I have played two more sessions of $200 six handed PLO since last post and I have further success to report. I won $97 last night and a further $191 the previous session which now takes me nearly $900 ahead on the year so far. I have dropped down to one table and I find that I can read the play far better. I started out playing 3/4 tables simply because this was what other successful players were doing.
It was obviously a big mistake and not something that I want to repeat. I have not used tracking software but as the games get tougher than using an Omaha tracker will become inevitable. So far 2010 hasn’t provided me with a losing session as yet but after the bad end to 2009 then I am in need of things going my way somewhat.
I have been thinking about rejoining a coaching site that specialises in PLO but the thing is that I think that my system of play does quite well when one tabling so I am reticent to tamper with something that feels like it is doing well. It is hard these days to go anywhere without the latest scandal on Full Tilt Poker being talked about.
Isildur losing $4.2 million to Brian Hastings in a single day and then it comes out that him and Cole South along with Brian Townsend were sharing information on Isildur. Don’t like to say that I told you so (OK so I said it) but a quick flick back through my recent posts will reveal what I said. May have been last month or November but I said how the big boys would be plotting against him.
I think Isildur was a little naïve staying around for so long, I would have hit and ran and then come back at a later date with a different MO. Any player with a massive seven figure roll is going to be up there to be shot at and when you get the best in the world taking aim then your days are numbered…..the kid should have cut it short.
