Right back to business then.
Played a small PLO session today, first proper online cash session for a couple of months but felt I played very well and also ran good. I won just under $100 in about 2 hours so that has to be good. My PLO game is different to my NLHE game and I play a lot looser and see a lot more flops. I think this has a lot to do with playing much deeper and therefore being able to play a flop much better and there is a lot of play on the later streets. A lot of PLO players also play their hands face up after the flop. If fact a lot of them also seem to assume everybody else does as well so very exploitable. It"s a very good game and I would recommend everybody try it, even though I am very much still learning it. Try and make notes on people who can"t get away from over-pairs after the flop as these are like ATM"s when playing very deep (not so much when only 100BB deep).
Hopefully this will be the start of a good run which will see me doing well in both cash games and tournaments for a while. I am off work on Friday this week so will be putting in some poker time then as well. I want to try and get in at least three sessions per week on December. Ideally one of Hold "em, one of Omaha and a tournament session. Maybe next year I will even try to learn that silly PLO8 game properly.
Stats for today were
VP$IP = 44%
PFR = 23%
3-Bet = 9%
The 3-bet is most likely too low but happy enough with that for now. It"s a tiny sample.
I ran well above EV. The session was +EV by just over $30. Biggest pot I won was a cooler for the other guy but god mode is fun:-

*NB - Pokerstars screen id changed in hand history (it is not AAroddersAA). I will change it to AAroddersAA on all hh in this thread and on the PHA on Blonde. I don"t want anybody to be able to identify me at the table.
I can"t find any mistakes worth posting so will just stick with the above hand for now. Obviously neither of us are folding on that flop.
Friday will probably be a NLHE day (or maybe tournaments if I feel like it).
