April Update

Pokertableratings.com (PTR) no longer supports PS! This is such a shame seeing as I used it frequently to check all sorts of stats. I did however manage to find some interesting information on there before they discontinued tracking PS hand histories.

According to PTR around mid-april, I was the 3rd biggest winner at $0.01/0.02 PLO with an impressive win rate of 21.15BB/100 hands. Its still missing about $150~ worth of winnings though.

What I don't understand though is the person below me played 42 hands and won $298. At the microstakes that is unbelievably crazy. Even if he did win 1 max buy in for every hand that he played (42x$5 = $210), he still wouldn't make how much he made. He must have been on some mad heater!

As far as April's results are concerned, I hadn't really put much volume into playing at PS and when I did play, it was usually just short sessions. I think thats maybe why my winnings aren't that high compared to other months. I'm also playing more and more PLO H/L or PLO8. I'm starting to really enjoy split pot games, they're fun to play and much more complex as opposed to their high-only counterparts.

I also started playing at Titan Poker, solely because I signed up with twoplustwo and if I manage to accumulate 1,250 Titan Points, I can get 5 free twoplustwo books. This is my main objective at the moment.

I've played about 1,000 hands of PLO and after some sick coolers and bad beats, I almost busted my bankroll. Afterwards, I decided to concentrate on PLO8 due to the split pot nature of the game and the huge amount of rake it can generate (rake = points). I've played about 3,000 hands of PLO8 and have managed to slip into a nice profit margin. I've made half of my target number of points so the books should be mine soon.
