Breakeven...and it never felt so good!

Dropping 16 buy-ins before figuring out a profitable way to play this game was painful. One the plus side that's pretty much enough FTP points for a months CR subscription just there, plus about 5 buy-ins of rakeback, so profitable rather than breakeven ;-)

Now to fix my Rush PLO game...similar story - dropped 12 buy-ins in the first 634 hands (ouch!) and have recovered to "only" 3 buy-ins down.

Less spew pre-flop (i.e. not getting AIPF with AQ btn vs BB etc.) and generally tightening up.

Also I was more inclined to believe people on later streets/less inclined to try to blow people off one-pair type hands since I was getting called 3 streets with 2nd pair etc. Also tightening up pre-flop meant I stopped making 2nd best hands so often at showdown!
