I'm a break even 25NL Zoom player so far.
I spew Horrendously and continuously
I've made money from poker. but its not been much and its almost exclusively from donkaments.


I'm just going to keep track of things weekly here. Maybe post a few more hands in the micro stakes forum

Didn't plan to play until next weekend but came on for a session because i had a few hours to spare.
Session went really well played a few hands badly that i will review and post later in micro stakes forum after i get back from the pool and gym.

Didn't play great don't even know why i went back on i was tired from the gym and should have just reviewed and went to bed.

Oh for your enjoyment and my self pity.

I played like a station post flop today. probably spewed a buy in or 2 on bad calls.

All in all, I wasn't too happy with my play today. A good couple of spots i felt like i spewed and as i said earlier i've been a little bit of a station.

Really good session today. Played awesome and didn't slip up much at all.
Had to withdraw 500$ of my roll this weekend for a new road bike.



Graph since start of thread.

Very nice, you are crushing zoom. What's your bb/100 in that sample?

12.69bb/100 over 13k hands.

small sample though.

lol I tilted today. made HORRIBLE plays and calls one after another and got lucky to only lose 4.5buyins. Looks like i can't go back on again until i'm in the right mind frame because today was a self inflicted downswing.

Read through the first couple pages of the poker mind set yesterday and went back on with a different attitude to the game. I think I generally made good decisions both yesterday and today.



and 20k hands:

Had a few sessions of tilt and decided to drop a table and really just concentrate on the tables

I ended up 500 deep and 600 deep on the 2 tables before this hand.

reg player (710 hands 22/12, 3 bet 5.4% has 4 bet 2/10 opportunities
Cbet 88 / Turn bet 50 / river bet 27)







This pot really hurt, not used to being uncomfortable playing KK. not used to flatting OOP in such a big pot either. just thought i would keep the little spew, QQ, AK in his possible range (although with that 4 bet size i really didn't think it was anything but KK+ with how deep we where and his stats.

there are very few occasions where i would fold an over pair on such a dry board. maybe this was a spot though.

GL with the grind man, subbed

GL with everything and see you at the tables

thanks, hopefully it goes well i have a lot to learn

Got a few goals to set for this year:

[ ]spend 25 hours a week 4 tabling zoom
[ ]add two juicy 25NL 6max tables in to the grind
[ ]Reach 50 NL
[ ]5 hours a week reading and learning about poker
[ ]12 hours a week training for sprint triathlon in August
[ ]bulk to 190lb's (currently 172 from 168 2months ago)

Going to find the last one the hardest for two reasons:
I'll be training aerobically a lot and burning off a lot of calories.
I do find it difficult to eat as much as I need to gain weight.

Good progress so far, good luck!

Good stuff so far.

KK hand Im just guna go ahead and 4 bet pre.

I think we can take out any Jx out of his hand and i very much doubt he is raising 22/77 here. Possible hands are now AK/QQ/JJ/KK/AA. Its going to be unlikely he has KK and again unlikely he has AK aswell considering we had 2 of the K's

So now his range only consists of QQ/JJ/AA.

When he continues the turn he range becomes more polarized. Im definitely finding a fold maybe on the turn but definitely on the river.

thank you, GL on the tables

Do you mean 5 bet? its an idea but i think this player is only ever stacking with KK+ 300 deep. I also don't think hes 4 bet bluffing that big very often and i'm not turning kings in to a bluff by 5bet/folding.
I think you are right about the fold on the river when I looked over the hand again. Probably a little weak to fold turn.

subbed gl

Yeah am guna 5bet to around $22, I just hate flatting KK here and we get owned either way.

42k hands @ 5bb/100.
I still spew a lot. but its becoming less frequent.

Just broke the 30second barrier for my 50m freestyle yesterday when training in my last session.
Racing a friend from college next month when we go to Lanzarote. He is part of the regional squad and has competed in a few internationals so i'm looking forward to that. Don't expect to beat him but I expect to train as hard as I can to get as close to it as possible .

Soooo Tilted!
ran bad last night and was down 7 buyins. (only 2 on zoom i was on NL reg tables and a plo table.)
thats fine. i didn't tilt and was happy about that.

came back on today and was up 3 buyins untill this hand.... (didn't save in HH so i cant put it in converter)

i went back on but theres no point, my A game is too busy being rage tilted.

Best hand won imo

Sent from my ST23i using 2+2 Forums

i've sent the player an email concerning the hand and asked him to reimburse me my loses and the subsequent stack i should have taken from him.

luck is not allowed to be that crewel.

side note. is your phone ID a mix of your age and what you are riddled with?

On my other laptop because my grinding station has a dodgey hard drive and keeps crashing.
Just looked at my HEM on this for 25NL zoom



today and yesterdays session

looks good man, keep it up.
