Why the hell can't I beat PLO25?

0

Man this game is sooo frustrating. What am I doing wrong?

I understand I lose a ton of money spazzing out in random places and tilting when I run bad..... but I feel like my edge really isn't that great in this game, because so much of my play relies on running decent. Conversely, I don't need to run that great to do decently in holdem, since people miss the flop a ton, and don't continue the way they do in omaha.

Since getting my new laptop, I've played ~21k hands of PLO25 and am essentially a break even player. This disgusts me a ton, because I feel like I am a decent player and know the correct play in most spots, but due to all the variance, I am constantly questioning my play and my style. It's just so sick.

Well, looks like I'm going to try holdem again lolool. I am going to focus on 4 to 6-tabling, because my goal is not to be a NL25 24-table grinder, but to improve and go to the highest stakes possible. The only way to do that is to think carefully about each situation, and you can't do that 24-tabling or w/e.

My foray into NL25 last month went really well, so hopefully going back there I can rebuild my roll.

I'm currently on a $1300 downswing, -$400 from NL100 HU, and -$900 from PLO25.... ridiculously sick.
