So I finally feel confident enough in my PLO game to mix it up and do 4 tables NLHE 2 tables PLO, had my first such session today and it went alright. Started out down 2k but made a come back and when I stopped playing at midnight and fired up my PT stat windows I noticed I was only down 200 - very nice.

Starting out playing HU on 2 tables (PLO one, nlhe one) and 6 max on another two (well, waiting lists anyway), got kinda crushed in the PLO HU ^_^ Didn't run great and might not have played great either, not sure.

I played >waaaay< too loose initially, probably an effect of playing so much PLO for the past 2 months. I had great difficulties keeping my VPIPs below the 40s initially (like 40/30, 36/30). Think I was leaking a reasonable amount of chips playing this way hehe.

Omaha hands
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505408 - Biggest pot I won, 3 barrel bluff when quite deep.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505406 - It seems really weird for him to pot a jack here, I considered moving in but ended up wussing out.. (if he doesn't have a jack I'd put him on some kind of pair that called for 2 pair and is now bluffing)

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505405 - Pretty standard.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505404 - Might be standard?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505403 - Here I'm trying to bluff him off the 3rd nuts.. I dunno if it's brilliant but he did time all the way down...

At least he didn't snapcall or I'd have been tilted! Btw I really did think he was quite likely to have a boat (maaaybe a straight) because of a previous hand where he made the same halfpot bets with middle set IIRC.

Hold'em hands:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505400 - First time I see him, I haven't played on ipoker in a couple of months, but he was quite aggressive with 3bets from the blinds, and seemed reasonable (he had like 24/21ish stats over the small sample I had on him iirc). He'd 3bet a couple of times and I 4bet him the 3rd time I think (with a bluff), which worked. Do you like a raise/call on this flop or a call/call (and probably call again?)?
I'm unsure how many pair+draws he'll have in his range.. Vs his specific hand I could have obviously gotten the money in but I'm not sure he'd call with hands like 87s or if he'd 3bet those.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505399 - Too much omaha for me? He snap-potted turn then hesitated a while on the river.. I think I missed a pretty easy valueraise here (although if he reshoved on me I'd be really fucked?).

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505397 - It doesn't make sense for him to have hit this flop with much, I think AQ 3bets, 9s MIGHT 3bet, AA and QQ certainly does 3bet and I block A9 and 99 anyway. So he probably has a draw.. I guess he can have like AT type hands too? Call flop/raise turn good? On the river maybe I'm missing a valuebet again, I sort of just wanted to see what he had. Actually, once he checks, I'm probably always good and should bet.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505396 - Another hand where I really think I've played too much omaha.. I'd expect a ten to raise me on the flop quite a lot, so I was sort of worried he'd have like an underfull. I didn't bet turn because, eh, I felt like I should be tricky since I'm not really gonna be double barreling here a ton. But then I realized I can't very well check/raise here if I expect him to raise most tens on the flop.. So I settled for call/then on the river I dunno, like every midpair he could have been calling me with has a boat now. Bet bet bet probably better..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505395 - villain is like 65/1, maybe I'm supposed to barrel turn here.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505393 - Wee.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505391 - Eh I really didn't expect him to show up with this hand.. He's quite fishy but had such a high fold % and low WTSD that I was briefly considering if I should be checking, but you know, I have TPTK..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505387 - one time! Straight flushes are pretty good.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505384 - Both villains in this hand are extremely fishy~ I think I played it alright.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505386 - Huge trainwreck of a hand, I was timing out due to having a difficult decision on another table so just hit the pot button. Same super tight/passive (19/5) villain from the above hand calls me.. I dunno, I hate that ace a lot =[ Not sure I like my turn bet if I check flop, maybe I should just check again.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505381 - Blah, I thought he was the minraiser so I put lots of overpairs in his range. Not sure I like this stackoff now..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505379 - Snapcalled before I noticed he overbet shoved. I might have called anyway, although I think he was trying to get me to call when he did these overbets.. Meh. Losing with trips to top boat for a buyin isn't too bad at least.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505378 - Maybe this is too fancy, this is like my 2nd hand at the table.. IIRC I thought this guy was a reg (probably saw him on a bunch of tables) and thus I don't think he has AK very often. When he calls flop and checks back turn I put him on like 99-JJ so I shove river to try to get him to call those hands.
Terribad sans history?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505377 - Bleh? =]

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/505376 - NFD vs OESD+FD, stnd straight on the river.

Kinda missed a loooot of valuebets today (in the hold'em, I think I played very well in the Omaha 6 max games) but I'm happy that I didn't really tilt much and getting back to even was nice. I've been sleeping like shit lately, going to bed at like
1 am, falling asleep at 6 am, waking up at 6 pm.. Trying to stay up to turn the clock around but falling asleep cause I've been sleeping so poorly that I'm just too tired. Vicious circle really.
