I think the main reason to keep this blog running is that it helps me to reflect my life and my game.  Today i want to make a few goals.  I know i have told myself in the past not to turn back to PLO, but honestly, i am pretty sure i can beat the game. 

I always procrastinate when the topic is to move up.   I have been playing pretty solid 8 tabling the 50 max, and i think i really should 8 table the 100 max.  I am definately bankrolled to take these swings.  The only problem is that it does bother me to lose over certain amount in one day,  and when you double the stakes, that is inevitable.  However, as a poker player, you should neve care, or at least, you need to be able to deal with the swings.  If you cannot, you are in the wrong profession. 

What is not to be confuzed is the difference between swings and playing BAD.  Those are two different things.  Swings might happen when you play good but still lose, but playing bad and tilting is unacceptable.  A few guidelines for me to REMEMBER AND FOLLOW:

- Do not play when the internet is slow...even if it itches you to.  It is more than proven that you will lag, get mad and therefore play -EV poker.

-in PLO, DO NOT EVER overplay AAxx.  If you cannot put at the very least 40-50% of your $ pre flop, that hand is just garbage. 

-NOT any Ace sooted is playable.  You really need to have 3 connectors with it...you simply won't be able to have favorable flops in the long run by playing naked suited aces. 

-POSITION POSITION POSITION. 

The plan is to be able to get to 5/10 PLO by the end of the year.  I will write on my next blog my own guidelines for a happy bankroll management :)

Gl at the tables.
