Thank you sir, may I have another?

So. Efforts to play through the run bad have failed. I flop broadway and get it all in figuring we're probably chopping given how much action I got. Nope, KTxx for top and bottom, K on the turn. If he flopped a set I'd understand it more but chasing a four outer? Thanks for trying to give your chips away. Sorry it didn't work out this time. Got it in with aces against random high cards on a paired flop which pre-counterfeits villain's two pair outs. Running jacks. Aces all in against JJTQ flop is K76 with two of my flush suit. Runner runner broadway including a two-out ace on the river. On the plus side I made my set. Top two pair run down by flush. You know the drill.

This caps the most precipitous drop in bankroll history which in combination with my tourney losses puts my roll back under the $200 mark and approximately $60 lower than the all time peak. I'm obviously concerned at the steep fall off but I'm not sure that I'm necessarily doing anything wrong. My buy in's are still under $2 which is less than 1% of my roll, granted, I'm buying in for many of them at one time but any single cooler has negligible effect. I know that I was not playing optimally after I took some beats and I did pull the plug before I continued doing damage. Still, I don't feel that steaming off chips accounted for the majority of the problem. Going to look over the carnage and figure out what to do next.

  1. Been reading the hands you describe, and all I can say is: whoa.

    Time to abandon PLO for the less volatile NLHE? Or keep plugging away?

  2. I'm not going to be ROTty about it. If I'm getting my money in good I don't feel like I need to abandon ship. But from a BRM perspective I'm going to see what I can do to stabilize things in the short term.
