    Hi guys,

    I just started doing PLO content a few days ago and wanted to start this blog to keep track of my progress (or non progress). I’m a former micro NL, SnG and MTTSnG player, all more or less successful. At NL I did a lot of GTO solving and like game theory but always lacked motivation to go through hands or grind through downswings.. lets change that and exPLOre something new.

    I do have plenty of PLO video and Jnandez book to go through to. Lets see how long it takes to beat micro PLO properly.

    If I can manage I will do some streaming on a regular basis:

    https://www.twitch.tv/foxpoker

    Poker Goals 2020:

    • [ ] understanding PLO fundamental (finish JNandez Small Stakes Book)
    • [ ] beat PLO2 Zoom over 20k+ Hands
    • [ ] min 1h PLO Video content per day
    • [ ] start streaming on a regular basis

    Poker Goals 2021:

    • [ ] beat PLO5 Zoom
    • [ ] beat PLO10 Zoom
    • [ ] 30k Hands per month (Jan x, Feb x, Mar x, Apr x, May x, Jun x, Jul x, Aug x, Sep x, Oct x, Nov x, Dec x)

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Hey @fox

    Welcome to the PLO Mastermind and the community!

    Let’s crush those micros and get moving through the stakes!

    Best of luck with the stream when you have time for it, and look forward to reading further updates of your progress.

    Ash

    Alright time for some Updates after the first month.

    Cliffs to that chart:

    – in the beginning of this graph I tried PLO2 Zoom on my own

    – after the first downfall to -25$ @5k hands a book arrived in my mail and I took a picture of it 😀 (I’m still in the pre-flop section since I am very deeply study person)

    – would have been broke at -40$ (BR Start was 40$, so 20 BI to learn PLO) for the first time since I started online poker back in the years

    – started using the Cashout feature somewhere in the middle, after talking to Kyyberi explaining it to me. I never used it because people at NL said “oh dont do that it costs 1% etc.”, but since variance was always my biggest enemy (kills my motivation to grind, makes me tilting a bit, frustrated), I thought I just start using it every time and see what happens to my “game”

    I do post my graphs in my Discord (https://discord.gg/tENf8atuEV). I just noticed I am also able to edit posts here later on, which is awesome, so in case I want to change something I can do that.

    Fails so far:

    – I haven’t started streaming yet but got my mic arm in the mail and gonna give playing and talking at the same time a shot

    – Not gonna have time for 1h of plo video content a day while reading that book. I instead joined a study group, so I will break that down to 1h per week

    Cheerio!
