I got a $5 AUD ($3.50 USD) bonus from Ignition for doing a survey. So far, I've 16xed it to $79.78 AUD ($54.88 USD), playing mostly 5NL Zoom.
The player pool is very weak in my opinion. Most fold on the flop to c-bets, and their pre-flop play is very questionable.
I'll probably switch to higher limits when I have the bankroll for it (30 buy-ins probably), and when I've learnt some more theory. I'm playing pretty much ABC poker with a few exploitative adjustments, but nothing too fancy.

Interesting hands so far:
Hand 1:
SB posts $0.02
BB posts $0.05
LJ folds
HJ (Hero, $3.34) raises $0.15 with AhQh
CO (Villain, $7.12) raises $0.52.
Folds around, and Hero calls.

Flop comes 9h5d8d
Hero checks
Villain bets $1.02
Hero raises $2.82 all-in
Villain calls $1.76 with QsQc.

Turn 2c, River 4c.

This is definitely a play I usually wouldn't make, but I was feeling feisty in the moment so decided to go for it with the BDFD. The solver thinks I should do it roughly 10% of the time, which was in the vicinity of what I was thinking (around 20-25% or so.)


Hand 2:
SB posts $0.02
BB posts $0.05
LJ (Villain, $4.85) raises $0.15
Folds around and BB (Hero, $5.12) calls with 3c4c.

Flop comes 7cJcTh
Hero bets $0.45
Villain calls

Turn Qs
Hero bets $0.66
Villain calls

River Ac
Hero bets $1.28
Villain raises $3.59 (All-in)
Hero calls

Villain shows KhKs, with a straight, and Hero wins $9.38 with a flush.

I was worried mostly about villain having a better flush.

Solver doesn't donk-bet too much, but it does so about 8-10% of the time, equally split between half-pot and overbet. Interestingly enough the overbet has the highest EV and the check the lowest (except for All-in), even though it checks most of the time.
Solver also continues to bet on the flop around 8-10% of the time.
On the river the solver prefers to check about 20% of the time and go all-in the rest of the time while betting rarely, which makes sense on reflection.
The solver agrees with the opponents decision, raising all-in about 50% of the time.
