 10PLO. Currently on $650. Any advice on when I should be shot taking 25PLO? Should I try and stick to 100 buy ins with the knowledge I can still move up the stakes fairly fast if I continue putting in volume. I've got nothing else in my life to be doing so that'll definitely be happening...

I'm never running it twice anymore at 10PLO. I think I'm rolled enough where I don't really care about variance. I like to get deep stacked and get to feed my gambling urges a little more with a single runout.

Just ran my roll up to $1.1k playing 25PLO. Ran so good, I'm going to finish up the day at 10PLO just for the leaderboard prize then I'm going to start playing 25PLO regularly as of tomorrow

Set an absolute minimum amount of buy ins before you drop back to $10 bro, id suggest 80, so if your roll drops below $800 Insta drop down back to $10.

I suspect you will be surprised how chill it feels moving down but being super rolled for the stake.

And remember there’s no rule that says you must be winning before you are allowed to take a break for the day. Plenty of people go busto trying to “at least” get even for the day.

Run good.

Ps; one of those screens shows your real username, maybe get a mod to remove it.

PPS; cash out a Hundy bro and put it to one side.

I went busto a couple of times at the start of the thread for that very reason, I wanted to be up or at least even on a downswing so jumped-up stakes to recoup.

Also, thanks for pointing out that I outed my screen name, if a mod sees this can you delete the picture, it's on page 2.

Re-re-upload, my bad. Guess I saved the hand twice. Here's another hand at PLO100. Ran good and am back at $1.2k. Going to stop for a bit and then go back to 25PLO

No idea what he was doing but I'm not complaining. I was even mature and agreed to run it 3 times!

Currently shot taking some 50PLO - probably a bad idea but I'm in the mood to gamble. Won a nice pot, got pretty lucky considering the hands I was up against.

Decided to stop playing 50PLO, I'm just being reckless for no reason other than to feed my gambling addiction. Ran really well, am on $1,650. Going to go back to 25PLO and grind it out.

Please slow down. 25 is a good spot for you atm based on recent hands. Adjust to it emotionally. Your run good can’t last but your BR can.

Will do, thanks for the advice. I know I was playing terribly, was just on monkey tilt. I'll stick to 25PLO for now.

Do you think the play was good? If so explain.

Do you think shot taking w 30BI is good?

On the second point, I think yes if a player believes they have a skill edge, will be able to move down if they lose the shot amount (whatever # of buy ins they decided), and they are in the emotionally right mind frame to be objective about their game. I think you aren’t ready for those reasons.

I also agree that shot taking with 30BI is a terrible idea, especially since I'm prone to tilt and don't have the discipline to move down in stakes if things don't go right. Hence the shot at 100PLO where I was playing any 4 cards, just trying to get it in in the hopes of getting back to $1k+.
