no need to get defensive, didnt mean to sound like a dick and come at ur game, jus thought that someone who tries to improve their game like u obv do, should look at the leaks, and maybe some outside factors- table number, fr/short handed, etc, before claiming that there is a big difference between limits 50 and 25 max,

i dont agree with the 4 reg i fish , 4 fish 1 reg argument

-- anothre thing that is good about lowering limits, is is u use pto, u can see difference of ur play in limits, might be more agg at one , etc. again didnt mean to call out, if i seemed like i did

no problem, just saying how i see it. ive always found the 50games a bit tougher than both 25 and 100

sure there is psychology involved, but today i went to play like 700hands at 25 after half a year and geez, people call with anything on the river...not saying 50games are tough, saying that 25 are ridiculously soft

Finally some good fortunes on 50/1 and 1/2 where full houses and AA held up for most of the day. 700 profit helped.

screw u tilt

the only thing i hate bout tilt, is when playing someone normally agg knows ur on tilt, so now he limp check calls everything ,. so u can dig ur own holes,

and boy do i.. happy i only titled a hour tho lol

I 2-tabled 25 today for 6 hours.

Total number of preflop 3-bets (all players): 0
Total number of check-raises: 1

One guy at my table had stats 7/0 over a large sample.

I made a profit by minraising every time it was folded to me, and cbetting 100% of the rare times that we saw a flop. Almost never had a hand go to the turn.

I think my head is going to implode.

actually that's not completely accurate, one time there was an AAxx vs AAxx preflop stackoff.

maniacs!

not sure, who played this worst ... well, 2nd worst

How many times did you guys go to High Stakes PL Omaha forum unintentionally? I sure did enough times

First I thought the O8 board had disappeared because I don't read the board names I just autopilot to the Other Poker Omaha/8 board. After scrolling down to around the Internet Poker form 3 times, I realized something was wrong. Eventually I realized they changed the order of the Other Poker categories and added a new category.

This reminds me of when ABC, CBS and FOX all changed channel numbers when I was a kid, messed me up for years. ABC was 3, but then it turned to 15, CBS was 10 but then turned to 5, and FOX was 15, but then turned to 10. Ah the nightmares.

Looks like I'll be visiting the PLO high stake board very frequently from here on out.

I played with Don Cheadle briefly the other day at the 1/2 PLO8 tables on Full Tilt. I hope he and other celebrities return and bring some attention to the PLO8 games. He was funny too.

sangaman: don, i didn't know you played this game
sangaman: did you grow your hair out?
Don Cheadle: little bit
sangaman: it's a good look
Don Cheadle: ty

His avatar, of course, was the black afro disco guy.

He can't be worse than Morris Chestnut. That guy limp folds more than anyone I've ever seen.

But yeah, any Red name sitting can only be a good thing.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Nifty avatar!

Beep. Beep.

villian is an aggrotard and a habitual c-bettor so i checked the flop expecting him to fire at it. i didnt plan on raising the flop though since im not gonna get any action anyway except from other 23s.. any comments on my play?

I have 27 bucks on UB that I can't withdraw (50 min) or transfer (35 min) to my AP account with rakeback. Also the 45 remaining of the $50 bonus I had for over a year finally got expired. So I have little reason to stay on UB.

Should I sit with my whole stack at 0.10/0.25 PLO8 or 0.25/0.50 PLO8? Or should I just play $5 or $10 sngs until I'm broke?

Any other suggestions for my twenty seven untouchable dollars?

sweet so i log into FTP today, they got a new cool looking lobby and i get a 500$ bonus!! its like saying , "hey sorry you ran 1k under EV last night over 2k hands..."

almost, lol

yeah ive been seeing Mike Swick from UFC playing a bit of NLO8 .5/1 and some O8 mtts, pretty weird to think of badass fighters playing the game of nits lol

you must play more than me - i only got a $200 bonus

Yeah Mike was at WSOP playing in the 5-5 plo8 cash games a ton. Seemed like a really nice guy.

I cant win a hand, ever. That is all.

$100plo8 you have 27 blinds!!11
