More PLO Strategy Stuff
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008
No more updates on my woes at the table for now. There are 2 new articles on Pot Limit Omaha up on the site though […]
Progress Report
Sunday, February 24th, 2008
Alright. Last time I posted about the bankroll, my cash play was up roughly 1 1/2 buyins. That was the 19th, I think. So how have things been going? […]
More on Mistakes
Friday, February 22nd, 2008
OK. I’m going to go back a couple of days here. I’ve been tracking the stack level errors. That is, mistakes I make where I get over excited and play for stacks with an obviously worse hand than my opponent. The classic would be pot betting the flop with a flush draw and no help, my opponent raises the pot and I shove over the top […]
Making Mistakes
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
Poker is all about mistakes when you think about it. If there were no mistakes, there would be very little going on except the passing around of chips based on the random distribution of cards. A winning poker player makes less mistakes than their opposition. They also play in ways that encourage mistakes from their opposition and they take the maximum advantage of those mistakes.
How Aces Saved the Day
Monday, February 18th, 2008
Right. I was supposed to get on with the update on how the bankroll was going. As I mentioned in Expecting to Win, I had been running well early in the month. But then over confidence was about to bite me in the ass and aces were about to save the day.
Expecting to Win
Thursday, February 14th, 2008
I haven’t updated the bankroll numbers and such for a while now. February started well. I was playing winning poker and would have to admit to a decent run of luck. Eventually this led to one of my main problems. Getting cocky and expecting to win. Pride comes before a fall, they say. Here’s how […]
Discovering Bankroll Management
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008
Since I deposited my first $200 online a few years ago, I have learned the importance of bankroll management several times. Usually, right about when my account reached $3.55 or something similar. […]
PLO Articles
Friday, February 8th, 2008
I mentioned in my last post my habit of writing articles and then coming across examples of something where I happen to be completely ignoring aspects of my own advice on starting hands.
There’s a lesson in there somewhere, I’m just not sure what it is […]
Paired Flops in Pot Limit Omaha
Friday, February 8th, 2008
It’s official. I hate paired flops. Can’t stand them. I have more problems on paired flops than maybe any other aspect of playing pot limit omaha.
The flop is going to contain a pair roughly 17% of the time so you’d think that, really, I’d better get over this one. Thing is, I just keep getting in trouble on paired flops. […]
Poker Books
Monday, February 4th, 2008
Just thought I’d mention the next few books I’m planning to read. Having been through every book that I could find with any meaningful level of content on pot limit omaha high, where do I go from here?
I haven’t ordered them yet but the next in line for me are these 3:
Elements of Poker - Tommy Angelo
Zen and the Art of Poker - Larry Philips
Pot Limit Omaha Poker, The Big Play Strategy - Jeff Hwang […]
