STORY SO FAR:
NLHE +1 buyin
PLO8 + 1.35 buyins
Stud8 58 BBs up
Stacked someone today in the 200PLO8 at Party, I made a loose PF call with TT23 in MP, flop brought T86 rainbow. BB checks, I bet, BB calls. Turn brings a 6 giving me the top bet, BB checks, I bet pot (still worried about giving a cheap low draw) and he raises. I might be a bit cautious of a possible quads here in a deep stacked game but a) I had a decent backup low draw b) his flop play didn't seem very set-like, unless he had no low and c) no way I'm doing anything but pushing in these games.
So I raise, he calls, then pushes when an 8 hits river. NOW I'm worried about 88, but he flips up 68 for a pretty woefully played underboat and I stack him.
Picked up a stack or so at 100NL at Pacific thanks to some poor players, I didn't get many cards but won a few small pots and stacked a bad shorty LAG on a TT6 flop when I held 77; he insta-pushed after raising preflop, about $30 into a $12 pot, I guessed (correctly) he had overs and my 7s held.
Had no cards at stud8 but still came out just above break even.
Vaguely hopeful a few winning sessions has arrested the nasty slide i've been on for well over a month now, although I expect the bullshit to start again ASAP if I'm honest!
