We get four cards?

grapsfan wrote a really good article at a really good time for me. My last post was pretty miserable due to the way I had been running lately. I put a ton of stock in long run results, but when you run horribly for 3 days it is hard to ignore. Playing within my bankroll is perhaps the only silver lining because I guarantee if I was playing with the bankroll management of the average player I would have been on tilt and went busto.

grapsfan suggested playing a different game to bust a slump so I returned home to PLO. I made my first serious money playing PLO on Stars during my freshman year and lately have found a new love for the game. I've played about 4,000 hands in the last 3 days and I'm running ridiculously well including a day where I netted 7 full buy-ins. Only problem with PLO is there aren't any games running on AP so I am missing out on rakeback until FTP/CTR decided to get their act together.

I also spent some time today watching some Cardrunners videos. I watched some of the NL cash game play as well as the latest ActionJeff MTT videos that I hadn't been able to watch for awhile. I've realized that in a few key situations in MTT's I'm making plays that are very different than AJ and I will try to adjust in future tournaments. My buddy davester also went over the HH from the FT run I made in the 180-SNG (assumingly for his own benefit) and found a play I make that may be exploitable. Basically I was applying a cashgame c-bet/value betting style to my MTT play which may not have maximized my EV. I appreciate ANY constructive criticism of my game. Getting better and learning from your mistakes is often much easier when someone else is helping you find the mistakes. If I post a HH and you're left scratching your head, please post a comment.

PLO Hand - The game in a nutshell. 1/2 the deck hits me and I'm at best a 65% on any street.
