I have enjoyed PLO so far this month. I will post a screenshot at the end. I don't have a lot of hands, though.

A few PLO observations:

1. The players are really really bad. I consider myself to be at the 2 year old monkey with down's syndrom stage of learning PLO, but most of the 50 plo is closer to somethign like a 3 celled organism. Even the regs are playing 65/7 or something.

2. I played 780 hands and got my effective stacks in with 90%+ equity like 4 times not including river where people are obviously drawing dead.

3. If you tilt, plo is not for you. You have to play some 50/50 and 60/40 hands to make money. Lose 3 or 4 of those in a session and lose your mind, your bankroll will follow.

I'll close iwth a screenshot and my favorite hand so far. I am probably running a bit below expectation but I don't expect to make a lot of money this month. I want to learn the game and be crushing 1/2-2/4 in a few months.

I would also like to say dodgyken's photoshop of cts playing guitar = heroin needles was very well done. It is a bit disturbing that he facebook stalked me to get it though.

I love my stalkers though.

I'm thinking about making it my personal mission to freak you out as much as possible. Also - I forgot to answer before but we definitely should talk about PLO and do some sweats and stuff. I've just started getting back into it more. I'm on holiday at the mo, but I'll be playing a lot from the 24th ish.

I am learning PLO...moving slowly up so don't mind the stupid questions...with NJBoss's re-raise you obviously put him on Aces...so this is one of those 60/40 cases, but were you were worried that Brendan could have put in the re-raise and squeeze you guys? If Sasuke doesn't make the call there, do you still call? If you were double suited it seems like a good time to re-raise to get heads up.

Sorry, just trying to figure out strategies...Just moved up to .10/.25 after 2500hands of .05/.10 (started in January). Doing well so far, but have only played 87 hands.

Thanks.

i'm not very good, but basically i figured the reraiser had aces and my hand is really strong 3 way. i'd rather get some more dead money in the pot esp this deep. if i flop well i when a big pot.

again, i'm not very good at omaha. i do get to gambool more, so that's a selling point
