Today i played 4 tables for 15 minutes and made 2 flushes on the turn only for the river to pair the board, i bet and villain goes all in i call and they have a full house obviously. Later on i flopped a set and db, the river brings a 3 flush i bet villain goes all in i call villain wins with a flush. It seems i am losing from both sides i don't know if i am running extremely terrible or if i am just stacking off in bad places but if i where to fold my redline would be even worse (its currently almost -20bb/100). In normal games its not great (around -10bb/100) but my overall winrate is 8bb/100 over an ok sample of 90k hands. Another thing is over pairs JJ+, i barrel them and villain either folds early winning me a tiny pot, or villain draws out on me, flopped a set or has a higher over pair. It really seems i lose much bigger pots with them than i win.
Honestly i am just so stuck with what to do and can't understand why my game can be winning over a decent winrate (9bb/100 at 5nl and 10nl combined for 140k hands) to -15bi in 10k hands at zoom.
You suffer from normall table syndrome ,imo zoom is not harder than normall but its SO different , the leaks are different , actually i once beat 10nl zoom over 50k hand but i couldnt beat 16nl normal without adjusting a lot my game , my leaks when i played normall were that i didnt vbet light enough and didnt stack off light enough aswell , i also was trying to 3-bet like a madman
, i was missing so much value...because i suffered from zoom syndrome.
You seem like you are playing a very straightforward game with correct vbets , kinda lighter stack offs due to your experience with normall and probably a lower aggression because then again normall is looser. This kind of style doesnt work with zoom , when you are playing zoom you have to use every weapon you have and take unorthodox lines when its appropriate , 10nl zoom is extremely tight limit , you have to increase your aggression and check much more than vbet , your stack off range must go down aswell without a read. You need to have a great hud and focus on each decision , thats why i think its bad to play 4 tables especially if its your first time on the limit.
