I'm temporarily postponing online play because I have personal items to attend to back in the states, and they are problems not easily solved living out of the country. At the start of this year I played almost exclusively HU and Sh'd while I started tables. I made a good chunk of money off of playing regulars HU in games where they were clearly the dog and I was happy. As time wore on tho, fewer reg's were willing to play me as they realized they were outmatched. This led me to try to learn PLO, as quite a few players were making good money at it and I found PLO exciting and interesting. It rekindled my love for poker. I worked tirelessly to learn the game. I read forums, I watched videos, I subscribed to PLO centric learning sites, I hired coaches (2 of the biggest crushers in the game), I played a ton of hands at 6max and I lost. I didn't lose, I lost big, very, very big. To the point where it really stung quite a bit. So, this was the point I stepped back and decided now was a good time to take a small break and attend to some matters that I have wanted to for a while. I don't want to play live as much as I do online, but I think it will be a nice supplement and keep me fairly sharp for NL ring games. Looking forward to my return to online in a few months. GL Guys.
when did you stop playing? that graph ends a long time before this post was made but doesn't show the downswing you describe. hope it wasn't too brutal.
ReplyDeleteanyway, congrats on the success and enjoy the live games.
Hey, I lost around 50k playing 6m PLO, so it was quite brutal. The reason the graph ends here is because I didn't play much over the summer, I switched between HEM 1, 2, and PT4 often as HEM 1 would blow up, but I couldn't stand the lag with HEM 2 and PT4, and I switched computers as well. This was the last pic I had saved, so it was easiest to put it on my blog.
