Really short session this time, just a bit over an hour I guess.

Well, 38% w$wsf looks prettier than 32 certainly, but once again might be variance, will take a while before I can tell if I'm doing any better. Where in PTO can I see my cbet stat? Would be interested in knowing, feel like I'm getting c/red a fair bit. Maybe I'm over-cbetting (or perhaps just over-cbetting compared to my range, ie cbetting boards which are very hard to hit w a tight range).

A perplexing couple of hands:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487969 - Do I bet turn? On river, I guess he really isn't betting that many non-flush hands, and I only block the 2nd nuts with my queen.. But ugh I dunno. I certainly can't call and maybe he folds a baby flush or straight or something. Meh, probably not a great idea to bluff here :C
BUT, given this hand the next hand is absolutely shocking..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/488006 - How do I NOT stack him here? It's just mindboggling!? I was sitting at my desk going "set of jacks set of jacks set of jacks set of jacks!!!". Then he just calls. With a set of jacks.
And to think I would probably raise this river with T8**, TJ**, probably not 88**.. Well given my last bluff, maybe I would/should?
Would raising flop, calling a 3bet and shoving any flushcard or board pair (actually if board pairs maybe I shouldn't shove.. that seems very unbalanced tho) be a good idea? Perhaps given my last bluff on a flushcard it wouldn't be a great idea to try that again, but in general. I suppose he could have a huge hand like set/fd if he 3bets the flop, but that would be pretty rare right?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487989 - This was shortly after the c/r river bluff, but I couldn't really find a c/r anywhere

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487990 - hm~~ I wasn't really thinking that far while in the hand, but /w my cold 3bet on this flop I might actually fold out 2nd or 3rd set?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487977 - Hm.. I'm not sure if I should raise flop or not, also not sure if I should call turn (since I have the fd) but probably ok to jam it too.. Given how he played the previous hand I didn't think he was terribly good =.= Well I dunno.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487959 - Hm. Think I should go for a river c/r or will people just check behind their medium flushes?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487960 - Didn't notice my 2nd 4 here or I would have probably led out. Given last hand, I hate the line

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487954 - I'm a little lost what to do in these spots. Board can't really get better for me (even an ace is deceptive). I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. He's like 25/4/10 over a small sample.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487935 - I was debating wether I should call preflop or not. The final word in my internal debate was "well.. it's sooo pretty!".

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487941 - Preflop I'm a lil unsure, only 1 fd and the gap is in the middle (I'm unsure how badly this hurt my hand). Flop, well, a very weak semi-bluff.. Turn he SNAP potted, I checked HH and noticed he'd played a toooon of pots and just stuck it in cause it felt very FOS. I guess I can be behind to like QTXX that doesnt want to raise flop but other than that.. Well I guess pair and higher fd is possible too.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487946 - Because I was busy loling at the guys last hand I didn't notice he lost another hand right after that and was shortstacked. If I had known, I'd have probably limped. As is, UTG's limp RR made me give him credit as a good player when really he just seemed to be a bit of an over-aggro. He c/red a ton it seemed.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487957 - Maybe these kinds of super dry flops are decent for checking AA** or TP behind, and bet with a more polarized range (ie set, 2 pair, air). They were superb cbet flops in hold'em but maybe not as good in omaha.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487971 - Too thin of a bet on the flop?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487972 - ok.. So from these hands I'd say, leads his air, c/c's his strong but not nut hands and c/r is probably nuts or air :c Although I don't remember

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/487931 - Ok, so uh, this was fairly unexpected imo. Thought for sure the only hand I had to worry about was QQXX.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/488004 - I'm not sure there's any point in continuing here.. With not much of a read, except that he has pretty aggressive stats, seen him around a bit.

I'm gonna try to do a lot of PT review (perhaps I need to wait until my sample is little bigger tho), to try to find a good range for BB defence and SB completion and just general ranges from the various positions. I've never really approached poker this way (always been a "play play play, learn from experience" type, with CR videos, forums, chatting to good players etc mixed in) but gonna give it a try, I know there's a couple of topics on 2p2 about PT review so I'm gonna spend some time reading those.

I also want to try to analyze some of the regs in the games, which - again - is something I haven't really done before (silly). Nothing too interesting here I guess, I really like omaha and I'm looking forward to really learning how to play it

So like... You only play omaha now?

Yeah, for this month at least. I really like this game and can't wait until I feel comfortable enough in my game to start moving up. I could comfortably play at least a couple of stakes higher bankroll wise (even with a slightly stricter bankroll management since it's omaha) but don't want to rush things.

I'll leave comments on all again. In future I might make the suggestion that you leave your comment about the hand inside the hand-history itself because I'm far too lazy to click back and forth between your blog and the hand history tab .

Happy to see a good winning day for you. What is good roll for a given stake at omaha, do you have any specific rules?

No idea really, but I guess 50 buyins is what I'll go with once I start moving up.

Heh, you should try prima later. I don't know shit about omaha and even though there hardly more then like 6 games higher then 0.5/1 going at the same time ever they're soft as hell.
