Because I've been so undisciplined lately when it comes to putting in hands, I've decided I need to set some goals. Unfortunately, I don't have any tangible goal like I did in december (my supernova grind, was actually quite fun to play that much) but hopefully just having some basic goal of X hands will be enough.
So.. I'm going to shoot for 1k hands a day, which probably sounds very low (in december I did 5k a day) but the thing is, I'm 4 tabling. Omaha. That means it takes me almost 4 hours to reach 1k hands which is quite a lot.
I might try 6 tabling eventually, or 3 tables 6 max and 1 table HU, but we'll see. Easier to grind the more tables you play, but I'm not really comfortable enough in my omaha game to mass table I think.
Anyway, played my first 1/2 session of omaha today (I'm a nit so despite being very well rolled I started off much lower to learn ;p) and I'm quite happy with it. Tiny loss but enjoyed playing and think I did a good job of re-focusing everytime I felt myself drifting off.
I actually didn't quit just because I was almost back to even.. I swear 
Happy with my aggression numbers increasing, just need to get a little bit more frisky preflop and on the flop.
W$WSF looks meh but it's getting up there, hopefully as a result of my play improving. Once I have a decent sample of hands I'll do some serious PT reviewing.
VPIP looks somewhat low for 4 tabling perhaps, but it's climbing steadily, probably as I figure out how to play more and more hands.
As it's very late and I just wanted to get this up here to make sure I get started, I'll only post a handful of hands:
I think I out-thought myself here.. he insta called flop and turn so I was thinking "wouldn't he stop to think for a bit /w a boat or a 3?".. And ye, I think I need to realize that raising a 3 with no kicker on this flop probably isn't a super good idea in omaha and make it a bigger part of peoples range

Given my poor position, people left to act behind me, and my hand having a gap at the top and only one suite, should I fold preflop to the first raise? Once the action goes like it does I think I have to call for this price. On the flop.. I wasn't sure what my equity would look like here, so I ran it in propokertools vs a set of kings and a flushdraw, and came up with 29%, which is pretty close to enough to get it in here but I wasn't sure if I was being overly optimistic (ie how big is the risk I'll get it in vs like 789T or something). As it turns out I had 31% equity vs their hands (a set of kings and AA w a flushdraw, I guess me and the AA guy holding a six helped us as it limits the boat redraw, and there was only 1 blocker in their hands). Anyway, as I wasn't sure I ended up folding.

I thiiiink this AA** is strong enough for a 3bet. Flop is =[

Given that he just calls this flop, putting him on a draw/not great hand seems reasonable. If river bricks should I shove to get him off some lousy pair that might beat me? Maybe save myself a headache and check behind turn, but I did pick up a whole load of outs (well, an 8 is still not great) and his hand doesn't look very strong.
+ Show Spoiler +
Hm.. I guess he'd have called me here even without the flush. I'm not sure I should call the turn for a second full pot bet in a limped pot but I thought I had some bluff outs with spades obv.
+ Show Spoiler +
Misplayed not betting turn here, I block a straight fairly well. River I was just needlessly paranoid about getting bet/3bet, need to raise for value.
+ Show Spoiler +
So I was folding this hand preflop, then everyone and their mother called so I thought I had to as well given odds.. Meh. Turn I call cause I put him on AA and I have a lot of outs and getting a good price. Preflop might still suck tho 
+ Show Spoiler +
Another hand I think might be a preflop fold. I have an ace and a pair which sucks, and my hand isn't terrible connected. Even if my equity in the pot is good enough to justify a call, I can probably not realize this equity if I'm going to miss almost all flops (ie I don't get to see all 5 cards). Ye -.-

As nolan said, I think b/f flop is best here. I was probably distracted on some other table as this seems like a pretty good flop to bet.
+ Show Spoiler +
Not sure there's any point in barrelling here.. their hand seems fairly likely to be a mediocre medium overpair type hand but I also didn't feel like I could rep a whole lot.
+ Show Spoiler +
With the FD missing, I felt c/c was best here since I didn't think he'd call 2 streets with a straight draw on a 2 flush board. Would have snapcalled an allin too. Meh.
+ Show Spoiler +
Too thin? I think the alternative is to c/f?
+ Show Spoiler +
Err, b/f flop? Any point in even calling the turn once I check flop >_
+ Show Spoiler +
Not sure I should even call here OOP preflop. Maybe I could 3bet this type of hand but I think I'd rather do that 100bb deep as getting it in with a flushdraw and pair or something isn't that bad when shallow but probably not great when this deep.
On the flop.. folding seems weird, raise/fold seems awkward and would be almost purely to define his hand (I guess some value from boatdraws if I make it small) but I'm not gonna even like betting turn and it's gonna get so messy. I decided to call and bluff boat cards but since he checked behind turn I thought I was probably good and decided to check down. Oh well.
Worth noting is that the limper was quite bad, so that might be an argument for calling pre.

My turn betsize is stupid. Because it leaves the short stack with 6$. WHAT A WASTE! Talk about crushing the deck.
+ Show Spoiler +
Given his stacksize I'm comfortable getting it in here, but I'm not sure how much bigger it has to be before I shouldn't be. Once we get to that point, am I better off checking behind so as to not get blown off my fairly strong hand?
+ Show Spoiler +
Hm, I think I like this line, if I can get it in vs the halfstack I'm not too unhappy, and I might get a bluff out of them. I guess if the bigger stack (who was vvvv loose, like 80/15 or something) slowplayed something that really sucks :[
+ Show Spoiler +
Maybe worth a 3bet here preflop? Flop is.. like, if I c/r, I might as well c/r with 4 uno cards, he's never just calling my c/r and I can't call an allin (cause I'll be drawing stone dead to AA** with diamonds/boat/quads or very poorly vs a 3 so meh. Lead?
Sweeeeeeet flop  Maybe checking turn hoping sets turn themselves into bluffs is too tricky. Shoving turn does look awfully strong tho but I suppose that with his stacksize he's never folding a set anyway so might as well get it in.
+ Show Spoiler +
With his small raise I think I can call on the flop, even with the flushdraw.. Sick that the equities reversed on the turn (45/55 into 55/45).
+ Show Spoiler +
I considered checking turn, since nearly no rivers are bad for me, but he's more of a station than a bluffer I think.. So I probably have to build the pot myself.
+ Show Spoiler +
Sick that he's actually ahead of me on the flop, didn't realize 2 pair and a fd was enough for that (I knew a set and a fd was tho). Anyway, my plan was to bluff board pairing cards and clubs (oops) but when he checked back turn I obviously decided he didn't have the hand I thought he had (the last QJ) so I scratched that plan.
+ Show Spoiler +
Well, that's all of them, so gnight, gl.
