Not the result I wanted this time. Ran QQJx double-suited into AAxx PF caught the set but he made the flush. Probably could have done better. Still looking for an Omaha tournament staker.

Lost AIPF with KKxx vs. AAxx me on the Button him in the CO. The villain was of course the most LAG player at the table making it a super cooler. Oh well better luck next time . On a side note I am still looking for a backer for small to mid-stakes MTT's in PLO.

Always nice to win them. I have a pretty good knack for getting it down to the final 3 after making the FT. On a side note if there are any interested I'm looking to be staked for any and all Omaha Hi tournaments.

Bejamin1 on Stars to check my stats on OPR, just started playing tournies again so flip to view 2007 to see results. Very small sample.

I've been playing PLO since december and I appear to be going nowhere fast. I need a coach to help me understand how to really crush this game. Please PM me so we can work out the details. I'm sick of the micros and I want to get better. I may also have the worst luck in the universe but thats besides the point. Anyone can beat these stakes if they fix their leaks right?

It is as the title implies. I am simply stuck on my Omaha game and don't feel like I'm getting any better at it. I have been a consistent winner in the low stakes and got all the way up to 100PLO and have since been on a torrential downswing to the point where I am just barely rolled for 25PLO. I am very frustrated with myself and with this game at this point in time. I will do whatever it takes to turn this around and become a real winner in these games. I believe that I have the ability to beat this level and all the way up to 200PLO. What I seek now is a coach/mentor who can help me get there. I am sick of playing like crap and not seeing things I probably don't understand. Anyone who is interested and experienced with respect to PLO please contact me and we can work out the details.

All-in luck graph since January 1st 2008. Pretty depressing for a 50PLO and now 25PLO player as a result of the downswing. Hoping it will get better and also doing my part analyzing all my all-ins and looking at spots where its better to flat a large flop bet and then jam safe turns rather than jamming flop etc. Keep in mind this all-in graph counts negatively the high number of times where 80-90% of a stack is invested on the turn and then theres a small all-in call on the river when I've already been sucked out.

I know my blog is a lot of downswing lately but thats pretty much what I've been experiencing so sorry if its depressing guys . Cheers.

*Edit -- Just thought I'd tack on today's results. Sustainable IMO this isn't even running good... just not running cold.
