Some people know I have a challenge thread going on and I'm going to move my daily updates here...

https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=348969&page=9

This was the challenge but I will be continuing this in a blog.

It's a fun read so you head over there and get an update to where I'm going.

I moved over to zoom to increase my volume a bit.

Session from today...

I've only started a few days ago to build up an image... It's starting to work now... :)

This is how desperate Zoom has become? 4b shoving AK? :f_thumbsup:

I've played 3k hands and I've had 3 regs call 3b's in UTG with 89s. Games are getting really tough I guess. :)

What to do vs a monkey like me when you have AA. 22% raise cb and he still doesn't cbet and elects to pot control.

We still stack him! :coolface:

I guess he is ahead of QhJh. :facepalm:

Hope you guys enjoy the read and feel free to ask questions here or on skype!

LET THE PWNAGE BEGIN!!!!! _biggrin:

33 hand:
I hope you do at least realise he puts you on bdfds/flushes and busted oesd. Also he doesn't know if you bet or not the sets on the turn. Thus I believe you got lucky on the river paired and his call is mandatory.

Gl though.

33: Is this a standard preflop call for you?
Well, I guess with your image you always stack them with a set :coolface:

@x3 - OFC I always get lucky. You don't win if you don't get lucky. ;)

@kronenbourg - Welcome to my Blog. You will be first hand to know what I'm talking about! ;) Let's crush them at the tables!

So now I have some samples on these Zoom fools. :)

It's going to take a while to learn the ranges of Zoom regs in 2015. You can see it took ~3k hands before we start really pwning the redline. :) ABC poker is no fun.

Levelling at it's best.

https://www.weaktight.com/h/563b9322d39043c64b8b46f4

I know, you know that I know that you know that... Anyway GG sir. :)

https://www.weaktight.com/h/563b93cbd39043c64b8b4718

I guess call is better and let him bluff river. :facepalm: Bad play.

https://www.weaktight.com/h/563b9454d39043e00a8b4713

Mistake #1. DO NOT STEAL BsB's blinds. :)

Winrate now nearing my 2 months of grinding NL. :) Someone was ready to make a bet with me that I couldn't beat 50nl Zoom for 10bb over 50k hands. Maybe we'll just have to shut him up and win 15bb at 100NL over 50k hands. _biggrin:

@alonohara - Thanks! It's always nice to see a new face around! :)

It's the new thing nowadays in Zoom. Pot control.

https://www.weaktight.com/h/563d77afd390431b268b46e0

Seems like everyone is pot controlling and nobody is valuebetting anymore.

https://www.weaktight.com/h/563ac312d39043fc5e8b4624

So many bad plays and so many people just tilting against a 15% 3b. _biggrin:

https://www.weaktight.com/h/563d7876d39043e0408b4657

Zoom is tough. Regs just over adjusting. Can't handle the heat? Leave the table! Oh wait, it's Zoom... You can't leave the table... :coolface:

Hi Broke ,

nice thread (dont try to trick me, you know who i am=) ).

I the first hand would you have bet if you were villain? Is the reason, that there are a lot of gutters and 2nd pairs and draws you can call with?

How would you play the second Hand(Villains AK, vs yourself)? Would you just 4bet and call your shove off, or would you just call IP?

And in the last hand, would you fold or just call TT vs yourself?

Thanks :f_pleased:

@zoty79 - You got me. I don't know who you are! Welcome though! Message me on skype so I can recall who you are!

H1, probably bet for value against me. I don't think x/c is horrible, but with me in the big blind there is so much value to be lost. I would bet and stack off against myself.

H2, yeah jamming makes no sense but if you want to level me into calling KQ/AQ his play isn't horrible. I prob call AQ there so it's not the worst play by him. Against average reg they might fold AQ at 100nl.

H3, tough question. Against myself I probably call in this position always.

Today I tried to play some zoom after putting kids to sleep. Usually I don't grind on the weekends but I figure I need to put some volume in.

It happens. :) I can't complain because this start at 100NL has been running above EV. :coolface:

Datamining hands would help a lot here. Unfortunately we have to build up database the old way. Not really happy with my play so far but can't really do much when 90% is unknown. We'll be able to play much better with time.

What do I think about the play so far on 100NLzoom? Games have changed quite a bit since I last played here. Overall it's still a bunch of bad regs but there are a lot less laggy players than it was 2 years ago.

Not exactly 40VPIP that you guys were hoping to see. :)

Last time I played here, I was 32/28/10 so my game has developed a bit since 2 years ago.

This play is very interesting. Could you give me a tip what notes / stats in particular made you to make those calls?

Damn. This thread is getting interesting already.

More hands!

More girl pics!

Someone unleashed a beast grinder! Slowly increasing my volume. 2.2k hands is a miracle for me! :)

Gearing up for some epic months to come. I'm going to challenge myself to do 100k hands by the end of March.

100k hands * 10bb * $1 + RB is some decent moniez for only grinding 100NL.

to reach 10bb/100 you need to start winning when you are ahead; you are starting to run like BsB again!

@thazar - Long term my friend! It's supposed to even out. I'm still waiting for 300bi's EV.

Not much time lately but here are some hands to keep you guys laughing.

https://www.weaktight.com/h/5643fc1ad39043d2338b47e2

This player should realize never attempt to eat a fish bigger than you! _biggrin: It's not good for your heart.

https://www.weaktight.com/h/564402f5d39043dc128b45b3

100NL easy game. People just 5b jamming all day with AK here. I guess there are guys who call AQ in this spot? :profit:
