today was a decent day, i started a few hours late and didn't do to well at all durin the day, then made the highroller ft's of hero and lock, to run really really bad at both final tables. 10kish up top in a really weird payout on the hero, and 4740 1st on lock.
think i won like 200 tho.
tiring, annoyed, hope i can hold some hands and get some better results in the next week or so
So I was up 25k on the day then I lost a 9k pot after 5betting AA, getting flatted by KK then jamming a T95 flop and him spiking a K on the turn and now I'm tilted and frustrated. sigh ... lol ...
Was going to make this blog post earlier but edzwoo's post beat me to it. Finally got back to the suburbs. Living in a pretty nice area right now. Rooming with edzwoo in a two bed two bath condo. It's 1500 sq ft and one of only six units here with a terrace. There's a sundeck, pool, gym, two hot tubs and a running/bike trail through the forest preserve across the street. If you read edzwoo's blog then you probably already seen some of these pictures. It's really nice to be back, seeing a lot of friends from high school who are in the area and honestly I forgot how much I love hanging out with them. Friends have been crashing on the couch pretty much every single night. Great places to eat, been just eating out every single day. Only had two meals at home in three weeks. Going out to bars every chance I get, just having a blast ever since I got back.
Been working 50-60 hour weeks, 6 days a week, trying to set things up in the warehouse. The hard work is paying off because after only 3 weeks we're already doing 30-40% more in sales than we were before we left. But I'll talk about that in another post. Time for some brag pictures.

sorry for being a PLO noob,watching these old fulltilt poker hands but in this vid the hand that went to showdown at 4:27 I was like HUH??. pretty sick flopped top 2 vs running trips wit KQ high and AK high.

Today was a pretty sweet day.

lovin the mixture of mtt's on both sites, I keep Hero's full schedule going, and 2-3 high or midstakes mtts running on lock (run all gntd mtts on hero pretty much) LOVE how they added so many great sunday MTT's - and really excited to continue to see what they do with the schedule. the latenight hyperturbos are sweet as hell too
Had a nice heap of chips in the highroller on hero finally today (the 40k instead of weekly 25k) but had a couple bad hands shatter that dream this weekend. Lets really hit it hard next weekend!
Feeling really good since coming home, and playing very well as well.
Tomorrow, day off, gonna mow the lawn n take my rest!
arrived in states with mu at 35k. (20k from arrival in costa rica, 5kx2 from loans in 3 months (had 16k loaned) - means i only won like 6k there? really doesn't make sense, have a much better deal with my backer now though, seems very worth it in the long run I guess. - scope says i made like 40k on stars, doesnt make lot of sense)
MU now at 6k.
Feels good to be playing my A game and having some key hands hold.
- keep urself fresh - don't overwork - stick to your plan and work hard - HF

Well I havent learned how to beat PLO4 on my own yet. Much like in holdem, it seems my biggest difficulty is playing vs maniacs. I just get so irritated that I end up trying to play back at them and always run bad in the process. In PLO it's only magnified that much further. 80/50 players with 35% 3bet routinely own me. Seems like everyone is just gambling though. Cant tell you how many times I've seen 4 way allin's with just a bunch of low connector or suited cards. It's like 1 fish goes for a random 3bet, but it doesnt work out because the pot is then 4bet and 5bet back to him. At this point I guess he just says fuck it and recognizes everyone is about to go allin anyway so they all just ship on each other. I tried playing their game right back by relentlessly 3betting and 4betting, but they just call and I'll somehow fail to make even 1 pair and end up folding to a 1/3 pot bet on the turn or something stupid. I'm down about 30 buyins at the lowest limit of PLO possible, so I'll assume it's more me than them. I mean, it's one thing to lose to maniacs repeatedly, but without the fundamentals to beat normal fish or even thinking players, I'm just losing every hand I play.
So I'm going to sign up for DC for 3 days or a week or whatever free trial they offer and just see what it is I'm doing wrong to start. Hopefully that will be enough to plug my game.
