I've booked six straight winning days and am feeling much better. Outside the humidity of Playa del Carmen, it's turned out to be a pretty nice place to grind. I'm back to putting in the time to write out a lot of range work... go over hands and read new threads. I turned back away from Zoom after my third attempt at playing it in hopes of larger volume. I really don’t get it. In regular 25NL games I’m a +4.8 EV bb/100 winner… on Planet Zoom I’m an -8 EV bb/100 LOSER. (sample size is zoom is 30k hands, more at regular tables) What am I missing? Jumping back up to regular 50NL tables tomorrow.
Random Thoughts
I discovered what a thread saver was two days ago. So the obvious question that popped into my mind was, ‘does that mean I should put up naked pictures of guys or girls?’ I mean… this thread is in the women’s section. I concluded that both options would leave the other sex angered or scarred in some way.
So as a new type of thread saver, I’m going to occasionally put up comics, funny videos, and hands I played where I gave someone a horrible bad beat. Why only those hand histories? Because a) I didn’t start this thread to give poker advice. b) it amuses me and c) I hate reading about bad beats.
So here is my first victory dance.
