Tooooooo busy

I better get caught up here, haven't posted anything for quite some time(sorry JB). Between work, family and poker, I've had little time for anything else. Even my Forum participation has been lacking. I see a few threads that I want to get into, but then just don't have the time.

I've started to get back into NLHE again and it has definitly been fun. I've been digging through alot of the archived 2+2 small stakes material and have absorbed some great stuff. Some new, some old and alot of refreshing of idea's, but very helpful for sure. Coupling that with my increased player reading ability which has grown fairly strong, I've had some great success.

Constant aggression has been the key. Almost no limping preflop, reraises in position, postflop reraises w/air, and river valuebets have all contributed to a 20bb/100 in 25NL. I know it's micro, which makes it much easier to control, but I feel good about it regardless.

I had an awful PLO8 session last night multitabling $25's. I was down 4 buyins! I never drop 4 buyins for crissake. But I couldn't buy a draw. One player in particular was frusterating the hell out of me. No matter what, he was in a hand. I'd raise in the CO w/AA310s, he'd call in the SB. Flop would come 269. I'd have aces, nut low draw and nut flush draw. We'd get it all in on the flop. He'd have 668Qrainbow. Turn and river would come runner runner JJ. Not just once did a similar scenario occur, but countless. No matter what, he'd be involved, and his absolute garbage hands would turn into the nuts. Value betting would turn into counterfeiting. It was endless and excrutiating.

Another hand that I got super pissed about, and unfortunately kept me at the tables longer(thinking I could catch up because they were awful and I was running cold), was something that was mind boggling to me. How does he make this call. It's barely correct, but he doesn't know that. 1 of 4 buyins.
