Default PLO Players, how do you deal with the insane swings?


Shorthanded PLO Online has had some of the craziest swings ever for me.

A simple solution, I know, is to not play PLO [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. How do you deal with the variance?

What kind of a roll is necessary (online) for proper bankroll management? PLO 100 ($0.50/$1.00) would need a roll of _____ .

Hahaha, I saw your chat today on some of the tables. I had a crazy day as well. Ran horrible, but the play is so bad its hard to stop. Stars needs HU tables, I'm sick of asking people to leave every 10 seconds.

Hey sc00t! You're one of the few players on PS that I won't play HU. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

My BR fluctuated from $950 to $700 to $950 to $700 to $950 all in a couple of hours at PLO100. I think I need to bump down to PLO50 or PLO25 until I have more "padding." What do you think?

Ugh ya, you def shouldnt be playing that high. I'd stick to PLO25 if your playing 6max-FR until u have a better feel for it. If your playing HU or shorter than 6, you probably could play PLO50 if your a solid player; its easier to beat those limits HU imo.

I dont even think I've played you before, why not play me HU??? I dropped 400 or so today, obv a huge donator [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. Better come get my money while I still have some.

I think for PLO25 you need a 800$ BR. I would never play PLO with less than 30 buy-ins.
