So I've never really done a status thread but I feel like its as good a time as any since I actually intend on grinding and have some set goals in mind.

So I use to play poker full time (for first half of last year I was a live fish) and had some success but since coming back home I haven't really put in much of an effort.

So far for the year I have 5k VPPs on stars (see below) however this is about to change, I plan on making a proper supernova run (at least for now). At the stakes I play at it should not take more than 200k hands so this should be at least somewhat attainable for someone of my slackness.

I plan on playing between 100plo and 600plo. Most of it will end up being zoom since nothing else really runs.

Goals

- Supernova
- 20k profit.

Along the way I will post some interesting hands as they come along and some graphs as well as some degeneracy on the golf course which is actually what will send me busto one day.

This will most likely end in me failing super hard and not putting in any volume however I think by actually making this public it might motivate me somewhat.

First mini session completed. Im going to grind a little more but got a work call I needed to address. In any case, poker is easy.

Just want to share a hand where when you have as absurd a CB/ triple barrel as me, you get paid off. FWIW villain has way more hands on me than I do him since I just switched to PT4 and didnt upload my old hands cause Im retarded. He snapped river as well.

PokerStars - $2 PL Hi FAST (6 max) - Omaha Hi - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 136.8 BB (VPIP: 11.11, PFR: 8.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 36)
Hero (SB): 254 BB
BB: 61.27 BB (VPIP: 30.77, PFR: 2.56, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 41)
UTG: 150.97 BB (VPIP: 66.67, PFR: 33.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 3)
MP: 92.42 BB (VPIP: 11.11, PFR: 11.11, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 9)
CO: 103.83 BB (VPIP: 24.24, PFR: 18.18, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 34)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A:heart: 7:heart: 6:club: Q:club:

fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 2.25 BB, Hero raises to 7 BB, fold, BTN calls 4.75 BB

Flop: (15 BB, 2 players) 6:heart: Q:heart: 8:heart:
Hero bets 12.02 BB, BTN calls 12.02 BB

Turn: (39.04 BB, 2 players) T:diamond:
Hero bets 31.31 BB, BTN calls 31.31 BB

River: (101.66 BB, 2 players) K:heart:
Hero bets 88 BB, BTN calls 86.47 BB and is all-in

Hero shows A:heart: 7:heart: 6:club: Q:club: (Flush, Ace High) (Pre 57%, Flop 100%, Turn 100%)
BTN shows 7:club: A:club: T:heart: 9:club: (Straight, Ten High) (Pre 43%, Flop 0%, Turn 0%)
Hero wins 271.8 BB

I like his call on the river (call on the flop is kinda meh). Especially when the K of hearts hits. I really only can have Axh and nothing else. His call makes a ton of sense.

Clearly 100-600 PLO is absolutely nothing like the micro stakes PLO I've played a few times
