cap plo is killing me

after my quick $200 score during lunch yesterday i've dropped close to $700 playing 1/2 $80 cap plo. (down close to $500 overall) i did however make a little over $400 playing holdem last nite but it still stung basically because i know i was donating and playing horribly in the plo games. i played at lunch today again and got stuck even more but made a nice comeback at the end. i enjoy the games though and they are incredibly soft, im just playing as incredibly bad. the good news is that i think i know the adjustments i need to make to absolutely kill the game at this limit.

1. tighten up a smidge pre-flop (i think im around 26% vp$ip right now but closer to 20% is probably optimal)
2. quit 3-betting all but monster hands, especially out of position
3. stop c-betting completely unless i hit
4. zero fps
5. only stack off with top two + re-draws or better

it's a little cookie cutterish but i think it's probably good enough to earn a good buck. most of my losses have come from assuming oponents will fold but im getting called down by just ridiculous shit like top pair and one guy even called my turn c/r cap with a bare nut flush draw when he wasn't even close to being committed. so, stop bluffing, start value betting. i also had a guy call down three streets today with no pair, no straight draw and a 3 hi flush draw. games are good.

i'll play tonite, probably mostly holdem though. i finally got my holdem manager hud stream lined and it's fucking awesome. i feel like a new man with it and it's definitly going to help improve my game.
