1/2z so much easier than 2/5z. Gap between is enormous imo.

In my experience, Zoom 500 has gotten tougher in the last 6 months then it was throughout 2015, i see a lot less spews and bad plays, seems like everyone is trying harder. Guys that play higher normally also seem to have adjusted to nittier style. Deff at least two/three times harder then 200. Also, not to underrate OPs success, but 15000 hands and 5k profit is certainly not crushing as someone else said.

I never said I was crushing 500 or atleast I didn't mean to imply that I did/do.
I would agree over the short sample I played however that the jump from 200 to 500 is very large in pretty much every aspect.

I didn't say you did

Yeah, jump from 200 to 500 is felt in every way, losing 4 buy-ins at 500 hurts a lot more

tbh i think opposite, in this year z500 was softer

Can"t argue with that. Could be different playing styles though, like your style is crushing nits, which is prolly correct if you are who i think you are.

And tbh i played very little zoom 500 this year, so no real sample size, just my first thoughts i guess.

wow this is sick,good job

Yes I also agree, that this year somehow zoom got softer, I also have better results than previous year.

y have to give kudos for that graph, pretty inspirational winrate.

That's unreal.

V sick...

But what about the previous 700k z500 hands?

previous 700k hands i was drinking too much

holy **** this winrate is comparable to heads up games for most players..... do you think this is your real winrate or is there some long stretch run good involved ? Either way, deep respect !

that graph is a masterpiece

Who is crazyrussian on stars?

look closer at the graph

that graph is exactly what I was drawing attention to with my red line comment on OP graph. If Red line is above zero then you should end up with a sexy ramp up wards.

wp MDU, have seen you play some very interesting hands while at the 500z tables recently.

Gakn you are incorrect in your assumptions. An increase in redline almost invariably causes a decrease in blue line, any winning player with a redline below 0bb/100 is certain to have a blue line above their green/orange lines otherwise that would preclude them from being a winning player. As you can see in MDU's graph his winnings over the entire sample have come from a combination of red + blue = orange/green instead of the typical much larger blue - red = orange/green. Also if you look at the last 100K hands you wouldn't exactly describe him as the redline crusher that was in the previous 200K hands.

Sexy ramp:



Six of one, half a dozen of the other. The only line that matters in the end is green.

please teach me MDU
