4 tables of zoom so rougly 1700/hour, 8-10 hours a day
I play MTTs on weekends to counter grind/burnout. Nothing like cashing a donkamat to keep you going for a week!

Re: Goal: MicroStakes Grinder
Sigh, maybe I still am a degen or maybe it's a result of playing MTTs for way to long with little sleep.
The previous day I played like 6 hour, MTT, went to sleep at 2am, woke up at 630am, and started another MTT at 9am, that ran for like 8 hours till I busted, and then played a few more till 2 am again.
In MTTs, I lost maybe 50-60$, in HU cash about $400.
This is the down side to online poker, long hours in isolation add in lack of sleep and bad run of cards and your reshoving air for 50bbs vs top set in a 3 bet pot.
I played bad in HU obviously, way to spazzy against nits who will never bluff. I played like 3 random regs all of them were playing like 40/30/3 or similar.
Although my goal after putting in my $30 was just to build up to pay of my credit card, and earn some money to help build my live roll.
I just can't grind online, especially zoom where you can get three streets of value because they either fold or have a set+. There is hardly any good HU games, the fish pretty much leave after they lose 1 buy in or win 1 buy in unless they are running good.
MTTs are fun tho! I can fold for hours like a super nit and cash donkamats, I may just switch over to MTTs online and just see how it goes.
/degen post
Still got ~500 online tho so nothing to get depressed about yet!

This was a soul read hero call. The previous hand I checked down KK on an ace high board, so they know exactly how I play. So when I check the turn, he bluff shoves so many rivers, and he would never shove any hand but a bluff on that river except like QJss (spades) or AJss.
I finished another mtt ran somewhat deep, shiped k8ss to steal blinds and guy got AA. out in like 48th or something for a 36$ cash plus 7.5 in KOs. (13.5KO)
I got 13k blinds 60/120 and the table is super soft, fish to my left, fish to my right oh wait fish everywhere! Go Go Go. (4.4$ (40k gtd)
Big Money One time!
Oh and I quit cash games, the rake + nits in zoom tilt me. I like MTTs, I can out nit everyone! Than soul read hero call ace high one time go go go

He was a spazz monkey who gets it in with any TP, so his bet sizing here is 88+, I raise, and snap and fist pump.
Not sure if this hand is a fold :

This hand happened right after, so it possible he bluff shoved, but his 3 bet could be a10, 1010+ or some weird q10/k10 but still I think its a fold. Even if he is bluffing I'd rather find a better spot, especially since hes a huge fish.
