Currently on my worst losing streak at £3 PLO8 dym - 4 in total and 3 counting for this challenge.
When counting streaks what happens when multi-tabling? A couple of wins at 60p and £1.15 may just have stopped me challenging for the losing streak title (still plenty of time to go though).

I would assume it is the order shown on Sharkscope.

Help 4 Heroes is a long standing beneficiary from the Mac household! I should have known really on the FT that I was facing a monster hand, a min raise from that position, but with JJ and only 10 Big Blinds left, I kinda think I did the right thing by getting the lot in. In fact I'm sure it was the right thing to do. I didn't get that far to just try and ladder another place, I wanted to win the thing! So I gottem in hoping I was flipping or that I'd be lucky. Nevermind. It was really interesting to play the game actually. My plan played itself out perfectly. I knew there'd be some serious players there and that I couldn't outplay them, I knew they'd use sharky and see that I wasn't a tournament player, so I played it super passive for 30 minutes, let em take my blinds, didn't defend once. Luckily after an hour or so I found top set on the flop, managed to double up and knock out one poor soul who hit middle set and that set me going. Played super passive again for an hour, let em steal my blinds, then hit another big hand to knock someone else out. After that, my plan of creating a super tight image obviously worked as I was at-it left right and centre! I didn't have a genuine hand for another two and a half hours, but every twenty minutes or so I went for it. Only 'orrible situation was when I was moved to a table with the top 4 stacks and me when I was about position 9 or 10 out of 15, I knew I'd be the target but luckily only had to defend blinds a couple of times whilst I had junk and before I knew it, I was moved to new table as we were down to 12 players left. Yet again, before I knew it, it was FT. so, Mission accomplished and win £100 from freerolls challenge completed! Thanks Neil, I think you're being too kind, I was lucky to be honest. I had to throw a couple of three barrel bluffs into the mix in the last couple of hours just to stick around and luckily I never got looked up come the river.

A well written and highly intelligent piece.
True knowledge is knowing what you know and what you dont know. So working on your lack of skill edge versus these players made you a harder opoonent for them to deal with.
Intelligent play plus a nice dose of luck gave you a very nice payday. Enjoy your well earned reward

Oh well the good and bad of the level i have been forced to play in has shown itself and my results are showing it.
Got my streak to 8 then the bad play kicked in. Lost 2 in a row to some of the worst play imaginable. Best example was a guy calling when not in the blinds for two thirds of his stack with KT93 which obviously ended up beating my AA45ds. Nature of the game when you play with people without the real knowledge of the game. But overall would have execpted these figures when i started.
just 0/1 from me, mainly busy on UKOPS at the moment.
I was FT-abling the UKOPS PLO and i'd sworn off playing plo8 dyms and PLO mtts at the same time, does my head in. guess it showed.
besides in the dym i was unfortunately sat to the left of a top NLHE player who was just looking for some light relief while final tabling the High Roller last night. Well played Macacgirl.
