Brutal swongs

So this is just today and yesterday at PLO. Look at those 15 buyin swongs baby. The first 90% of it is 2/4 plo, then the brutal 3.5k straight loss near the end is 5/10 cap PLO with me tilting pretty bad and playing poorly in general and the quick upswing at the end back to even is 5/10 plo. I’m really disappointed in myself for tilting and I don’t do it often but I’ve noticed it happening lately when I lose a couple big pots in row which happens pretty frequently in plo so I’m trying to figure out ways to avoid it in the future. I’m thinking either some sort of stoploss or 5 minute break every time I lose a grand or something is probably best but both of these are easy to come up with but hard to implement when I need them most.

Yesterday started out great with me up 8 buyins 4.5 hours in to the day or so and I was all excited because it was going to be my first big day at 2/4 plo but the last 30 minutes was just brutal ending in me giving back 5 buyins in spots I think were pretty standard but not so sure. Example.

Today I started off down 3 buyins without anything too interesting happening besides this hand where I got bluffed. I’m thinking I should probably just be check calling or check folding this river as I have the 2nd nuts & blocker to the 3rd nuts so it’s hard to get paid anyways. I then tilted some off at cap playing poorly & getting owned in general then took a break and came back later tonight and played a bit of really good 5/10 plo games. At 5/10 I find I play REALLY REALLY good and table select really well and make very player specific plays. My concentration is also 200% better because the stakes are higher. The same thing tends to happen to me in hold’em. I talked about this last time but I really need to work on table selection and concentration skills when playing 2/4 and below.

I signed up for 2 hours of coaching with michaelsc from deucescracked earlier today so I’m hoping he’ll really be able to reduce my variance a bit and definitely increase my winrate. I’ll let you know how it goes. Happy swongs!
