Hey everyone!

I have been playing poker for the last 9 years. I've been a casual player online and live mostly around my current studies and work. What I aim to do over the next few months is get a decent amount of hands of the micro limits starting at 10nl and the eventual goal is 200nl+

I'll be playing mostly Zoom Poker on Pokerstars.

I have a YouTube channel that I regularly upload videos to which is

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL6...a-PCv0csX3oGNQ

Also, my latest video of 10nl Zoom can be found here -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbmYqXxjgiY

I will also be posting hands etc for analysis/discussion.

Hope you can all join me on my journey to 200nl+

Haven't been able to play much lately - Uni takes up a bit of time here and there. But will have another video up within the next 48 hours.

Thanks ozziwar!

Looks interesting!
Watched your video and can't wait for the next one, since I'm struggling with zoom (on iPoker) with my 'normal' strategy.
Good luck!

fold, MP calls 1 BB, fold, BTN raises to 4 BB, Hero raises to 12 BB, BB calls 11 BB, MP calls 11 BB, fold

Flop: (40 BB, 3 players) 8 5 9

Would you recommend a jam here? Or a decent psb with so many runners?

Hand 2

BTN: 113.3 BB (VPIP: 18.89, PFR: 11.11, 3Bet Preflop: 2.22, Hands: 96)

Do you recommending checking down here? I'm only really scared of QT right?

Spoiler:
BB checks, Hero bets 15 BB, BB raises to 81 BB and is all-in, fold

BB wins 65.4 BB


And this one.

subbed good luck with climbing!
hand 1) I always check in situations like this,not sure what is correct.
hand 2) Readless..I like your bet,maybe you can go even bigger.
hand 3) I would check and if he bets - fold most of the time.

Had a decent session just now - everything just held up and I was crushing everyone with my reads from previous notes etc.

Here's a few hands I'd like feedback on:

PokerStars - $0.10 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 122.3 BB (VPIP: 15.28, PFR: 5.56, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 73)
Hero (SB): 154.8 BB
BB: 100 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 3)
UTG: 111.8 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 20.45, 3Bet Preflop: 9.52, Hands: 44)
MP: 72.4 BB (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 33.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 3)
CO: 94.2 BB (VPIP: 16.67, PFR: 8.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 48)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K T

fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 2 BB, BB calls 1 BB

Flop: (4 BB, 2 players) T 7 4
Hero bets 2 BB, BB raises to 6 BB

What do you think here? I feel like call checking to river but honestly I've rarely seen anyone raise on a board like this at this limit without AT or set or 2p hands.


Hand 2.


PokerStars - $0.10 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 108.4 BB (VPIP: 8.00, PFR: 4.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 27)
Hero (SB): 103.6 BB
BB: 117.1 BB (VPIP: 21.89, PFR: 17.75, 3Bet Preflop: 9.09, Hands: 175)
UTG: 109.4 BB (VPIP: 32.00, PFR: 32.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 25)
MP: 50.4 BB
CO: 106.3 BB (VPIP: 8.33, PFR: 4.17, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 24)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 7 A

fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 2 BB, BB calls 1 BB

Flop: (4 BB, 2 players) 6 7 8
Hero bets 1.9 BB, BB raises to 6.9 BB

I feel like here we are folding so much without any information. Any thoughts?

Hand 3.


PokerStars - $0.10 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 157.1 BB (VPIP: 66.67, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 3)
SB: 78.5 BB (VPIP: 40.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 5)
Hero (BB): 253.3 BB
UTG: 132.2 BB (VPIP: 20.90, PFR: 13.43, 3Bet Preflop: 10.71, Hands: 72)
MP: 97.4 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 1)
CO: 100 BB (VPIP: 12.50, PFR: 10.42, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 50)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 9 9

fold, MP raises to 2 BB, fold, BTN calls 2 BB, fold, Hero raises to 9 BB, MP calls 7 BB, BTN calls 7 BB

Flop: (27.5 BB, 3 players) T 4 4
Hero bets 13.1 BB, MP calls 13.1 BB, fold

Turn: (53.7 BB, 2 players) 7

Are we checking to the river now? I always get these tricky situations where it's such a thin line to D-bet or c/c to river.



Here's the updated graph so far at 10nl.

Yeah these are common tough spots for I guess everyone.

H1: Usually I c/c this down and losing money, but vs nits I think we can fold this.
H2: Don't see how we can call this vs decent opponent, cuz we are 50/50 at the best imo. Usually way behind.
H3: I'd ch/c this. Maybe b/f is an option?

Good luck, we'll prob meet at the tables next week.

Had a 5-6 BI downswing. Pushing through it. Making mostly the right decisions just can't seem to get my hands to hold up. Will post graph and hands later today.

Well I guess not, but it's still not too farfetched I don't think to maintain if you can crush the micros.

Here's my recent session. Got so many sick coolers but managed to come out decently. Played my A-Game the whole time. Very happy.
