PLOL

Played my longest session in a while, and it was an interesting one:



Shipped 5 buyins and then climbed back to a 1/2 buyin winner in 769 hands... standard 4 BB/100 session I guess. There are a lot of positives to gain from this session:

1. I've started to win, or at least break even at non-showdown in my last few PLO sessions.
2. I shipped 5 buyins with minimal - although not nonexistent - signs of tilt.
3. I played a long (for me) session and didn't lose focus as it wore on, instead I played even better down the line.

Now for your viewing entertainment, a couple of hands without much strategic content, but they do show just how sick I am. Some nice bluffs:

Now, if I didn't go for this next one I just don't deserve to play PLO. An absolutely perfect time to go for the naked ace bluff, since I just look so so strong... the call pre-flop sucked, but I thought the ace was suited instead of everything else. Also, I think the flop raise should've been smaller, like $44, since that's what I'd do if I had it.
