Agressive PLO Challenge[PLO5 to ...]
Hi all!
I've been talking about trying this challenge for a while now and finally i'm going to try it. I have knee surgery coming up in mid-July, which will put me flat on my ass for atleast a month, but most likely for more. Have a bit of spare time right now and decided it's perfect time to get started.
I am a PLO25 player and play up to PLO100 at untracked. I am definitely moving most of my action away from Stars and probably play MTT's and very little PLO in the future there. This is the main reason, why i am going to give this a try.
Starting with a bankroll of 50$. Will start from PLO5.
BRM:
50$+ PLO5 - drop down at 40$
100$+ PLO10 - drop down at 80$
250$+ PLO25 - drop down at 200$
500$+ PLO50 - drop down at 400$
1000$+ PLO100 - drop down at 800$
Will update after every session with graph. Might post some hands. Will probably play a ton.
Vamos.

I'll revive this thread after 5yr break. Still around and after having a nightmare of a year. I think i need to hold mysefl accountable somehow.
My main games are MTTs and I mix in some SNGs to have the table count I feel i'm most comfortable, but I do dabble in cash when i don't have that much time to play. I'll try and keep this thread active and update as much as I can.
2024 was terrible, from June I just started losing and losing in MTTs, on a huge downswing still and it has affected my play a lot.
Cash has been absolute trash last 2 months too, down around 20-25bi.
I'll see how the year ends and how i proceed in 2025, but my goal is to make a little side income. I don't necessarily dream of anything other than $$$. 2024 was really rough and still is, so i'm not gonna expect much.
Will post again when I'm ready to go, have to wrap this year up somehow. Really don't want to play that much tbh, but we'll see how it plays out.
Happy new year to everyone!
Was a little under the weather today after getting home 6am absolutely battered. Have been curing the hangover whole day and decided to play some cash. It turned into playing like 4k hands.
Also sattied into New Year Series 66-L event at Stars a couple of days ago, so i'm playing this on the side and barely hanging in there with a shortstack.
Will post cash graph tomorrow, started off nicely, winning like 3bis, then dropped like 7bi within next 1k hands and found myself down 4bi, however i managed to salvage the session somehow and ended down about half a buy-in.
Will see how i feel in the morning, but kinda want to play first MTT sesh of the year.
Cashed for 65 bucks in event 66-L, last hand AKhh vs JJ and couldn't get there.
Since i couldn't 1-table that, i kept playing cash and ended up playing tad under 6k hands. Finished really late, so no MTTs prolly today.
1 hand too. Could raise flop, but at the time i thought he might fold his overpairs etc on that board and let's keep his barrels in. When he overbets the turn i'm kinda suspicious, never raising though. River looks dreamy, actually thought about just calling, but i think i have to jam for value in these stakes.

1st week:
Not much to report. A bit cash and been playing a lot of MTTs past few days. Had some deep runs. Busted 109 Mystery Million KK vs AA, played like 4-5 bullets in 55 phase 1 and busted all without getting much going in any of the bullets. Had some deep runs, last was big 5.5, where i finished 4th after losing CL pot AA vs 66 aipf and villain binking a 6 on the river in classical fashion. Also made another FT in some tournament i don't recall exactly, busted KK vs AA with 5 left. Can't catch a break late in MTTs.
Cash slowing down is partly me being lazy/tired and not wanting to play at that state, but also because the zoom pools have been superdry. I've always been loyal to Stars and have been dabbling elsewhere a bit, but i really think i got to move my cash action to GG.
