I started taking poker seriously this month, I put in money on my GG account for enough for 20 or so buyins on PLO10. I have been learning preflop plays, watching videos and watching live streams. Although I'm obviously not the best I feel I understand some deep concepts why players do what they do, especially from watching veni and jnandez on YouTube. Somehow my graph just doesn't reflect I'm even a breakeven player. I play mainly just zoom tables

Reasons not to call it quits:

You haven't played a meaningful sample yet.
The rake on GG is pretty high, which of course affects your win rate/loss rate.
Fast fold games are usually tougher than regular tables.
PLO is high variance.

I suggest checking out BGQ and the PLO subforum for tips and ideas to get better. In any case, you should have better bankroll management. 20 BI is way too low.

I would consider buying a PLO course from somewhere. I know RIO has one for $150. Not sure if other sites have affordable options.
