PLO

Lately I have been playing a bunch of NLHE and some 7 Stud Hi/Low. I have been neglecting my other games. So, last night I decided to play a PLO tourney. I did pretty well. I got a little over aggressive a time or two but for the most part I feel like I played solid. There were 250ish players in the tourney and I finished 16th (with 27 getting paid).

Just like the rest of the on-line world...there were a ton of overaggressive donks for the first few levels. I honestly just sat back and waited for some solid hands, and would just try to see some flops cheap. It worked really well for me. When we were down to about 100 players left I had the chip lead. I was sitting on just over 55,000, and the next closest player had about 36 or 37,000. I was killing it.

Now, I know I got a little over aggressive in a few hands and doubled up a couple shortstacks, but I really did take some nasty beats too. I guess that is to be expected in a game like PLO. Pre Flop, no hand has a real dominating hand over another, and most of the time you find yourself on one side or another of a 60/40 situation.

I will try to post some hands from it later today or tomorrow.
