UPDATE:

I'm off to a good start. I've had my first opportunity to play. I had a day off from Uni on Tuesday and played again on Wednesday Evening (times in Australian time). Managed to put in about 900 hands each day. Cleared a $100 bonus, which is also good.

I'm at +$3051 over 1767 hands, with a VPIP of 25.5%
$2550 is from 200PLO, and 500 from PLO8. That's because about 75% of the hands are high only. There isn't always a Hi-Lo game running on my site of choice, and even when there is, it's only 1 table out of four.

HANDS:

I'll start on a happy note. BTW, the hand converter is not working! If someone can tell me how to work it to post Omaha hands I would be entirely grateful

HAND 1A)
AAxx is still the winningest hand in Omaha. You just need to play it judiciously. Here I had an opportunity to get 1/4 of my stack into the pot pre flop and the rest of it in on the flop. I know, I said I wouldn't play $400PLO. But villain had been tilting on my 200PLO table and was a total fish so I chased him down and it paid off.

Don't ask me why he called the flop.

HAND 1B)

Now for the tricky hands. I think I had to felt the flop here, what do you guys think? I had AA owned, and I was pretty unlucky to run into a top set JJ in a raised pot. I still had .43 equity there, and with the fold equity I had, I think I had to felt the flop.

HAND 1C)

This one is really tricky. I have a set, and a gutshot to a nut straight. Villain is a winning multi-tabler, and we have mutual respect. I'm almost certain he has 68xx. But the crucial question is what is the xx? It's possible I had the best hand on the flop, but I might not have, and I couldn't see him folding the nut straight. And on the turn, it's a huge decision for a lot of chips, and I just couldn't determine whether I should call or I should fold. Against a bare 68 I had the equity, but against a hand with good redraws I was in trouble. Given the rainbow flop I couldn't see him paying off on a board pair. But perhaps the implied odds were just there for a call... I'm still agonizing over this one
