A few notes since it's been a little while since I updated this OP:

- I've been running fairly bad over a small sample and am behind by about 8-9 BIs. Standard shit obviously, welcome to PLO I guess.

- I am beginning to think the rake is making things tougher on me; it appears to be about 25-30% more than that of 2NL.

- Most of my time thus far has been spent studying. I've begun the 2 X 6 PLO video series on DC by Vanessa Selbst and Whitelime, taking a ridiculous amount of notes and going through the video sessions rather ponderously. I think that between this and the PLO from Scratch article series I should be set in terms of my early PLO development.

- Once I feel more comfortable with the game, I will deposit another 150$ and play 5 PLO due to rake concerns. I think this is pretty much the ideal stake to start out at. While it is unlikely I fail at this stake, in the case that I go down substantially I will probably just redeposit. 2 PLO just doesn't appear to be a good place to start out, and the 5 PLO game is reportedly incredibly soft anyway. Before I do this however I want to spend at least another 5-10k hands 4-tabling at 2PLO and keep up my learning and session reviews.

That's all for the moment, I will be putting in another 2 PLO session tonight. I think I'll begin posting my trouble hands here as well, and address new concepts as I did above as they come up.
