Last night, I was 7-tabling PLO25 around midnight. I think I was down 2 buyins after 2 hours, playing I thought, a solid 22/10 game. There was this guy absolutely destroying the tables, and was running at 40/10. He was limping a ton, seeing lots of flops in position etc.

Afte doing some thinking, I realized this was a much more profitable strategy than a TAG game because people are so much more loose at PLO25 than at mid to higher stakes. And they are also much worse post flop, which means playing more hands in position is more profitable.

So anyways, I 7-tabled this afternoon on Full Tilt, and played 1093 hands, running at 8.07 bb/100 hands and winning about $44.10. I was actually up $100 twice earlier in the session, but I got sick coolered on one hand, and got involved in a massive 3 way pot where I was neutral EV, and prob should not have played it. I also ran below expectation I believe, and lost like every damn flip and 60/40, but oh well.. Because the games at PLO25 are not as aggressive as mid to higher stakes, there is no need to push small edges like 60/40s - people let you crush them with 75-100% edges, that you should simply wait for those higher EV spots.

Anyways, some big hands from today: First, the losers:

This was the sick cooler, where I flop the nut straight and a redraw to higher straights. He flops the nut straight with a back door flush draw, the draw he picks up on the turn. He played this hand so bad..... flop min raise makes no sense except to induce another raise, which he flat calls and doesn't shove the turn wen he hits his redraw..... I don't think I can fold on the river because his hand looks like a set so much to me, and sometimes flushes, but w/e debatable. Could be spew.

This is prob marginal at best, and prob -ev in the long term, preflop that is. Postflop is standard, and WOW at the guy who won with no hand and no draw on the flop. Turns out he actually had decent equity... omaha is a sick game.

And now the winners:

Standard.

I think villain played this pretty poor. Either he is crushed by a higher set, or i have decent equity with a combo draw type hand. He has to be praying I am bad enough to go broke with J9 for just 2 pair here....

Fish drawing to the non-nuts.... bad idea in omaha

I guess he put me on top set? lolololol.

Guess villain put me on a bare flush draw bluff...

Anyways, very happy with my play today. I think I only misplayed the 3-way hand. If I start running good, I think I will rake in some sick sick days.

GL at the tables ppl.
