For the past 2 weeks, I began grinding PLO25 playing a very TAG 20/8 style, and won at 6 bb/100 hands for about 14k hands, winning 16 buyins. Anyways, last night I felt sick bored with the grind, and started questioning what was the point of grinding this stupid 6bb/100 hands, bla bla and tilted away 14 buyins to total donks (JWC can attest to my awful play last night).

This morning I woke up and started asking myself, how the HELL does JackInDaCrak win at this damn game. I think he's moved up to PLO50 now, but when he was playing PLO25 the past few months, I felt he was one of, if not the best PLO25 regular on Full Tilt. I was always amazed at how he could play like 50/32 and crush everyone at the table.

So I started looking at some of his hands in my database, as well as another 40/20ish regular who was crushing. And I started to think to myself about the merits of playing more LAG, raising limpers, betting a ton more flops, playing big draws more aggressively in position, playing a ton more pots in position, etc. And I decided to do an experiment, and see if I could push myself to be more LAG.

After 1755 hands tonight 6-tabling the PLO25 games, I won $166.40 at a rate of 18.96 bb/100. I ran at 34.6/18.9/1.72. I know small sample tho, but def. my play is much better than when I was TAGing it up....

Not quite the 50/30 of Jack, but feels so good to finally understand how to play this game.

I remember reading some of the 2+2 threads and I said this guy should fold like Axxx single suited preflop on the BTN, and I think it was Wazz who said that any suited Axxx was good enough to raise on the BTN. And I was like wtf, and never understood why....

And tonight I was raising like any limper with Axxx single suited....

Holy crap apologies this was long, but after the low of blowing 14 buyins last night and then having this revelation today, it feels so sick good.
Cheers!

Bah humbug. I'm down about 40 buy-ins of equity since June 1st; about 36,000 hands. While I'm still up over that period before bonuses and whatnot, I should be up a hell of a lot more. I kind of figured I was running pretty poorly, but I didn't think it was that bad! Guess it's a good thing I haven't tried to take any extended shots at finally moving back up...

Thanks, guys. I knew I was still up, which is why I was so surprised at the results of the luck graph.

The last couple of days have been pretty decent, but I'm still having a ton of trouble getting in the amount of hands I need to. I'm a terrible grinder.

yay today was fun loloololo =(

to be fair, i didn`t play great, so i def. could have lost less.... and def. got into a few more high variance spots that normal.

despite that, I feel good about my game, and am going to take a 10 buyin shot at PLO50. I think not trying to move up and take some shots as ruined my focus for the game, and hopefully playing a bit higher will force me to play my A game at all times.
