    Yeah I play nl50 zoom as well. we had a discussion itt about a hand we played against each other a few days ago where you bluff jammed river, you should be able to figure out my sn from there, don't wanna out myself just yet
    we seem to play different times mostly though, seeing how you're putting in several thousand hands a day and I don't see you THAT much at the tables.

    But with your winrate and awesome volume I don't see why you shouldn't move up pretty soon

    Haha I've been called Gaz (or Gazza) for about 17 years! It's just a thing we do. I'm not a fan of Geordie Shore etc, I'd rather eat my own face than watch it (no offence lol).

    There is something about the way Brits talk that has me all intrigued, genuinely cant stand a single person in that house or the whole idea/concept of that show, but I still cant stop watching it when it happens to be on. I mean, pulling women, first time they said that I figured he was gonna actually pull a woman, like yank her by the hair or something rofl.

    Same with inbetweeners, show was obv brilliant, but words like clunge, best **** ever man!

    Thanks man. I've never read a poker book in my life unfortunately. I invested once in a book called "The Mathematics of Poker" once, but it was just gobbledegook from start to finish. If you're looking to improve your NLHE game I'd strongly suggest both getting an 'Essential' membership on RunItOnce and watching all the vids of James Hudson, Felipe Belivianovsky and Lucas Greenwood. Also read and read and read http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/69...-stakes-pl-nl/ as there is a lot of discussion etc there. Gl!

    Yesterday was a day of pure degeneracy. I aimed to play MTTs with my Zoom winnings. Dropped a ****load playing Zoom but proceeded to still play MTTs anyway, mincashed the Big $22 and bricked everything else. Really shot myself in the foot, and quite annoyed at myself. Tried to fix my BR today but broke even. Some hands from today below. One or two of them are pretty bad, not looking for feedback/discussion, but feel free to comment if you wish...

    Ok so this guy is a big nit. When he 3bets & continues I think he has AA, KK or QQ. He never 3 bets 9s, 10s or Js this deep. I raise his cbet because I expect him to fold overpairs this deep. When this turn hits I think he has KK because we block both AA & QQ. When he calls turn bet I rule out AA completely, and we're just hoping he sigh calls with KK otr. He calls with AA lol.

              I don't think that calling range is necessarily correct. I've observed some 25z-100z and in many of the deep 3bet pots, it appears that people are not folding overpairs.
