Took a couple of days break but since I played 3k hands instead of the usual 1k before I did, I'm still on track handwise.

I feel like I start playing poorly after about.. 5-600 hands, I guess it could just be that I started off running good and that's why I feel that way, but it just felt like I was too passive and not paying as much attention as I should. Maybe it's an effect of all my tables finally kicking in (ie at the start of my session I'll be on 2-3 tables with 2-3 waitlists).
Maybe I should stick to 4 until I get better..

I really tightened up out of position today as I think that's where I was leaking the most, that and playing trashy QQ/JJ type hands.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500500 - Not sure I'm deep enough to c/r the river so I elected to just bet it and hope to fold out 2 pairs or maaaaaaybe a straight.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500509 - Not quite getting odds to boat up so maybe I should fold this turn..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500518 - He snapcalled the turn so I decided to call river, I didn't think he'd flat turn with just a straight draw that often..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500519 - Here's a situation I'm not sure about: I have extremely trashy jacks and a fish limps.. Can I overlimp in position or it just gonna be too spewy to play this hand as a pure setmine?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500541 - All I can say about this hand is "wtf mate?"

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500547 - I hate these hands oop. Call/call/fold seems.. so weird. Call/fold seems terribly exploitable as well not to mention he's gonna valuebet bottomset on the turn. Call/call/call with no history or read on him seems terrible as well. I ended up call/fold which I immediately regretted.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500559 - Turning hand into a bluff on turn seem ok?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500563 - I should probably make some really weird tiny bet on the river since he more or less never has a better hand here.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500566 - I'm not sure if this is really terrible or really expert by me.. But I decided to bet turn as a bluff to get him to fold something like overpair+fd or a better jack+fd.. I thought for sure he'd get it in with a set on the flop but when he then raises this turn.. I dunnom, I think I'm drawing to (maybe) a jack so I fold. Is it better to check down? No idea how to react to a river bet tho.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500573 - Seems standard (I'm bluffing btw, in case anyone new to plo happens to think I'm valueraising).

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500583 - I'm not sure if I should bet here because he's somewhat likely to have a queen if he had some kind of SD (say QJXX) or check because a flushdraw missed. He's like 80/1 something, and I saw him c/c bottom set+2nd nut fd on 3Q9 3 way before, then call a c/r and c/c a blank turn so he's not really one to play sets fast. Actually in this case I think he was worried he was behind because he thought for a while on the turn, dunno dont think he was slowrolling. Anyway I'm I thought if he had slowplayed a set he'd for sure bet here and I could c/r.. Meh I'm not sure if his river check is really expert or really bad.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500601 - Really regret 3betting here, it chases the super deep 80/1 fish out of the pot

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500624 - Is the initial preflop call bad with a gap at the top? Once it gets 3bet, should I be at all worried about flopping dominated draws etc 3 way or just standard call (I'm thinking it's a very standard call but for some reason I made a weird fold..).

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500628 - H m ~ I should probably be getting it in here considering stacksizes.. Would a lead be ok to try to get him off AA**? Maybe it's transparent but it's not like I have any fold equity once he bets anyway.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500649 - Check/raising or betting.. On the one hand, someone could reason that it's hard for me to have a hand I'll bet all three streets with that loves this river and maybe turn something into a bluff and raise me.. On the other hand he did like to draw. On the 3rd hand, maybe he doesn't bet a weak flush.

Overall I'm down just under 3 buyins at 1/2 PLO this month, which is alright considering my relative freshness to PLO and all. There's a nice post on 2p2 about PT analysis (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=1729) and setting up categories in PTO (at page 2, I think, there's a list you can copy paste so you don't have to set them up yourself).

I noticed I'm down a ton with QQ / JJ type hands since moving up to 1/2, I think part of it is that they ran into quads a couple of times (JJ twice, QQ once) but it might also be that sets don't get paid off as well at 1/2 as at lower limits..
