Hi, i posted before but always quitted posting and ended up losing BR.
I deposited 150$ on pokerstars to play zoom 5nl with 30BI each lvl.
Right now my BR is at 100, quite demoralizing, almost 37 i lost were because of coolers/bad luck and the rest because of tilt (betting when i knew i was beat, doing stupid calls, etc)

So now i have 100 but I will move down to 2nl zoom to get back and to not be emotionally stressed. i guess when i have like 120-130 i'll take another shot at 5nl zoom.

Goals for december
-reach 200$
-become a steady winner a 5nl

This is my graph atm in 5nl zoom:

Updatee.
Played horribly, but at least managed to score a win and get some confidence in my game. Also noticed a lot of leaks like calling to light c-bets and 3-bets preflop.

Hands


1) what do you think? i was almost sure he had the straight and wouldn't let it go with a shove.

          Keep calm, play focused and dont play to many tables and I'm sure you make it throught the micros!

          Last hand: Think about this, how many worse pairs (A9,A7,A5,A4,A3,JJ,99) can he have in his range that will call off 3 streets? , I know this is nl2 but does this look like a typicall btn cold call range of hands vs utg open and would he call with many of them?

          That being said his range consist alot more of flushdraws and straight draws + weak one pair type of hands that will fold river anyways. Check/Call river and let him burst off bluffs with all missed draws and also you wont end up in a spot where you face a raise and might be blown off your hand by a missed draw.

          Tip: Write down the combinations of worse hands that you could get value from and combinations of missed draws and see which is the most and post it here as an exercise =)

          My 2 cents //

          Hey thanks for the advice, it actually helped me in a particular hand i will post in the update. I play 4 tables zoom it works for me because used to play while doing other stuff (fb, tv, series, reading, etc) which distracted me a lot. But now i only play and close everything else.

          So played my night session and ended up another 4$.
          This time I decided to tight up a bit, which ended in less tough spots were i would be basically gambling since i don't know what would be the correct play.

          1) So I decided not to bet river since i didn't see value in that.
