Hands like No1 just make me want to stick my fist through the monitor, you did pretty much eveything right, he gambled and got lucky.

This is exactly where the £ is to be made in low stakes PLO.  Unfortunately - they get there sometimes, but just be happy u managed to get ur £ in good and ride the variance.  I think u need a minimum of 50 buy-ins for PLO, as downswings r inevitable.  A 4 buy-in down swing is pretty solid.  I managed a 13 buy-in drop in 3 days a few weeks ago.  That was fun.......

hi_am_chris:
Hands 1 and 3 are just sick, i think hand two your maybe overplaying your hand preflop a bit, not sure you want to be getting that much in with weak aces

pables:
Crizzy that"s nothing lol. Ask Dan Owston!!! :o

Thanks for the comments guys. I definitely know this is where the money is to be made in ssPLO and for sure I am under-rolled to be playing this level, like I said earlier - i"m only just rolled for taking a small shot here, if that. Counting Sundays losses I"ve had a 5.5-BI downswing and I definitely should have enough bi"s to withstand 10-20 BI downswings in PLO but i"m a gambler trying to run up my money xBlink style ;D I"m going to stick with 25PLO on Stars until I drop another 4-BI"s and hit $300, then i"ve got 30-BI"s for 10PLO which is still probably under-rolled but oh well, fingers crossed my boom-switch is on.

And in reference to Chris, there"s no doubt about it that I seriously over played hand #2 pre-flop. I was tilting at this point, hand 2 & 3 were right after each other and this was the very tail-end of the session. I was putting my weak holdings face up with little chance of improving beyond one pair, I absolutely love ss-PLO-donks who play their weak aces like this and my calling range vs such players is fairly wide pre-flop. Unfortunately for a brief second I turned into one of these donks :D

Here"s hoping I run better next time.
