Thanks, everyone, for your feedback.

I just downloaded a free trial of PokerTracker, it only tracks 1000 hands, which I know is a useless sample size to analyze, but even so ... here are the stats from my bad spell:


----------------------------------------------------

.50/1.00 Omaha Hi-Lo Limit

Total hands: 819
Vol. put in pot: 22.47%
Vol. put in money from SB: 29.25%
Won $ WSF: 24.35%
Amount: -$72.97
BB/100 Hands: -8.91
Went to SD: 40.22%
Won $ at SD: 50.46%
PF raise: 1.46% (this rather surprises me, Weak-tight?)
Hi/Lo won: 6.23% (Hi)
Hi/Lo won: 2.44% (Lo)
Hi/Lo Scoop: 4.15%
PF aggr. factor: .07
Flop aggr. factor: .40
Turn aggr. factor: .74
River aggr. factor: 1.32
Total aggr. factor: .39
Folded SB to steal: 0
Folded BB to steal: 0
Attempt to steal blind: 0

----------------------------------------------

I'm not sure if this tells you anything, but what I do find curious is my weak limping, followed by increased aggression as the game went on. If I was running so bad ... shouldn't the agression go DOWN on each street?

I can partly explain this by mentioning I am very fond of betting strong draws ... but that doesn't explain the river aggression.

Overal analysis: Weak tight preflopper / post-floper steamer?

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Best,
Zim

(PS Regarding the 6 hands in 6 hours for PLO8. As I am a Limit player, that was an experiment. I read an article over at Pokermafia talking about how premium hands consisted only of 4 co-ordinated low cards, or 4 co-ordinated hi-cards, no-pairs. So I took that advice literally. Those hands don't come by very often ...)

(PPS I come from a low stakes, NL background. After my abysmal Omaha lark ... I jumped back into the $25NL tables at Party and pumped the Omaha br back up again.I feel a little dirty ... but what can you do? Also of note, I can't say for certain, but all this talk of waiting for nut hands seems to have improved my NL game ... go figure.)
