I was studying for vector calc today and decided to take a break and play some micro PLO games because I was bored. I'm still learning the game so I only play $5 1c/2c for fun more than anything, but I still try and learn from my mistakes. Here are a few interesting hands that transpired today during a very short 45 minute or so session in which I made about 3.3 BI. Feel free to critique:

1) http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/281265 - I don't know if this is a good fold or not on the flop, but after one call I thought it'd be best to drop it with little chance of improving and a good chance of another pot sized lead on the turn.

2) http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/281266 - Here I thought he might have been making some sort of play with an A3hh hand and that the other guy was just drawing or calling down a weaker Q. I thought I had the side pot on the turn so I just put him in. Should I just fold this on the flop, especially with another pla<x>yer yet to act behind me who is getting a better price to draw if I call?

3) http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/281272 - I think the raise on the flop is standard, and on the turn I don't think he has a boat if he isn't raising my lead, but should I still be potting with a pair on the board here?

4) http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/281280 - I think that this one was just awfully played by me from the get-go. I should have just folded pre, but as played I thought I had to lead out on the flop. I thought I could 3bet here for some reason, and then I guess I pretty much had to call the shove on the 4th bet for that price. If anyone could comment on my flop action as played please do.

5) http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/281289 - I shouldn't have led out on this flop and probably should have folded to the raise, but I kept going on the turn because I thought I picked up a lot more outs for a good price.

6) http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/281293 - I think this one is pretty standard, but if I'm wrong please let me know.

In other news, I still haven't found my missing pants and the citations haven't come in the mail yet, but I am hearing that the school sends the parents a notification of the arrest because it's a violation of the school code of conduct or some bullshit (even though it was off-campus and I'm over 18). I'm going home this weekend and haven't told them yet, so it should be an interesting weekend if those letters do in fact get sent before I get there...

Sick life.
