Message: [QUOTE="Matt Vaughan, post: 2444840, member: 34747"] Thread completely dead. Would be awesome to get more feedback next time I post hands, guys :) It's not like I'm playing amazing and everything I'm doing is solid, so please weigh in next time. Had a swingy few days. Nice change of pace from just losing, but swingy nonetheless. I took 20% of duggs in the sunday milly and he busted no cash. He wanted to take a piece of me in a $109 instead of just getting his money (for god knows what reason :D), so I played a $109 $35k gtd on Sunday. I ran pretty piss poor throughout, not winning my first non-blind stealing pot until about level 7. I won an all-in when I jammed 10bb OTB with K6s into very tight players, and somehow got snapped by A6o in the BB. Managed to flop a K and hold though. There I started to run better, picking up jacks a few times and winning small pots by raising pre and cbetting. Then got aces and got a guy to absolutely spazz: He opens MP and I 3b in the SB with AA and he flats, leaving an SPR of about 1. Flop J54r and I jam and he snaps with J8o. Turn 3, river 8, and I'm left with 2.5bb. End up calling it off from the BB vs. a SB jam when I have 76o. SB had been jamming like 4 hands per orbit with his 10ish bb stack, so I figured I'd have reasonable equity but he showed up with A7s and neither of us paired up. Despite playing the $109 I ended basically even on the day which meant I did decently at cash, but after that it was up and down like mad again. Cutting out 50nl now because don't feel like redepositing again and at the lowest I've been in a while. This is partially because I played 25PLO yesterday. Marginal was sweating me and the play there is just soooooo bad. Arguably on par with the skills of people at 5NL on Bovada. But PLO is PLO. I was dealt aces and kings a redic amount, and also flopped quite a few sets, but I was actually flopping quite poorly. I had to gii with aces in 4b pots a number of times when only barely ahead or reasonably behind, and I flopped sets on some of the grossest boards possible. About halfway through the session, Marginal and I agreed that I was down about 5 BI's. Turns out it was only 2.5 at the time, but it just seemed like more because of the sheer number of pots I was losing (a lot of the ones we thought were 70-80bb losses were more like 30-50bb). Continued to just get battered, flopping shitty equity right and left. Ended the session down 3.6 BI's. Enjoyed it a lot despite the losses though, and I'm strongly considering mixing PLO into my usual grind. Not sure how I'd break it up - probably just play whatever I'm in the mood for mostly, but we'll see as time goes on. Hope everyone's grind is going well. [/QUOTE]
