My Poker ZOOM Journey

Hi 
,
I've lurked the 2p2 PG&C threads for a while now and decided that it was time to make myself one (and a 2p2 account
) to help to keep me grinding and see how far I can get!
I'm not an amazing Poker player, in fact I'd say that I am pretty bad, but it's fun and I enjoy it :P. Right now I am at 16NL ZOOM and hoping to reach 200 by the end of 2017.
I'll post some hands below that I am not 100% sure on. Let me know what you think of my play and whether or not I should play it differently (and why is always to nice to know so I can learn from it!).
1) Vs unknown who I had tagged as a short-stacker. No other reads.
2) Vs unknown again. I was going to 2b jam the turn, but instead decided to call and call down on brick rivers. As played, I am not sure if I should jam river xb...
Today's results:

Hand 1 - I do fold SC's a lot when facing 3b's OOP, however we are 130bb effective with him, and he 3b small, so I think calling is better than folding.
Hand 2 - I don't fold SC's IP, especially when there is a fish who calls behind in the sb who we can dominate
Thanks for stopping by and good luck with your goals as well

Bharrison yes I am sure not either... I don't think we jam to make him fold TT JJ because he should not even have those hands lol
Swingy day. I was not on the better end of preflop set ups (QQ<KK, QQ<AA, AK<AA) and I didn't stack anyone back preflop
.I don't know how often to update this thread. Should I do it every day? 2-3 times a week? Once a week?
1. Both were unknown. I think this is fine.

2. Vs unknown reg (my idea of an unknown reg is a 4 tabler that isn't short stacked). He was 19/15/14 over 29 hands so I took that as enough of a reason to 4b :P. I am not sure about flop... Turn and River are surely ok.
