The math behind should be quite easy so I think "it's accurate" (w/e it really means). Downswings happen...

GL for the rest of the month!

Yeah it jst sucks.

Thanks, should just remind myself that im only 4 days into the month.

Tonnes of time to recover and end it on a high.

Played some more today, was determined to rostocko some of this months losses and get to 9k FPP's which i did.

- 2 BI today so not too bad...

Spent the fPP's on $50 bonuses, (ik its worse value but the way im running i dnt want to risk getting nothing) and got the $50 stellar which were my goals for this weekend. Brings the onth to only - 1 BI and gives me more breathing space within my BR.

Month so far:

Havent played much recently, 25k hands so far this month which is ok, stuck 18 BI, 11 BI under EV which sucks.

Seems like whenever i start to rostocko i take one beat after another and then make more mistakes as a result.

Am also 12 BI's under EV in aipfr hands too, which makes me feel better about having such a ****ty month.

Hopefully things will turn around soon.

Month so far:

Some hands from this month:

villain 90/14, not that aggressive post flop, hasn't c/r before but only 43 hands.

Saw flatting as a sign of weakness rather than a slowroll, decided 44 would play well although it obv doesn't and was just major spew.

isolate was 38/19, opening too many hands, good spot to 3bet AJ imo, only 21 hands, no 3bet stats. UTG was 100/0 over 3 hands so no real info, just thought he'd stack off so wide that AJ is WA.

39/3 over 36 hands, fairly passive post flop. Think its a fold, i doubt he shoved KJo or w/e here.

First time ive really analysed this month, so much uneccessary bluffing + spew.

...

Why are you leveling so much? I told you 10nl plays just like 2nl and 5nl, just a tad more aggressive...you treat it like its 5knl though. You're a winner at 2nl and 5nl. You can definitely win at 10nl, you're just giving the player pool at this level waaaaayyyyyy too much credit.

Like that hand with 44 makes no sense what so ever.

76s: I don't like your flop 3bet (I would have just shoved myself).

44: Confirmed spew

AJs: Flatting pre isn't bad either (esp. vs unknowns). Flop is too thin IMO.

AK: WP

AQ: More pre (around $1.30 or $1.40) being OOP as a squeeze. Flop is fine but turn is a x/f. No need to protect our hand, villain won't call w/ worse, we're not afraid of a draw or being bluffed out.

AA: Yeah, it's a fold.

AKs: Fold OTT. His line is quite strange but you're rarely ahead...

K8s: Yep, it's a fold OTT.

thanks for the input guys.

[x] confirmed 235 FPP sat player now and loving them...

have been super lazy this month and need to get back into it...

gl all.

Now $-87 for the month, most i played from the 7th until yesterday was a 45 minute day :/.

Played 5 hours yday for $+43 and today 3 hours for $+61. Slowly rostockoing and getting into a decent amount of hours.

Month to date... gl all.

So we're half way through the month, ive gotten super lazy and lost a lot of motivation to play, so i'm going to use this thead (more for myself) to keep in check.

140 hours, only at 45 so far, i should be at 70 to be on target. Need to play 47.5 hours/week from now to reach the target.

25nl i think is still reasonable as long as i dont slack off, im slowly rostockoing and catching up my EV. -10.8 BI, 10 under for the month.

Almost certain Platinum Star is out, id have to avg 403 VPP's/day to reach it.

gl all.

yoooooooooooooooo man hows that grind going? 45hrs/week is nothing! go for 65 imo

We arn't all freaking robots like you man! :P

Good luck with the rest of the month btw

Ok, im still being mega lazy but i think zoom will help. loool i dnt think i could make 65 in a week at all right now.

haha some of us have lives , joking ofc, thanks and gl to you both.

[x] officially addicted to zoom.

So far today, 1.5 hours, 2k hands, $+16.39, HEM says 100 VPP's, but i think from cashier i only got ~30.

I will be exclusively playing zoom from now on unless the vpp rates really are that bad in which case i might mix normal tables with zoom.

BR: $566, T$: $20.9

Also hungover, so don't think ill play a great deal today.

gl all.

EDIT: Pretty sure i got 35 VPP's over those 2k hands, only 0.017 vpp/hand compared to 0.056 at normal tables. Kinda sucks.

@Blakkman08, kamacry, 51.69 hours so far this month. Terrible .

what style do u play there? i dunno maybe i m too oldschool but i really didnt like zoom the coupe times i tried it out. and looked to be full of platinumstars and novas lol

good luck brotha

(72 hrs for me)

13/10, 100% ATS, vbetting 101 .

Once hud starts to work ill 3bet light etc... but now it doesnt seem like a great idea.

Yeah ive seen a ridic amount of SN's as well.

Thanks, glgl.

Ended yesterday at 4.2k hands, +2 BI.s, 5 BI under EV.

EDIT: amd set mining is +$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

zoom zoom zoom

rostock for the month.

Zoom so far: 7865 hands, $+101.86. 3 BI under EV.

vamosssssssssssssssssssss

Wow nice job man!! Gogogogo

Thanks man.

I had been thinking about it before but only just actually tried, playing 4 tables of 10nl FR zoom as well as 4 tables of 5nl FR zoom, totals like 2.4k hands/hour.

Not sure whether i'll actually do this or not but i think it would be a good way to make up for the vpp/hand loss and might also help balance variance a bit.

Will update my results later when i actually put in a session doing it.

Just tried 4 tables FR zoom of 10nl and 4 of 5nl. Really easy to focus, its not hard at all, the biggest problem is the lag which is pretty bad :/.

1238 hands in 32 mins, pretty nice.

haha i didnt think of 8 tabling across 2 limits, thats insane volume ! rarther stick to 4 tables of 10nl and focus on tough spots tho

heh, what tough spots?

fair point wait for aa jam / set mine easy game

haha yeah thats basically it.

Toughest spot ive had yet...
