Hello Community.

About me
I'm a 20 y/o guy from denmark striving to beat the zoom cash games.
My BR last week was at about 300 $ but since then i've been on a downswing for about 20 BI's. (Due to Coolers, bad beats, but also tilt!)

I'm making this thread to be more responsible to my plays / BR, but i'm also looking for some help to fix some of my leaks

The Challenge

2nl 200-225 (To Regain confidence)
5NL 225-400
10NL 400-640
16NL 640-1000
25NL 1000-2000

I will be updating this post as much as i can with Hands / current BR.

Hand 1- I like the DB OTF vs 2 people but why are we checking the turn? I think there is value to be had there from KQ, KT, Ak, maybe JT that spiked a pair OTT. Also there are FDs and if villain can raise K9 from MP he can also have K8s ETC. Any reads on villain? Seems fishy to raise K9o from MP so i would value bet 3 streets vs this guy. Not sure im 100% correct here but still Im for sure betting the turn.Never noticed it was nl2- all the more reason to value bet hard. I mean he could even have AQ clubs BDFD so betting the turn cant be bad vs these fools.

I agree with you that i should have double barreled that turn. i dont know if i was seeing ghosts.
when i look at it now, the check looks pretty dumb. thank you!

Not a fantastic day... pretty dissapointed in the way i have been playing.

Had a couple of unfortunate bad beats that affected me in a bad way.
i'm still spewing way more than i should, i fight back in the wrong spots.
The player pool seems very aggresive today, or maybe it's in my head

Also i cant believe i'm still having trouble finding the fold button even though i know when they have the NUTS!

BR : 249 $

Not nitty at all. If he is remotely competent he would fold anything worse and call all better hands then KQ.
