Good to see the run good! Hope it continues, enjoying the diary.
I'm also a PLO player but hated the PLO games in Vegas and Macau. Maybe it's just me and not adapting well enough from 6-max and short handed but I hate the full ring games. Do you ever find this? It often feels like just nut peddling is best.
Interested about the poker chat with the young guy also. Don't you think it's bad to talk about that stuff at the table?

I can't see how it is ever good to talk strategy at the table. Don't get the fish thinking about getting better and that there is more to the game than playing their cards faceup. Thankyouplease |

BRING BACK THE TASCHE CASH FOR TASCHE I only have half of a half a clue about GT/GTO and what it is and how to apply it, but all the pros/people mentioning it here and there recently has meant it is something that I feel I should learn about properly. Not the same but a similar example; I remember when I very first started playing poker I didn't know what an "out" was but heard it mentioned a couple of times and went round tables on ladbrokes asking until someone told me |

We talked next to no actual strategy, but were talking theoretically about whether it's possible to build a perfect GTO bot.
Game theory thinking infuses the strategic thinking of the best of the best - particularly the maths guys who play HU high stakes NLHE - but it's basically useless outside of that realm. I agree that it's generally a bad thing still to be discussing at the table but we did stop and we were (at least I was) trying to talk relatively quietly. It does sorta put a mark on my head as a guy that knows what he's doing and that means I'm sometimes going to lose action but a lot of the time I'll only lose action against guys who game select well i.e. guys who don't provide me with particularly good value. When we're actually at the table I want people to fear me.

think it's just utterly pointless to discuss something so high level infront of a table full of people.
it's live, we don't want GTO we want super animal exploitation mode.

Last night I ate lots of steak, drank lots of whiskey and had lots of sex. So far today I've hung out at the pool and been to the gym. I feel incredible. Time to hit the tables.

Somehow despite feeling invincible I lost today! My god, the table was ridiculous - never seen so many arguments between the table and the dealers / floor staff - one heinous woman, Karen, brought security round twice to make sure we paid our time charges on time! I mean... wow, the Rio, huh.
Caught a couple of hours sleep, off to play $5/10 @ the Aria for a few hours, back home ~ 9AM to sleep a healthy 7 hours before the $5k 6max PLO tomorrow.

$5/10 PLO became $10/20/40, that was fun. Broke even and then lost a little when I moved back to $5/10.
Woke up at ~ 3.30 for the 5pm start in the PLO $5k 6-max. Happy with my sleep timings. Made day 2 with 33k, average is i believe 48k, blinds coming back at 400/800. Gonna get a good sleep and a workout in tomorrow morning before we restart.

Busto the $5k 6-max, 6 off the money, sigh, there were probably a couple of spots where I made small mistakes but I made a couple of great plays (imo) and overall played pretty well. Bustout hand was 9865hh vs AK72cc allin on a 742cc flop, hit the turn but a club came on the river.

WTF is this place? Felt fine after busting the 6-max - realized later that I'd made a mistake on my bustout hand but nonetheless felt ok. Have not left my hotel room since I got back. There's just a sense of despondency that this place can give you... I'm still up on the trip but I feel.... so very isolated.
