U don't think I played it well? Or should I have ChickenDave'd the flop and x/b?

Dropping down coz I'm not rolled for it yet and if I was to drop what I won today (even tho it's only like $360 or we) I'd be pretty tilted! Will play again barring a 50 disaster on Sunday when there's some fish around...

I assume he means it's just relatively standard?

Gl at 100 if you shot again.

No i would have played it the same, its just that you got supremely lucky to stack him so i wouldnt be saying i owned someone in that situation but its w/e.

Yaya i see, i just wouldnt be able to drop down after winning at the next limit, i would just yolo it up and take another shot today but i have more than most

Yeah spose it's a standard hand, just happy to be winning a stack at 100, probably a bit too happy lol.

If villain doesn't catch the ace (or king) on the river, he doesn't get villain's stack, right?

Would you also say he got lucky in hand 9 to be up against top 2 and bink on the turn, and villain had a strong enough hand to call down? (also he binked an offsuit 8, which is like the perfect card, much more difficult to get paid off if he hits a king or 8 of clubs)

So you're mixing zoom and reg tables or you're done with zoom completely?

I had 15 bi's fwiw, obvs still not enough! Life roll ain't great, partly the reason I'm not sticking with 100nl just now. In time, in time!

Yup I don't deny that hand 9 in particular was extremely fortunate. I still get some money on a K turn but obviously I hit the gin card. I think villain can probably still lay down his hand at some point though, but I could be wrong there. There were 1 or 2 lucky spots (as quoted), but my call down with 99 and JJ were wp and not lucky runouts IMO.

Nono sticking fully with Zoom, the 50nl regular regs make life fairly difficult for me, I dread to think what the 100nl ones would do to me!

I think your priority should be to pay them off now that you can. This is obviously 100% my opinion and I can't even properly explain why I feel this way, just that debt free > debt.

Either way you're crushing which is awesome and gl son.

I agree.

Hard to think you can play your best when you have this attachment to the money also.

...I cashed out the $535. In the past 3 weeks with all the r/b & profits I've paid £1200 of a £2000 loan from a relative (very laid back and says I can pay back whenever, but I still wanna get it paid). I borrowed it in Vegas in December, despite being a grind paying it back, was still totally fkn worth it at the time . I'm just gonna keep cashing out until it's paid, then I can focus on moving up...

Ya man! Working hard to get my **** paid off, then gonna slowly but surely move up to 100nl. I'll be at 40knl before I know it! And I always say Dominos is like banging a fat chick, amazing at the time but afterwards you just feel dirty

Not too shabby considering how hungover I am today. Date night tonight with the mrs, and a few things to do between now and then so cutting it short. My volume lately has been atrocious. 24 days til I go to Magaluf for a week, need to make 94,700 fpps between now and then for the $1600 bonus. Roll's at $1685 now. I've unblocked MTTs completely from the client for tomorrow. Gonna play smallball early and if I make enough $ I'll maybe play the milly!

I didn't take a note of any hands throughout the session but I'll grab a couple quickly from HEM for your entertainment...

Vs a bad reg, was just like "yeah im not folding"...

    This guy was 3betting a ton, decided to raise flop because I can get him to fold everything that isn't a king, and if we get jammed on we have outs. Unfortunate to run into the top of his range. Wp or awful (if it's the latter be constructive)...?

        i know you block the NF, but don't fish have much more other spade combos too? i dont even think they care if they have the NF or not, as long as it's a flush they think their hand is good.

        Ya blocking NF is pointless bc most ppl would just flat that on the turn if they had the nuts, this aint omaha bro

        So blocking NF isn't relevant in this situation, does that mean it's a fold OTR?

        Ya i would fold, you only beat a rando bluff.

        Its actually worse to block the As here since some villains may raise the turn with As7x for example as a semi bluff. I would rather have KsKx here.
