Heading to Vegas

Will be off to Vegas with friends from the 13th to the 20th. I read up on a PokerTek PLO Game being run at the Excalibur Thursday nights by Jeff Hwang (author of a recent PLO Book). That will also be the day I get back from our side LA trip so I hope I'm not too tired and can book in a live PLO session. The PokerTek tables treated me well my last vacation as well.

And GL to everyone with exams.

10K Hands

Well its taken me 2 weeks, so about 600 hands per day to get to my 10K Hand milestone. I learned a lot about PLO (Position, drawing to the nuts, and some bluff plays) and feel it will help me in my next 10K hands and so on. I think I need to work on widening my pre-flop hand selection range, but as a newb, it's okay to be a bit tighter for now.

Further ado, my 10K Profit Graph. btw, Rakeback is great because it will account for 1/3 of my net profits (RB not included in graph).

Great Sunday of PLO Action

Today I got in 1700 ish hands on a Sunday when games are said to be the juiciest. In the end I pulled a nice 5-6 buy-in profit and helped boost the PLO confidence. Hopefully this trend continues and I can make enough improvements to move up to the PLO $100 games and further. Good bankroll management is my moto!

What I've learned about Omaha

Position is KEY! Wow, how many time's I've spewed money out of position. And always try to nut peddle. As boring as nut peddling sounds, there is still tonnes of action and flipping in Omaha for the degenerates out there looking for slight edges which is always fun.

I've also included a nice swingy graph of my first week at $50 PLO 6max.












Have a good weekend. I'm off to Vegas next week :)

Time for PLO 6max

After having a lot of success in MTTs the past couple of months. I've decided to splash into PLO 6max cash game and start diversifying and trying to increase my winrate. I'll be starting at the 25c-50c PLO 6max games and trying to learn the ropes. I'll probably play a conservative (or not) 50 buyins to prevent busto-ness. Wish me luck :)
