So September has been pretty much a diaster. I made a move up to 100PLO and didn’t run very well at all losing circa ~ $1k.  Most of the hands where 60/40’s which I was on the losing end of or coolers. I only ID’d 2 stackings that was bad play.

After hitting my 10 BI allowance I moved back down to 50PLO, but continued losing.  I forgot what a winning session was to be honest. So quickly moved down further to 25PLO where I am in profit by a matter of pennies which is a bit demorailisng.  I also failed to turn a profit in my SAS stake which I was gutted about.

Further to this I have been unable to find the time to work on my game due to my social life getting busier recently and have just been milling about playing the odd bit of 25PLO and 25NL with no real direction and not even having the time to watch vids etc.

I’ve also had to withdraw some of my roll to pay the bills which has set me back even further from the stakes I want to play and know in the long term I am profitable at.  I just don’t have the motivation to work on my game and even play much recently, I’m not sure if I’m losing my love of the game or what.

This needs to change. I’ve decided to stick to PLO, but for the rest of the month I will be barely playing. I intend to study more hours than I will be playing that is for sure at 25PLO.

Next month I’m setting up some lessons with Nowhereman from DC and in the meantime will be watching a shed load of vids, reading HH and finishing off a couple of PLO books I have.

This sounds like a really depressive post reading it through, but I’m not tilting at all, just running like crap and playing my B or C game for whatever reason.

If anyone has any tips for motivation let me know

In October, I might look to take a prop bet from someone from EMS or DC and start a mini 25PLO challenge.
