My morning looked a lot like the New York City skyline. I took a break at about 1000 hands. Came back for another few hundred and they went SWEETLY ... err ... I mean TITE. (20PLO-High)

Was thinking about it today actually ... given the experience I had on the weekend ... I want to make sure that I'm adequately rolled.
What I'm thinking of doing is spending time where I am ... grinding it out and building the roll until I have about 30-40 buyins for 50. Then I'll test the waters and see how it goes. If I drop like 10 buyins or something right off the bat ... it's back down.
This also gives me some time to build a database on the players at the next level, and rail some games to watch for the differences in overall play. (I don't think it should be too much different ... but we'll see.)
My only other concern is the rake structure. At 20PLO, the max rake is I think 30c a pot. 1 level up that can go way higher (up to $3 on a pot) ... so I've got to factor that in.

I've decided to keep a running total of the number of times I've run my Full Houses into Quads. I may even go through pokertracker and make a backlog. Just cause it's so sick. *lol*
Feb21:
6:14am ~ Flop Kings Full of 8s ... defeated by 88 ~ Pot = $12.18 (he was shortstacked)
Feb22:
12:56PM ~ Flop (QQ)Q99 ... slowplaying the guy with the 9 ... whoops. 9 on the river ~ Pot was small thank god (kept calling instead of raising) ... something like $5.00

Yah Oats ... today I run funky though (so far.) It looks like the heart monitor of a cardiac arrest patient.

Congratulations on your great work pokerzen - it looks like the last few days have been dramatic - hope you get to "break the 3 digits this week too" as you say.

So like a true donk, I decided ... aah what the heck ... I done goot the last 2 days ... why not take 1 buyin up to the 50PLO table and see what happens. I lasted 3 hands. I was dealt AAxx-ds. 2 diamonds on the flop (yes I had A-x diamonds) and I got all in with a guy. Of course he had a straight, and of course I did not improve ... and of course I was playing like a donk anyway by that time. So yah ~ yesterday = (-$100) overall.
Booooooooo.
Booooooooo.
