plo level discrepancies

[CobaltBlue 662]

Now, I realize that I'm treading on oft-touched ground that comes from beginning poker players: "I could play better at higher levels." However, I've noticed a disturbing trend in my PLO play. Over the past month and a half, my winning sessions break down thusly:1/7 at PLO $25 (-$119)5/10 at PLO $50 (+$44)10/14 at PLO $100 (+$517)When I first began playing, I don't recall having any trouble playing the lowest level. In fact, I'd often sit down and double or triple up fairly easily. Lately though, I've dreaded sitting down at those tables, because I just can't seem to get anything going. Is this too small of a sample size? (I suspect that it might be.) Or is it more likely that there's some adjustment that I've made or that I'm not making?

Review some of your hand histories. I went through a similar period where I was more profitable (in terms of ROI) at bigger tables. I reviewed some hand histories and realized that I had been playing way too many hands at the lower limits. Those games lend themselves toward loose play (with so many people seeing flops). Tighten it up (like you do at the higher levels) and see how that affects your results.That said, your sample size is very small.

Real omaha doesnt exist until the $100 level, playing the $50/$25 creates bad habits.

PLO 25 is a joke: People are literally giving you good enough pot odds (not implied odds, outright pot odds) to chase a gutshot draw to a straight flush.I'll take 50-to-1 on a one-outer any day. :-P
