blonde poker forum

I just played my third PLO tourney on Betfair and won

only 24 runners, but a win nonetheless (I made FT on both the previous ones, but didn't get close to the money)

is there anyone out there who'd be prepared to take a look at the history and tell me if I played well, or as I suspect, ran well?

What was the buy in and how much did you scoop?

$5 +0.50
I won $60

hardly life-changing I know, but it's where my online poker is at the moment


I appreciate that this is a big ask for people - maybe I should go through and try to pick out hands that made a difference?

If you get the major hands up im sure someone will look at them for u.

A win is a win mate, nice going :)

Well, there was this one.... a major piece of luck that kept me in

overall I kind of like PLO because it seems to have less maniacs in it - early stages we seemed to see almost every flop without any raises, and often got to the turn without much expense
Late on, around the bubble, i stole blinds with a sense of impunity and can't recall a hand where anyone tried a re-steal

But then this was only my third time...
