Up to about 50k after getting it in pre with AAQTss vs AKJJds. So, only play AAxx in PLO tournaments.

I mean, this is genuinely not super far off of GTO tbh. If you watch a final table of an 8 or 9 max PLO event it is incredibly slow because your ranges are so narrow. With no Antes there just isn’t incentive to raise light.

Ya this for sure which is why I think plo is a dumb tournament game. It’s so much better as a Cash game.

But we have antes.
PLO tourneys are pretty boring. Once we made day 2 of the 1500 a few years ago, no one was playing anything other than AAxx KKxx. I made the final three tables and busted the first hand in an 80/20. /coolstorybro

Pretty much three hands of note.
Lost AIPF with KQJ8ds vs small-stacked aces.
Won with AAJ8 against a guy who flopped two pair when I hit running eights for trips.
Raised with QQ33 in LP. BB defends with AQ64ds. Flop comes Q42. She donks. I jam. She calls.
I’ve picked up a few small pots to help along the way.
One guy at my table has dubbed me “the expert” based on my play and ability to count the pot. Loose player to my right has a monster stack, but he is very predictable and had a tell for nutted hands. To his right is a guy with pro-ish vibes from Maryland. I feel good about this lineup. I need to control the size of the pot and pick good spots for bluffing, using my image.
Of course, this is PLO, so I can be out in two hands.
I could pay for a massage or I could whip out the massage gun and not pay. All this walking makes calves hurt.
You MUST be Kessler. Come on!

I disagree with Kessler on willingness to stall and rule changes to create more action.
Table change curse and I’m out 100 from the money, but I think I played well.
One change at the Rio is that there are more male masseuses working.

I just don’t feel anything emotional right now. I don’t think I played far from the best I am capable of after the first few levels. There’s no hand I really regret.
Going to figure out what I want to play tomorrow.
Seems like it should be 1500 HORSE or cash.
1/2/5 Big O.
Early in the session. I check A36JK with four spades OTB.
5 players to a flop of 259 with two spades, giving me the nut low draw, a nutter gutter, and king-high spades. Checked to me. I bet 25 and get two callers.
The turn is an offsuit 6. I bet 100. Old man calls in for 95. Second player calls with 160 behind.
The river is a 9. The player not all-in checks. I go for either thin value or a demibluff, putting my opponent all-in. Villain tank calls. My pair of sixes beats his threes for high and we chop the low.
The old man shows A577x to take the main high and I get quartered for the main.
Lol, I just took down a pot preflop.
Fish at my table is talking about how he made $4 million in four days on an $89k investment in a stock called AABB that jumped from half a penny to 68 cents.
89k into half a penny…. That’s a lot of pennies
