2k hands of plo

got about 2k hands in over the weekend 4 tabling on my laptop. im so used to having dual monitors that it's a real pain in the ass trying to review hands that i missed and what not with only the laptop screen. everytime i get in a big pot im trying to run the equity after the hand is over to try and get a feel for whether i was justified in sticking it in.

i got my pokertracker omaha working so i started going over my stats on saturday. i've been purposely playing uber tight because i think its best to learn a tight style first. that way you're not getting into too many marginal situations that you don't have the skill set to deal with. over the first 2k hands i played i had holdem like pt numbers so i worked on loosening up a little bit more in lp and on the button by adding in some good 3 card hands w/ a dangler.

i lost a buy-in over the 2k stretch of hands. in reviewing my hands in pokertracker and reading some posted hands online i think the one glaring weakness i have right now is overplaying weak combo draws.

if i flop a wrap or a weak flush draw w/ an open ender im sticking it in without thought and getting into some trouble. so i'll work to correct this and will adapt a little more of a fold button in these situations when i'm met with resistance.

here are the big hands of the weekend.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1487765 - i really felt he was on a flush draw and decided that i was calling a shove on the river as long as it came clubless. this player seemed capable of shoving a broken draw on the end as well.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1487768 - i take a flop trying to crack aces and smash it. i have 63.5% equity on the flop.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1487791 - villain in this hand was pretty bad and i've been pounding on him a bit so im going all the way w/ my aces.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1487799 - hit another good flop and get it in as a 57% fav.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1487821 - not sure about this hand. pokertracker tells me i have 46% equity which is good but im lucky not to be up against a flush draw that would kill a lot of my outs and bury my equity.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1487825 - easy game.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1487830 - loose call out of the blinds. i'm pretty sure im ahead on the flop but it's probably a check/fold on the turn since im not beating anything now.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1487960 - slight fav at 52.2% but such flipaments.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1490972 - and a good example of how i'm overplaying weak combo draws. yuk and puke all at the same time. 17% equity, gross! =(

im not frustrated at all and am really having a good time playing.
