Cheers Everyone,

english is not my motherlanguage so i apologize for the coming bad expressions in the future

I started playing the Zoom Games (NL100-200) like in the middle of the last year and i did really bad on them. Fortunately my VIP-Status was Supernova to cover some losses. Losingplayer on 300k hands by playing bad and being totally unexperienced in these games. I really tried hard to become a winningplayer but there was no development into this direction. I was absolutely frustrated that Onlinepoker is so hard nowadays...
In February i decided to quit and focus on some juicy local private and casino games. That worked pretty well and in May 2015 i felt confident enough to give the Zoom Games another try. I played like 135k hands since then and i put a lot of work into it to do it better then the first time. Sure, there are a lot of things to work on in the future but that is the beauty of the game and i really love this kind of work
The games are defintely not getting easier. The Zoompool is full of regulars and a good time/gameselection is necessarily to reach my goals. It will be a challenge anyways.

My Goals for the rest of the year:
-Supernova (50k VPP left)
-100k hands a month
-5bb/100

Since May:

I just played a small session today, nothing special. I will take my train to Berlin in a few hours and stay there till tuesday. Having some days off and enjoying my fav city <3

Have a nice weekend everyone

After a great weekend in Berlin with lovely people, great food and a lot of beer i jumped back into the zoom games yesterday. A little bit tired i started at 13pm ET and took some longer breaks before finishing around midnight. I wasn't really focussed the whole day and lost the world in non showdown winnings. No postflop plans for future streets, 4% 3betting preflop and clicking the call button way to often on the river...
It might be better for me to skip one table and play only 3 tables in reg heavy daytimes to keep my thinking processes alive. Anyways i don't even know if i can stand the reg heavy games in european daytime, feels like worlds between the nighttime.
Today my roommate will run a 1€/2€ homegame in our appartment and a lot of interesting people are coming, this will be fun for sure . I didn't play live for a month or so and i'm really excited about tonight.
