Message: [QUOTE="Matt Vaughan, post: 3331288, member: 34747"] Haven't posting much about cash these days since it was going incredibly poorly. A lot of it was true run bad, and for the most part I was playing reasonably well, but as it stretched longer, I started to play worse, which contributed. I had something like a 14 session swing where I booked only one win, right in the middle, and it was only for $130. But I'm happy to report that I've made a major dent in my downswing by booking my biggest single cash game session win while playing my normal Friday night home game. It was a round-by-round-by-round, playing NL/PLO/PLO8. The game played pretty normal in the NL rounds, but in the PLO and PLO8 rounds, there was a TON of straddling, and people got VERY deep. (For hours I was 2k+ deep with 2 or more other players.) And they allow multiple straddles there, so this alleged 1/2 game was 1/2/5 about 30% of the time, 1/2/5/10 about 30% of the time, and 1/2/5/10/20 about 20% of the time during the non-holdem rounds. There was even one hand that went 1/2/5/10/20/40. There were several limps before a player made it $120. Several players called, including me with AJJ5 with a suited A. The flop was 234ddx, giving me the second nuts but no draw. The pot was already about $500, and I ended up getting in another $600ish against the bare nut flush draw and holding. (I learned after the hand that one player had another two diamonds in their hand, and another had another FOUR diamonds in their hand. If I'd lost, I would have been unhappy. :) ) Anyway, it feels good to have a buffer before the next potential ATM trip, but my next planned poker outing will be to Potawatomi next weekend for the MSPT. I'm on quite the dry spell in tournaments, so hoping I can turn that around this coming weekend. On a side note, as PLO8 becomes a larger part of the games that I play, I'm looking for content to improve my game. I am a CLP subscriber, so I'm watching some vids on there, but looking for other stuff too. I don't think many people in this thread play PLO8, but just sending out some feelers. [/QUOTE]
