Thought I'd start the month with some PLO. 4-tabling short handed was a little rough to start with. Didn't cause me too many problems with hands, although I stacked off stupidly once (overpairs are -EV). Generally ok.

Opening Balance: $1 294.69

Did not play well at the start. Table selection was poor, so I had to deal with a couple of aggressive players who were potting it light (sounds good, but I get too nervous in PLO to gamble that much). My best defence against them was reraising or checkraising with otherwise modest hands.
I played better in the second half of the session, earning back almost all of the two buy-ins I lost. This was when I started playing back at the maniacs but not at the TAGs when I had nothing.
UPDATE: Won $4 at 50PL 5CD. Balance now at: $1 294.44

Closing Balance: $849.48 (+$39.80)
Running Totals: +$77.90/419

Two important hands in this short session. The HH for the first one is a little screwed up (damn you FTR) so it might not make sense. I'm really only looking at the position on the flop anyway.
Button ($34.15)
Hero ($37.25)
BB ($24.20)
UTG ($21.25)
MP ($14.20)
CO ($16.50)
Preflop: Hero is SB with Th, Ks, 4h, 8c.
2 folds, CO calls $0.25, BTN calls $0.50, Hero completes, BB raises to $0.75, CO calls $0.50, BTN calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.50. Questionable, but at 5:1 I can have a little look
Flop: ($2.50) 6c, 7h, 5h (4 players) Flopped a straight 8-high and presently the second nuts. My hearts don't really count as a redraw so this is it. A ten-high flush is pretty weak, although it gives me a good shot against a bigger straight with no hearts. I'm relying on nobody hitting anything.
Hero bets $1.25, I don't expect this to take it down although it might. I plan to pot any non heart, non pair turn. BB folds, CO calls $1.25, BTN raises to $7.85, Hero raises to $27.65, CO folds, BTN calls $9.55 (All-In).
To give the villain some sample hands and get a percentage: (the % is my chance to win)
Set + 8 + FD (6d 6s 8h Ah): 33%
Set + FD + 2 overs (6d 6s Kh Ah): 42%
8 + 9 + 2 over (9s 8d Ah Kd): 42%
Two Pair + 8 + FD (6d 7s 8h Ah): 45% (10% tie)
Set + 8 + 1 over (6d 6s Ac 8s): 54% (8% tie)
Set + 2 overs (6d 6s Ac Kh): 63%
Two Pair + 8 + 1 over (6d 7s Ac 8s): 70% (10% tie)
Two Pair + 2 overs (6d 7d Ac Kh): 80%
Now the more difficult question is what can I put in his range? I've seen him play 2-pair like this and I think he plays a little slower with the made straight (esp with made straight and A/K flush draw) so I'm putting him on one of the middle hands like Two Pair + 8 + 1 over or naked Two Pair.
Turn: ($40.95) 6s (2 players, 1 all-in)
River: ($40.95) 8d (2 players, 1 all-in)
Final Pot: $40.95
He turned over 3467 no flush draw for a full house on the turn.
Hand 2:
CO ($34.15)
Hero ($37.25)
SB ($24.20)
BB ($21.25)
UTG ($14.20)
MP ($16.50)
Preflop: Hero is Button with 6c, 4d, 4c, Jh.
UTG calls $0.25, MP calls $0.25, CO calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, Passive blinds, take a flop with the pair and 64 SB completes, BB checks.
Flop: ($1.50) 4h, 8d, Ad (6 players) Bottom set, no straights, diamond flushd raw available
SB bets $1, BB calls $1, UTG calls $1, MP calls $1, CO raises to $2.25, Hero raises to $12.2, Too much value for flush draws. Bottom set is nothing like strong enough to not raise. Trying to win it now SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, MP folds, CO calls $9.95.
Turn: ($29.90) 2s (2 players) Really helps nothing. If he has A835 or something, GG.
CO checks, Hero bets $24.8 (All-In), CO calls $21.70 (All-In).
River: ($73.30) Kh (2 players, 2 all-in)
Final Pot: $73.31
He flipped 77K3 with a NFD. Thank you for the money!

Fairly nitty play again. Caught a lucky full house to win a big pot but other than that I played tight and solid, using my image and applying pressure to the weak players (including the guy with the 4 BI stack). I noticed when I opened the table that three of the players had over $50 and one was close to $100, which either means sharks massacring fish or crazy action.

BB had 7s As Tc Kd, so I caught a four-outer on him (three jacks and one king). My read was way off here. I just didn't believe he had the case ten.

Played some more PLO for fun. Table was very short, HU against two different villains (one of whom was a very profitable weak-tight postflop player, the other a calling station, although I didn't find any hands against him that I was happy to bet strongly).

Good session. Played tight, only got a few hands (two full houses and one nut straight) so I had to use my image to my advantage. A few steals in position against the right opponents (and one hero call on the river - well, a $0.25 bet into a $3 pot with with fourth pair) and I come out as a winner.

If I'm going to play more PLO I should start keeping records same as for NLH. No buying PTO at this point, but maybe after Christmas. Nut peddled more than I usually do, except for against one extremely bluffable opponent. Profitable session.
Unlike the HORSE SNG. Played well in the early Hold'em and O8 levels, climbing from T$1500 to ~T$2500. Then it went to hell. Threw away a few hundred in the first Razz hand (rolled up trips for the lose!) when I forgot it was Razz. One big hand of Stud8 saw me call with a 76low and two pair for high with both villains showing modest boards, only to have them turn over perfect hole cards (three spades for a flush and A23 for a 6532A low). One missed OESD in the next hold'em level and I was reduced to putting it all in with K5s.
