It's been a while!

Not the big update yet. Should happen soon though, promise!

I wanted to ask what sort of videos you want from me next. I did mentoring, I did live play Zoom. I have ideas but want to find out what you guys would like. What do you think? I do have an idea and rough framework for a huge theory series but it being huge would prob be a bit of a problem.

Hi I see all the ZOOM vids, I'm currently not so good on ZOOM.

How can I beat NL10ZOOM? I played something like 50K hands now and I'm 30BI down. I have 45BI left and don't know what to do with it. I don't feel like playing more on ZOOM.

What should I learn more to beat the NL10 ZOOM 6max?

I feel like it is some bonus game gamble machine with much tight callingstations and preflop aggro's feels like some kind of a bingo. Because checkraise as a bluf almost never works out. They call with tplk, low pockets always 1 time does not mather what sizing.
They go 40% to showdown with crap. While they don't give enough vallue if they have.

3bet as a squeeze does not work because they call QT+ and postflop they never give up, playing tricky callstation like so bluffin is not profitable. (It feels like)

The rake kills you because 1 stack win in allin is like ,9 stack winning.
AK is not profitable to play allin with in much situations because they tend to call you with 66+

Do I have to tighten up and play a fit or fold game too? Like nitty.
I don't like that actually..

What do you think?

I thought badugi would be your pick for the lol purposes, and you just want to take Manu's money.

Just to let you know: I've got a staking for some mtt's 2-3feb and the winnings will go to you (coaching). So let's hope I ship some ;)

I would like if you did a video or 2 on analysing CBet spots, this is something I really struggle with.

Hey,

Just play a solid game. You've already said a lot of what their ranges are here..

From the beginning you say they don't fold and that bluffing doesn't work. Stop bluffing -> value bet a lot more.

Secondly, you say the go to showdown alot.. Stop checking hands ahead of their range like any TP and 2nd pairs with top kicker.

They call squeezes with weak broadways -> Squeeze better broadways and take them to town postflop. AK will still be profitable if they get it in with 66+ because they fold so much equity and they are not much ahead (actually behind your range) when they stack off that.

Overall, I think you have to not tilt and play each hand as best as you can. Think it through, not just do what would work if the others did what you want them to do. People don't play like you want them to, they play like they want to.

@All: Keep the suggestions coming for videos. Cbetting was definitely on my list as well.

Here's the update I wanted to make earlier in the month but never got to since plans changed. Initially I planned on grinding a lot and make at least 300k VPPs, play only NL100 and higher throughout the year. I was on track for that but plans have changed.

The short version is: Come February 3rd I'm rellocating to Vienna to join TT's World Domination plans and will play less poker. My goal has changed to just make 100k VPPs pokerwise and may or may not climb through the stakes. Obviously having TT there will help with the learning but there will be a lot less time to get in the volume.

I kind of become a part time grinder now though never really was a trully full time grinder since I often just played enough to live in Romania which is just LOL volume. _biggrin:

The game is on!
