still running mehhh, didn't think this month would go this bad . Really liking the reg tables so far, even if they don't like me too much. I will keep on doing what I am doing and re evaluate on the 28th and see what I continue to do. At the moment I am still on a downswing, but hoping to end this month strong.

Here are a couple of fun hands vs regs (zoom)

      finally a winning day



      failing pretty hard at not checking results, but I guess thats because my bankroll is smaller now and the swings are more stressful. I really have to work on this bad habit.

      vs reg, really wanted to fold on the turn but bb was massive fish and reg had 60% agg on flop ... mehhh

        swingy but good day, that redline , I have no Idea how it happened, I thought I was getting crushed in non showdown pots and I checked results at the end of the day to see if my redline hadn't gone down too much. Weird stuff

            [x] Going to add the 'fake misclick' to my game.

            How do you find the regular tables to the zoom games?
            I have also changed from 8 x zoom tables to 4 x zoom and 12 x regular.

            So far, I am losing on the regular tables over 18k hands but crushing zoom games over 140k hands.... however feel the regular games are waaay softer with more fish.

            I believe I am running bad at the regular tables and running good at zoom, though interested in your thoughts.

            Hehe yeah I noticed been seeing you around . I know how you feel, it was the same for me. I was getting crushed on reg tables on my first 13k hands but then got on a mini heater and now winning at 5bb/100 over 18k hands. With these small samples it really is just variance and youll probably start crushing the reg tables soon.

            To be honest, if I could 8 table 50nl zoom fr I would, but I can't. I really like the reg tables, and I do find them softer then the zoom pool, but for now I am not really sure on what I prefer and I couldn't answer your question.

            But I do think its good to get used to table selecting and playing on reg tables since after 100nl well... no more zoom

            Good Luck to you on the tables !

            This month started pretty bad with a failed shot at 100nl. Due to having to withdraw a large portion of my roll I started the month with the motivation to grind back the money I withdrew ( ~2.5k). Even though this month has been disapointing as I really wanted to be a 100nl reg by now, I can't complain and I did make decent amount of money. Uni took so much more time than I had expected and tahts why the low hours played.

            So this month I will try something new, I will set myself weekly goals and evaluate at the end of the week.

            Week 1 - March

            [ ] 30 hours
            [ ] 40k hands
            [ ] Don't check results until March 7th NO MATTER WHAT
            [ ] Starting monday working on uni at least 2 hours every day
            [ ] Gym x3

            I might post a few hands but no graphs until March 7th, I really try to not check results this time and it will be a big challenge.

            As for the checking results thing I found that to help my game quite a bit. I just keep a filter on my by stakes tab to 'Today' and then when i start playing the next day just double click and it updates to todays date

            Thanks bro you too , I finally figured it out. I feel kinda dumb but HM2 actually doesn't take into account the time you sit out on breaks and adds it to the minutes played. Thats why it shows like that. I guess all the hours I thought I was playing are actually much less since I take far too many small breaks .

            As for the checking results thing I found that to help my game quite a bit. I just keep a filter on my by stakes tab to 'Today' and then when i start playing the next day just double click and it updates to todays date

            Thanks man, thats what I try to do but I find not checking results so hard. Will work on it alot this month.
