I'm not close enough to any casino to play regularly but would prefer to work on my live game. It tough to think that 4-5 players at the table are much better than me but I guess in the scheme of things if there are 4-5 weak players then it really doesn't matter.  I will definitely take your advice and will master these basic concepts and work on my game. Again, appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

    No problem. But as you said yourself right now you consider yourself average so odds are you will have 4 or 5 players who are better than you and 4 or 5 players who are weaker than you.

    As you get better those odds will change for sure. And you will find there might only be 1 or 2 players you need to avoid, maybe none at some times.

    I just find that while there are plenty of fish in the PLO world. The sharks are around as well.

    The games are still soft, you just have to notice who you need to avoid and you can all feed on the fishies. Plenty of meat for everyone to go around, trust me.

    If you ever have any PLO questions just feel free to ask. Start a thread or something and I will answer as quickly and as best I can.

    Best of luck at the tables

    I was in the Borgata from 10 - 4 yesterday.  They didn't have a PLO game going, but they had 10/20 Limit Omaha split.  That is surely my worst game.

    Weathered hearing you guys talk brings back a lot of memories.  I used to play at the Borgata mostly,Taj and Caesars in the 2-5 and 5-10 (occasionally) NL.  I used to play all the time but now not so much.  I haven't gone in probably 2 years to AC but for 3 or 4 years before that a lot, most weekends.  If you saw me you would for sure have played with me many times, small world.  There was about 15 guys who were really good and would grind consistantly at those 2-5 tables.  You remember the old poker room in the basement at the Borgata?   Take it easy.

    Haha yes, I remember when it was downstairs. It was way to small and nothing like the new room.

    Also yeah if you have played alot of $2 - $5 or $5 - $10 at the Borgata the odds are pretty great that we have played against each other.

    I'll be at the Borgata tomorrow.

    I'll have on a Titleist golf hat and will be playing $2 - $5 NLHE for most of the day.

    If anyone is down come say hello.

    I'm in Ocean City, MD for the week on a vacation with my wife.  The next time I'll be in AC is probably Monday and Tuesday next week.  Not 100%, but likely.

    I have a job interview in New Brunswick on Tuesday now. 

     

    I haven't worked in a while, and I'm not really interested in going back, but I've been made an offer that might be hard to refuse.  We have some specifics to talk about, but it looks as if I may be rejoining the masses soon.  *gag*
