Keeping Warm in Winter

Prob re-raise to about 0.85 pre, or given the way you disguised your hand pre, pop in a 45c bet on flop. It"s a dry flop but for a small amount some villains will come along to see a turn. Doubt anyone puts you on AA hole cards betting out on that flop after you flatted pre..............but then again I"m sh** at Omaha and still inexperienced :D

Had a rest from poker yesterday, Back in work on Thursday, had a nice rest but starting to get bored so will be happy to be back. I am currently playing PLO on Sky Poker 10p/20p was doing really well until I got it all in (for a £60 pot) pre with AAJ9 with one of the aces suited and lost to TTQ9 when he made a straight.
Think something must be wrong even though I can"t see what it is, it really looks to me like I am consistently getting the money in good and getting outdrawn. My hands in Poker Tracker seem to back this up and I am not really getting any back in the way of winning hands from behind either. I feel like I am playing really well but keep losing.
EDIT - and I come off 2 buyins down - straight beaten by a rivered full house (90% of the pot in by the turn, I called his small allin on river).
I am starting to think I should give poker a rest period. My live game is shockingly bad at the moment and I can"t see why I am losing here. It might be time to leave this game alone.

TBH Steve I"m probably going with villains hand as well (would be keen to know the suits of opponent as well though). Yeah your aces are ahead and yeah one of them is suited but villain has a hand which would be smacked firmly in the face with any reasonably high/paint flop (again would be keen to know were they suited/double suited etc). I had a similar spot when I was all-in pre against Steve Redfern in the PLO at DTD (Think I had a single suited KKxx and he flipped TTJQ double suited) and i commented to Steve that I"d rather have swapped hands before the flop was dealt. Thankfully I doubled up but I"m sure only because we had a really raggy board.
I also had a turned straight in 888 PLO game a couple of nights ago rivered by flush, it"s harsh at the time but you"re favourite with 1 card left so don"t beat yourself up.
Stick at it mate, going through similar running bad spell at the mo myself, so just continue analysing, learning and improving. I"m sure I remember you have a few medals to remind you that you"re generally doing things right 8)

:-) Cheers Grant
All very true mate, just felt like a silly rant after a bad week *lol* - it is allowed I checked and everything :-)
Actually I am pretty sure I am playing OK at the moment (not my best but my tracker graph says I am +EV) and I just need to cut out a few silly mistakes I am making. Back at work now anyway so will be forced to take a break from Poker which is not a bad thing.
I have decided not to go to Ireland as there is a football game I am going to that weekend but hopefully will be back for Luton (if Blonde still want me in their team that is *lol*). I am saving the holiday days from Ireland to allow me to play the Pro/Am in London in Dec if I want too.

Going to play the £22 8pm on Sky Poker today, I qualified for £4 so that sounds like a good deal. Will also probably play the mini £3 version.
Currently 3/18 in the mini £1 re-buy as well
EDIT - Now 3/4
Busted 4th - Re-shoved with 2-2
Decided not to play the ones tonight, so unregged the £22 one expected it to refund the buyin, but it didn"t wp me.
