Whoops, not been able to update this for a week, I've had some things to sort, you know, stuff.
I've played every night though, except when working, & I've kept all the numbers, so I'll get started with the daily numbers, then do my blathery bit afterwards.
One minor problem is that I've started to play a bit of PLO8 cash some nights, so this muddies the numbers slightly.
The "Bankroll" figure I quote every day is my exact closing balance after the last session. That will continue to be the case, so overall, the numbers will remain accurate. Sort of.
lol, I admire your pedantism... most people would have just put up some summary numbers. Not TK, no, he must show numbers from each and every day, even if it takes him half a day to type it all in
anyway, I'm interrupting this number fest with some words. about numbers.
in the DYMs I play with you, you ony ever seem to bet pot, or not at all... Is there a reason behind it?

That's half my problem, I have to do it properly, or not at all, so yeah, all the numbers need to be Posted.
Amaing what a difference daily figures gives me, too, it improves my discipline no end. I've not updated for a week, & whilst I'm still £140 or whatever ahead in March, I've slipped back a good few quid this week, & had not realised. Some of that - £20 maybe - was playing cash, to be fair. I suck at cash. As you know......
I mostly bet "pot", yes. Sevewal reasons really.
1) I'm generally 6 or 7 tabling, so I don't have time to mess about typing in odd amounts. It makes very little difference at this level, to be honest.
2) These play so shallow, especially 4 handed in Level 7 up, that it just makes sense to pot it. If I were playing a well-structured, long tourney, then no, I would generally (not always) bet less.
3) I'm very much swimming against the tide with this "you MUST only bet 2.2x" nonsense.I don't buy that in shallow structures & fast clocks.
4) In PLO8, we are NEVER far ahead, 60-40 if we are lucky. (TWICE, as there may be 2 pots). So I'm quite happy, at the later blind levels, to take pots pre-flop, uncontested. I never lose if they all fold pre-flop. Ever. OK, if we were playing 50 Bigs deep, that's different. We are not. I don't want to price folks in, even if I have a monsta-wonsta. Just fold lads, you know it makes sense.
MOTHER called me once last week when I potted it. Disrepectful, that. Bang out of order. As it happens, I had misclicked, & had total spanners. First time I'd ever done that. No, honest, it was.

1) in general, I agree
2) I feel that there are occasions where your opponent simply wont call unless they "have it" even if you bet less. for example, you isolate alimper pre, and the flop is QTT rainbow... or what about when you want to get thin value. they are examples when I might bet less than pot.
3)you might well be right, in PLO8 DYMs at least. my view is - how often do you see people fold to min raises when the blinds are big? is it alot less than when you 3.5x it? i think its pretty similar. people generally go over the top or fold?
4)fair point. not post flop though? you could have the nut high and low. would you still bet pot??
