Tbh, I didn't even bother to try Pokerhands.

I had to try that zoom format. It doesn't look difficult at all. First hand I had Flush Royal, it could be one of parameters ofc. You should come as well to NL25SH NLHE. I play it atm and it is very soft. I am luckbox too ofc.
I had one coaching maybe 2 weeks ago, but my internet is laggy and it is tilting to use joinme/skype with it.
If you like maybe we can do sweat session when I go back home where I do have decent one.I'll be back on NL25 soon. I managed to immediately lose all 3BI I had won in my first session to some traumatic and epic coolers, but still finished 1BI up after 1K hands, which is OK.
I'm off to Oxford to teach on a graduate course tomorrow afternoon, leaving poor old mrsjb alone with the beasts. I hope she's OK. Number two son really is a little tosser atm. I may be able to play some poker while I'm away, but I'm not entirely sure. It's a mathematical modelling course, so I have to spend the whole week guiding a group of students towards something sensible that they can write a report about. I'm hoping it will also involve lots of free beer and curry, as I specified this as one of my 'Special Dietary Requirements' when I was asked.
As I wrote above, currently I am not able either because my net is a piece of shit. Modem to be precise. I mentioned it as something in future, maybe 2 weeks from now.
Anyway, add me as a friend if you want session in the future, I'll be glad. You won't be ofc when you hear my English speaking skills.
). This has also been interesting. First session, I managed to persuade myself that bluffing a lot is what the cool kids do on NL10, and spewed off 7BI. After a bit of soul searching and reevaluation, I got myself sorted out, played a game that I've been very happy with, and ran 10BI below EV, and that doesn't take into account the amount of CUNTFLAPPING that I've had to put up with. My opponents have also shown that set mining has become very last year, and have started quads mining instead ('Nut full house! Yessss! Oh!!!' Can't post it because it would be whinging.). As my BR evaporates, I start questioning why I'm doing this, but, after beating myself up for playing badly on the first day, I've actually been congratulating myself for playing well since. I've had to ask myself the question, 'Can I have gone from beating Rush NL50 to being a Zoom NL10 fish in the course of a year?'. It seems hard to believe. I do think that the rakeback makes quite a difference. A flat 27% on FT was just so nice. Rakeback on stars NL10 is completely shite.
