Welcome to the wonderful world of variance. PLO is the best game to make you immune to tilt. It’s all suck outs all the time.

I’ve had so many big pairs cracked in the last few days. I lost 70% of the time with AA-QQ. Just won’t hold up to small pairs that hit sets or get the miracle card that makes a one liner on the river.
We are playing the hits…next up “cash out curse” then our new hit “Online is rigged, re-re-re mix”.
but but Existence is Pain! Mr. MeSeeks!

I worked in the product department of two of the biggest sites for the better part of a decade. I always find the “poker is rigged people sucked out on me” so strange.
Like are you playing against bots? 100% certain. Are people colluding against you in PLO? Likely. Is there a supeuser who can see your cards? Very unlikely, but maybe. Is there a code that lets your opponent hit two outers on the river but never you? I don’t think so buddy.

As someone that’s played exclusively PLO for ~10 years, I can tell you this; it’s like being manic depressive. When you’re running pure it feels like you’re a God and can do no wrong. When you flop big wraps+fd and lead, you actually make them. All the 60/40s go your way. You win double digit buy ins in a session and it’s all you can play after that.
And then you hit a downswing.You get all in pre with premium ds Aces and get them cracked by a weak suited Ace. You flop set over set and get runner runnered for heaps. You lose every flip ish pot that matters for as long as you can remember.
Downswings are brutal live when you play 20-30 hands an hour. But live PLO players are generally like pre BF HE players. Been playing the 2/5 on Ignition for a few weeks and the games are good / I’m running good.
Welcome to the great game of Pot Limit Omaha! Now, you can never go back.

I just had a guy limp in MP and call a raise with 3777 rainbow. Eff stacks of 100 in 2/5 6 max plo. Legit the first time I’ve ever seen that.

They thought they had trip 7s???
Seen it a bunch on stars zoom of late. Not a “lot,” but probably once a day I see them reach showdown, so God knows how often they’re actually playing them. A few months back at 100z I had a guy get in a full stack with 444Q.
They sure did after the flop. Lol

I was playing live one time and had T998 in a five-way three-bet pot. Flop comes 994. Guy with AAxx bets. I flat. Another guy behind me raises. AAxx folds. I got it in against what turned out to be A444ss. He was sure he was against two 9xxx hands.
Most of the guys who play trips in their hand are idiot stations, but some are aggressive types who overvalue blockers and their ability to push people off of hands. They also get off on bluffing and showing bad hands.
These Bovada PLO games are extra juicy right now… I’m definitely on a heater, but I’m seeing wild shit every night. Step 1 - make the nuts. Step 2 - Pot. Step 3 - they call with top pair.
I played a plo sng many years ago on stars and saw AAK7 vs KKK7r aipf. Im sure it happens a decent amount, but only time ive ever seen someone drawing dead preflop.
