OP: Make Penneywize Not Suck At Omaha

Quick update, a few sessions later and things are moving along quite nicely. The changes to my game over the past week have, thus far, led to rather impressive results.

While my BR stands at over $360, and thus already adequately rolled for 10 PLO, this includes a few bonuses I've collected during the past few months and I believe I'll stick the plan and just grind out the remaining BIs needed to advance.

Well that didn't take long. A <200 hand session was all it took for me to play my way (read: cold deck my way) into another 5 BIs.

I've updated the OP to indicate I've completed 5 PLO. I now have a 10 BI shot at 10 PLO, and will move down to 5 PLO to regrind if I fail to catch on on my first attempt.

Here's to hoping for some move-up rungood!

I'll be starting with 4 tables and adding two every few thousand hands until I reach 8, where I suspect I'll stop adding until I get the 40 BIs I need to advance to 25 PLO.

Seems like 10 PLO will be my home for the foreseeable future. I'm strangely excited about this, let's hope things pan out.

Here's my cumulative 5 PLO graph, for the sake of posterity:



Interestingly, around the 10.9k hand mark it is clear to see the effects of the changes I've made to my game recently.

Here's a fun hand, pretty much the one responsible for putting my BI goal for 5 PLO over the top. Any questions / comments are welcome, as usual. I let the results show here as it's pretty obvious I won the hand given the context I provided.


Reads (important in this hand): UTG is 85/50, BB is 33/27 with an aggression factor of 4.0 and I have not seen him show down a very strong hand following multiple streets of bets yet.
