There were 2 slightly interesting spots.

first we are 5/10/25. 10k deep.

Im from SB folded to me I have K996sscc i open to 75, straddle repops to 225. We have decent history together, hes quite competent on a bit of life tilt cause he has won a hand since May.

flop is T32 rainbow, 1 spade, 1 club. it goes check check

Turn is the 7c I lead for 325, he calls.

River is the J spades. Obv I have nothing at this point but I pretty much block the world so I bet 1,050. He folds TT face up, think its a bit nitty but I do have loads of 89s in my range that would bet the turn.


The next hand happened a lot earlier in the session, Im a little hazy on the card details but the action is correct.

Same reg above, hes sitting with 2.3k, I cover and random fish has 400.

Fish opens, we 3 bet, reg 4 bets. I 5 bet to 650 (pot), he tank calls, fish is all in.

Flop comes QQx, I check and reg insta pots. now its good to note the side pot has like 400 in it and he pots for 1575 or there abouts. It just doesnt make sense to does not make sense to do this with a Q but obviously if it doesnt make sense it does make sense. I call he has TJ98. We run it twice. he hits runner runner T8 for straight on first one and second one i fade.

Should be back tonight, just have a dinner to attend then Id be there grinding again. There were 2 Israeli business men who came by at 2am, they were not terrible but they are good for the game, they said they would stop by again tonight so thats something to look forward to.

Just left casino down 1.8k due to running a triple barrel and getting called by top pair no kicker. Serves me right for playing Holden

So there is a train strike in Bristol might be hard for me to get back to London to grind tonight, hopefully I am able to get in for Friday night or Saturday morning.

I don't like to give out my active screen names just incase people can search etc. I actually haven't played much on stars in a while mostly been playing on IPN.

Depend on what you consider biggest win? Are you looking in terms of session or month etc? It's probably like 10/30? I'll have to think about it a bit
Pretty sure there are no brothers in the UK..

There are a couple

Roll up at the Vic last night, no PLO games are running, i hop in the 5/10 holdem and proceed to lose 1.8k in some standard pots, nothing exciting. They open up a 2/5 PLO. I switch games cause holdem is always going to be harder than PLO and this PLO game had like no good regs. Everyone was sat with like 500 though so it was a small game. I grinded out the game winning pots at will and having no real variance, and at about 2 oclock we got 4 handed and i proceed to grind down the last 3 guys and then in 3 consecutive hands i stack them one by one as if it were a mofo tournament.

Cliffs, lose 1.8k in holdem, win 5.2k in a PLO game where no one ever sat with more than 500 and no one ever had more than 800 in front of them.

I'm interested in learning this PLO game as it seems both fun and profitable. Any recommended learning resources you think are really good?
