Let's ZOOM the Micros! (6max NL)

Hey, best of luck to you!
How many tables do you play at a time? Are you going to update your blog weekly?

Cheers

Thanks, starpior. I will play 4 zoom tables. I will update weekly the result and ask advices about hands when I will have troubles.

Best of luck!

Hello fellow NL2'er!
I'm too in the process of working my mind set!
I suggest you join the Get Rich or Die Tryin' - The Bankroll Challenge, since you already started a blog, you just have to opt-in and make weekly reports on the reporting thread.
Best Luck on the tables!

Hey, xavez! Good luck at the tables! I hope you will not take my stacks :P.

Today I got a hard day. Happy for my 4.7k hands, but sadly I ended break-even. I was -4BI 80% of session because I got my AK in AA twice and once in KK, once in QQ, and not even my AA hold to TT, so is very good to be break-even! I'm happy that I make the EV to owe me and not be afraid of the upcoming downswing.

I don't know what is the purpose of the BR Challenge. I already have a challenge with myself. And I would call it Get rich or LIVE trying
GL to all!

Another bad day...-2bi, EV +5bi... AK vs any pocket pair= never lucky and 3 situations of lucky river for the villain...

Feels so fkin bad, man...

GL!! Nice goals you got, but be careful to set bb/100 goals in zoom, it's a quite swingy game!

TY vonki. You really inspire me with your blogs and challenges. I can hardly achieve 8bb/100...but I want to try this.

Today I played 2 sessions. In the first I was really lucky, finished +3bi, but in the second my sets were destroyed by flushes and I didn't give them credit, so, after 3k hands I ended -1bi. After 4.6k hands, I am +2bi...

Better luck tomorrow!

Hehe, I am not entierly sure I would achieve those winrates at zoom either. I am not going to find out though, since I don't enjoy playing zoom so I stick to normal tables! thanks for your kind words, I really aprechiate it

I had 8bb/100 on my first 70.000 hands of 2NL, but now I don't know what happens...it's like I don't know how to play... Can't put up a session with 4bi+....And is sooo depressing when you play zoom and you get made hands...

When he reraise, I let him go all-in on flop or turn. When I see K on flop and he cbet, I put him on AK and let him go all-in on turn. So there it was...I played bad because if I would go all-in pfr...I would have won 0.50...but because I wanted 100bb, I got punished...Anyway, I think he would go all-in pfr because he was aggressive reg...

Here I got the trips...I think it's a pretty good hand. Maybe he got TT+, maybe Qx, but only AQ beats me and full houses. I take the risk with my 3-4th nuts and pay the price...

I really love the RNG... (Renegades from LoL LCS ♦ )

Yeah RNG is a mess. I just tried out nl2 zoom for 2 days and posted a graph in my blog. Some days you can run like a god, but some days you do whatever you want but nothing goes your way. Just be mentally strong in those bad days!

Start BR: 35.52$
Current BR: 31.60$

Next days I will try to study some theory, working on agression at zoom and try to play better.

started my session today...first hand at tables...I tried normal tables...

UPDATE: Continued playing normal hands and in 1.5k hands I ended +7.15$ which means 24bb/100.

Now I understand why vonki said she doesn't want to try winning at zoom.

OF COURSE NOT! When I was at normal tables, I was like a child who sees for the first time a clean sea. I was excited and thinking like: "Oh, look!!! I can see the fishes!!!"

This week I will continue with normal tables. If it goes well, next month I will play only normals and focus on winrate, not on volume. The rakeback is just a Morgana Witch...

Something like....FeelsBadMan :)))))

Hahahah this made me laugh out loud Can I keep this quoute and show to my other students?

Of course you can! Gladly! ♦

Well, I have to admit. Vonki`s karma around here does miracles! She doesn't coach me and I win big. Imagine if I or you will! I am like a sick man who only thinks of the doctor and gets better.
I lost a 186bb pot pfr KK vs AA and another 2 hands of KK vs fishes luck, but I didn't have problems with tilt and manage to win some nice money.
I think I will change the name of the blog to "LET'S SLOW DOWN TO REGULAR TABLES AND WIN BIG!"

How bad was my logic here? I wanted to keep his TT+ and I just called on flop...Villain is a 68/14/15.8 on 65 hands, so I wanted to let him be the aggromaniac when he starts with donkbet.

2. Here the villain is a 36/31/27.3 in 42 hands. Wanted to let him bluff the QQ or JJ, but when he bets on river I thought he might have a a set on flop...calling 25bb pfr reraise...I can still put him on KK, AA, so I folded. Any thoughts with these agressive players on river? I learnt that they don't bluff on river...

I'll call it a day...the RNG is in tryhard mode so I just decide to keep my BR. -3$ today with a lot of LUCK, so I think it's the perfect time for a pause and some movies.

Good night, everyone!
