Re: Trying to win and move up stakes - ZOOM poker

thanks for the post

my current BR is also about 1k, I think I would like to have around 2k to play 50NL.

Hopefully I can do that next month some time if I have good results.

Re: Trying to win and move up stakes - ZOOM poker

Thanks maverick.

I have played a lot of hands in my sample so far and the ones I have posted are just recent situations where I have been unsure or they are tricky spots.

Maybe I will post some nice easy winning ones soon

Re: Trying to win and move up stakes - ZOOM poker

Just ended a session short, down 7 BI, was not playing optimally. Got coolered a couple of times and some bad play, could have started to tilt soon.

Going to post some hands and watch a video.

Re: Trying to win and move up stakes - ZOOM poker

Biggest losing hand of the day. Obviously somewhat of a cooler. Villain is a reg but I don't have any notes on him (something I need to do more).

Wasn't sure about bet size on river, will he call a jam with worse or bet fold 1/2 pot size. I made just about the worst play I could, the call at the end was just tilt I think, I am good 0%

    I think this is standard/good play against big fish in bb and TAG reg btn.

      Villain is 4 tabling 25/23 8% 3b, I suspect him to be 3betting pretty wide on the BTN here against my wide CO range. I will sometimes call but decided to 4bet here. Once we get the flop I don't think there is much we can do.

        when the 4bet is a pure bluff, its superbad to 4bet the top of your non-stackingoff-range... if you plan to 4bet/call with dynamic, okish, but you should just flat pre

        Not sure about this hand. Villain is aggressive reg who I have some history with 3betting and 4betting. He is opening 50% sb over small sample and cbetting over 90%.

        I raise flop for value and expect him to play back a lot. I am reasonably happy when he 3bets me.

        The 7h turn I think is ok for me but not great. I expect him to barrell a lot when he picks up a FD and I also think it is very unlikely he has a 7.


        On the river I am getting good odds and still think I can be good against him enough. The A he can bluff on and still all his missed straight draws/air that he picked up heart draw on the turn.

          Cooler? Obviously 2nd nuts v nuts is hard to lay down, but I think maybe I should have found the fold on the river.

          Villain is 21/18 reg, not too aggro stats.

          The more I think about it the more of a fold I think it is. I am basically praying he has JhTh but I don't even think he would bet as big with that. KThh and KJhh are hands he will flat pre, way less likely with JThh 89hh etc.

          He plays nothing less than a flush like this and the King is so much more likely as it looks like I have a flush too and his sizings are screaming it.

            Congratulations I folded a river

            I should just flat the river, the guy is so passive.

              Thanks for the comment, I was planning to call it off/jam after 4betting this hand vs villain.

              Any thoughts on other hands?

              Finished for the day, nearly back top even (ended -$18)

              Feels a bit better as cashed an fpp bonus so my cashier is actually.

              Wanted to play 10k hands but stopped at 8.5 as internet was lagging and timing me out.

              Going to post some hands in the morning. Good night 2p2!

              Villain is reg with fairly high 3bet and 10% squeeze, think I should fold when he bets this size turn though, always f'ing has it
