Why do I spend all day playing $50 and $100 PLO?
Today was my usual struggle to make at least $100 and all the while I kept bouncing up 50, down 125, up 100, down 50, bugging out the whole time because I play for food, ya herd? Finally get back to even and decide to quit for the day. Get posessed by gambool demons 10 minutes later and decide to take a shot at a good looking 2/4 game. Hilarity ensues and once again a shot at higher stakes completely warps my perception and mocks my daily struggle.
Pot Limit Omaha Ring game Blinds: $2/$4 7 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: $267.60 UTG+1: $459.65 MP1: $239.10 Hero: $387 Button: $268.40 SB: $220.20 BB: $372.60 Pre-flop: (7 players) Hero is CO with 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG folds, UTG+1 calls $4, <font color="#cc0000">MP1 raises to $8</font>, Hero calls $8, Button calls $8, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 limp-raises to $23 (aces)</font>, MP1 calls $15, Hero calls $15, Button calls $15. Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($95, 4 players) <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 bets $95</font>, <font color="#cc0000">MP1 raises all-in $216.1</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in $364</font>. UTG+1 thinks forever and folds. Uncalled bets: $147.9 returned to Hero. Turn: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($501.1, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $622.2) River: 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($501.1, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $622.2) Results: Final pot: $622.2 <font color="#ffffff">MP1 Shows As Js 9s 7c</font> <font color="#ffffff">Hero Shows 4c Kd 8c 8d</font> <font color="#ffffff">Hero wins $622.2 with three of a kind, eights </font>

playing $50 and $100 PLO "for food" seems like a bad idea if you can't keep yourself from taking shots. the game is high enough variance without playing 4-8x your usual stake.

definitely some droolers in that game, esp the CO [/ QUOTE ] Look at them there implied odds youngin'!

[/ QUOTE ] I have the bankroll for $5/$10 (over 20 buyins), but most of the time I stay down in the dumps because I'm lazy and unmotivated so I'm just looking to make the bare minimum amount of money I need in the easiest most consistent manner. Sucks, I know. Also I'm a pussy and I hate large swings in the wrong direction.

A while back i paid rent/bills, bought groceries/beer grinding .25/.50 Did it for 4 months surviving just fine. I had the same problem of being to much of a puss to move up at the time screw the micro stakes haters! brag: i now play 1/2 making 4x as much money
