I would to say thanks to Karen for organising this challenge, it has definitely raised the profile of PLO8 on Sky. It is also a terrific test of ones game, being over such a stretch of games.
Also a mention for all the players taking part, who have been, to a man/woman(delete as appropriate), considerate and helpful throughout.
Finally I have to say that I owe all of my success to Team AJ (mainly because he told me to say so), who's humour kept me going in many a long session. His training methods may be unorthodox, but obviously work. Thanks for taking me under your wing Alan.
I might just take my profit and go to the pub and buy a few beers.
really appreciated your help for this challenge without it I think I would have given up early doors
and called it a day
Congrats on your 69%, was hoping you could have gone higher, but a great run in the end for you
so can't grumble (this is plo8 we don't grumble lol)
Will be in touch to no doubt to receive (and offer lol ) a bit more advice.
Regards Alan
I knew you could do it, had every faith in you
(don't tell anyone else but your my number 1 and fav pupil)
All those long hours grinding the £1 tables
(where chat box coaching is only available from team AJ)
has finally payed off.
Top of the leader board, where you should be.
I'll stay at the bottom at the moment and make sure no one else falls behind.
Regards Alan (plo8 future champion)
Nobody moanng, just enjoying their poker.
Nice one Ploppers.
Been a bit pre-occupied with work stuff this week, but this thread is my first port of call every morning.
Stunning numbers by 67Bhoys & Talon, to add to the impressive score by BBMike.
Winning nigh on 70% of 100 games really takes some doing, congrats to them all.
I wonder if those numbers would be sustainable over 500 or 1,000 games?
I tiptoed to 65%, aided by some clear run-good, but since then, my numbers have been a disaster. I honestly doubt I could ever do much better than 57% or 58% long term, & I'm happy with that, or would be if I had the time to get more volume in, but those boys with +69% really have done well.
Loved the thread, loved it.
Bit like you i had a decent start (64%), bad middle section, but finishing well.
Hopefully get to around 58%
On the plus side I only had one bad session @50%, and I think that plus 50% is achievable in the long term.
I have to say also that your 65% was achieved at playing the higher buy in tables, which obviously have more serious players, I mean take EON for example, your playing a whole corporation there. There are very good players at the lower levels, but it is also where the casual players dip there toes in the water, although some of my toughest games were at the 60p level. I would say therefore, that your 65% at the higher levels is quite remarkable.
Thanks all for the congrats.

Chatbox coaching FTW.
I think we've succeeded in both aims, well my two aims anyhow.
Firstly, it gave us something fun to do, secondly, it's increased the profile of the game a little bit.
Team AJ has been a roaring success, when he said he has never enjoyed his poker more and was going to continue playing this, that was mission accomplished.
Lets not forget of course, it's not over until it's over, still a lot of players going strong, I wish them all well and I'll continue to update the boards for as long as need be.
As Spock used to say, Live Long And Plopper.

Played ok for the most part, could do bettter, but the main thing is sharing tables with some great people.
Not doing the 2nd chance thingy, but will still play.
Going to try a few PLO8 Mtt's

This poker is a funny old game, 20.000 PLO8 DYMs I have played, with a best win streak of 18. Been playing NLHE DYMs since Monday and (if my memory hasn't collapsed) my win streak just finished at 17!
Nice one
Agreed its quite respectable but i know that i played badly in some parts so it could have been better.
Anyway at least i'm recognising when i need to take a short break and come back refreshed.
Oh, i forgot to mention, a run of 6 losses so need to be added to the "Its Rigged, Obviously" leaderboard.
I'll post my progress on this thread if that's okay with Karen.
