Live poker frustrations and plo

Not had much to blog about recently, hence the big gap since the last one.  Gukpt Manchester was very disappointing as I managed to bust both tournaments without a hint of going deep and also lost all three cash game sessions.  As a result, the trip ended up being rather expensive and I left with a strong dislike of live poker.  There were some good moments, including BrotherMuzone destroying a £5/5 game for about £7k.  Though I suppose the ultimate run good award has to go to Pete 'Macdaddy' McAdams who shipped the main event for £58k.  Congratulations to him (through gritted, jealous teeth haha).

Online has been going much better recently, I've even been dabbling in some hu plo, just playing whichever regs will play on ftp.  It's quite odd that about three quarters of the regs won't play me despite me having very little plo experience (this can be verified on my ptr page).  My ptr page will show that I am a good winner at hunl so I suppose that is enough to put a lot of people off.  I cannot complain about people not playing because I have been very strict on table selection recently and been avoiding players who I believe I have an edge on hu just to avoid high variance situations.  Anyway, I'm sure I am a big fish in these games but hopefully I can just run good forever!  Here's an interesting hand:

	I'm not going to attempt to properly analyse this hand because as I said, I'm a fish, but I think his bet/shove on the flop here is pretty bad with the third best overpair and the third best flush draw.  Obviously I absolutely nailed this flop with 3 pair and an oesfd, conveniently removing the 6h and the Jh from his fd outs.  This reg wasn't as good as other ones I have played because he didn't three barrell in loads of spots where it was very difficult for me to have a hand where I could call with and was mostly just playing his own hands and the board.  I ran very good in the allins which is obviously a vital part of plo so that helped.
