I haven't made a blog post in a while, but to be fair, I haven't played too much these past two weeks. I am working full time this summer for May-Sept, and because I take the bus home, I don't get back from work until 6-7pm usually. Also, when I get home I am very exhausted, and I play terrible when i'm exhausted.
I also purchased a new laptop since the screen of my old one got busted. So i had to resintall poker tracker and ace HUD, and have tried out spadeeye, and may purchase it in the future - seems like a solid table selection program.
I have been playing a ton of PLO 25 the past few days, and won about 4-5 buyins the last 2 days playing a solid 20/10 style. Today I tried a more aggressive 30/12 style with more betting post flop in good situations, and the slightly higher aggression has paid off well so far. I think I played pretty close to optimal for my ability today (minus 2 pots where I prob should've folded but convinced myself villains were shoving less than sets, and was wrong both times).
In total this evening I won about ~$106 over 1143 hands, running about 18.68 bb/100 hands. Here are the biggest hands, starting with the losers:

The above two hands were massive beats, and against the same fish. In Hand 2, I am a 80% fav on the flop and 92% fav on the turn. In hand 1, I am a 75% fav on the turn, and we tie about 7% of the time. Such sick sick hands. If I had won those, I'd be up 8 buyins instead of 4... oh well, c'est la vie.

Yeah, this hand was pretty awful. I should've just b/f the turn smaller, but spazzed out a bit and convinced myself he picked up clubs on the turn or smtg lol. This was the only big pot I played awful tho.
And now some winners:

Villain was a fish, so this is pretty standard. I think betting the flop is fine, but his call of the raise on the flop and the turn shove is pretty atrocius. I am pretty much never bluffing in this spot.

The above hand is an example of the trouble you can find yourself in if you aren't drawing to the nuts... villain had fishy stats, but was also very passive. And I dind't believe a passive fish was leading out AKQx on the flop, so I shoved turn with 2nd nuts. His play on the flop is fine, but turn is pretty terrible.

Villain's play makes absolutely no sense... but i'm glad he was at my table.

A big mistake for beginning players is overvaluing middle or bottom sets in non 3-bet pots. This isn't like holdem where losing set over set is a cooler.... in omaha, losing set over set in a non 3-bet pot is a pretty big leak.

In this hand, I finally win a pot against the fish who gave me these 2 horrendous beats mentioned earlier. Again, the 2nd nuts are still the 2nd nuts..... another mistake new players make a ton in omaha.

Wow at going broke with a 6 high flush for 100bb....
Anyways, hope to continue playing well at PLO25...... prob not going to make my goal of moving up to PLO 50 due to my 40ish buyin downswing the past two months, but hopefully next month it'll happen.
I haven't watched some PLO videos in a while, think I might watch a brian t. one tonight.....
Anyways, GL at the tables everyone!
