First day of my new zoom phase over. Nice to be on the place that Blackrain9 called the circus (the playing field as a whole is, let´s say, wild, almost like I remember from the past), and train my mental stamina. Btw, from what I´ve seen so far, the recs play the same way of the 10nl ones beat me up lol. The only difference is that we are 5 times lower here. Regs obv are worse (on average ofc, I´m talking about the typical ones).
Results are meh, turned a profit but still running bad losing nut flush vs str8 flush and things like that. It´s the nature of the game, and not a big deal in the medium-longer term obv (if I thought it was, I wouldn´t be playing online poker).
Anyway, a few things about the change in format:
Good:
1) New game, I´m feeling the rush again. Change sometimes is good to avoid burnout and loss of motivation.
2) The pace is faster (I´m 3-tabling) and I get the same volume I used to get when 12-tabling FR, but it feels easier, since the speed in zoom can be more or less controlled by us depending on the speed we fast fold. If we have a difficult decision on 1 table, we can simply reduce our speed and think.
3) Cheaper place to remember how to play vs big recs. One oddity of online poker is that 5nl is a limit more or less ignored by a lot of fun players. They play 2nl or 10nl (maybe 10nl is the new 2nl, inflation?? lol), so the 5nl pool overall is way more nitty, lower wr lower variance thing. Not saying there aren´t recs there, but the number of recs there compared to 10nl is way lower. Not mentioning 2nl obv.
Bad:
Only one: Have to find an ergonomically solution to avoid the constant movement of my wrist while playing. I´m using the keyboard to fast fold, but still have to keep the mouse moving from side to side. The last thing I want is an overuse injury there.
Cheers!
