SH Zoom AA, CO vs SB in 4bet Pot

You've figured it out yourself. Bet bigger on flop so you can shove turn.

From all hands that you have posted lately (nl50) it seems that you are scared and unsure.
What is the reason for that?

Hm, you are probably right! The reason is - I just started my NL50 shot and after 5k hands running good, started to run bad as hell, so I'm losing the majority of hands where I think I played right, which caused me starting wondering did I play them right and starting to be scared when I need to make a move which I consider optimal.. If you play yourself, you most likely know what I'm talking about.

50-55% flop, shove turn

I know what's going on.
If this is the case, I suggest for you to move down a level for a little time, until you gain your confidence again.

I have reacted the same way as nitrol. Until recently, I saw few flaws (if any) in your game. But now there has been a succession of hands where you haven't been yourself.

If you multi-table, you could play NL50 on just some tables, and play NL25 the rest.

He is mostly playing Zoom, right?
In the beginning I would strongly suggest that you play only nl25 for a few days. Whenever you feel ready for a new shoot at nl50 do this:
Play 3 tables nl25 and 1 table nl50.
Or play just 1 table nl50, so you can guarantee a full attention at the game.
It works for me.

I like one-tabling at higher limits with full attention more than multi-tabling smaller limits. By the way, haven't Stars removed almost all incentive to "put in volume"?

I play 2 NL50 zoom tables. I could switch to 1 NL50 zoom table or 2 NL25 zoom tables for some time. Maybe will try with the first option because I have 2 buy-ins left for the shot (2 down with the rakeback). The losing strike was 9 buy-ins so that is what scares me. But I have to learn to deal with the fear sooner or later.

Playing scared is the worse....
Get your confidence back and try again.
