I would like to have every day these kind of sessions



Winrate stands now on 3.21bb/100 but the sample is to small.

Quick update:

Hit the 30k hands and until now everything looks pretty well and probably the most important thing is that i'm feeling very confident at this stake and i know that i have some edge on regulars too because i see big big mistakes.

Graph until now:


Winrate stands on 4.26bb/100 but i know that the sample is to small.

Some interesting hands:

1. vs reg.. very strange line and also the bets sizing. I had a blocker for flush and after probably 30 seconds i decide to call

2. vs reg.. other villain is a nitty recreational.. pre probably is a standard call. This was a hard call also. I don't think that he checks on flop KK/AA.. TT for sure he bets. I put him on air or KJ/AJ.. but also with this is a 50-50 to bet the flop.

Hello..

Hit the 40k hands and everything is going ok. Today i played a session of 1.2k hands where i was running good, win 4.1bi but i have some hands where i think i loose some money, or not, i don't know if is correct how i played. What i learn on these stakes is that the regs are bluffing the river very rare.

Graph:


Winrate: stands on 4.62bb/100 right now, i hope to have ~4bb or higher after 100k hands. I decided to play 100k on 25z because i want to have a big bankroll for 50z and also to learn more here.



1. reg with not so much info.. is 32/24 with 7.1 3bet on 100 hands. Turn and river bets are very big.. it is ok just to call?

Great stuff, keep crushing.
What do you do for study/ got any advice for a guy breaking out the micros?

Hi mate..
As i said in the first post, i have a full time job too, a GF, so i don’t study very much. The only thing that i do is to review my hands and i try to think what to do better in the future. Also i watch some streamers on twitch, gingeee is very good, gazzyb12345 also.

For beating the micros nl2-nl10, i don’t think you need to study very much. Play abc poker and don’t spew. The most regs on micros are nits, so you need to play very exploited. Search videos on youtube also, you can learn pre flop ranges, 3bet ranges from them.
Just try to do your best on the tables, even if you loose in the beginning, continue to play if you see that you played correct, good results will come. GL GL!!!!

Played a small sessions today too.
Some interesting hands:

1. vs reg.. i made some moves vs him but nothing crazy, now he is station vs me

Quick update:

Hit the 50k hands on 25z
Last sessions were a little bit swingy but after all i'm proud of this result because i'm not a full time poker player.
If i will run ok probably i will go to 50z after 75k hands, actually i have roll for 50z right now but i want to have a bigger one ))

HUD is not working anymore, tried to play now but probably because of antes.
It is a general problem now?

Are you going to play normal tables while the Antes are around ?

I don't have a problem with antes, actually i don't know right now, i'm a little bit upset because the hud is not working.

Probably i will wait a few days to see if the hm2 will fix this.

HM2 has been fixed so i played my first session with antes...



Honestly i think that the game will be more juicy because i have seen some players that open a lot of junkies/3bet wrong/call 3bet to light.

For 2+2 boys who read this thread and they play zoom.

Is a big difference between 25z and 50z?
I'm asking this because i have roll for 50z but i don't know what to do. I know that my game is ok for 25z and i want to play 100k here to learn more and to have a big roll for 50z.

But at the same time I think that is possible to loose value because i still play 25z.

Thanks!

Nice thread and great results so far, subbed

Thank you mate!! GL GL!

Hello..

It's been a long time since the last update.. didn't have so much time to play poker because of my full time job but it is ok.
Poker is not going very well, i mean nothing bad but the last session were very swingy, hope that the run good will come soon.

Hit the 60k hands, and probably i will play until i hit the 100k and then starting to play 50z.

Hello...

Didn't update for so long time because i'm a little bit angry about my results on this stake. Probably i'm in the biggest poker downswing of my life, i'm not complaining because i don't live from poker but still sucks.
Overall the pool is good, a lot of recreationals, but the last sessions were incredible.

I did also a review with one of my friend which is a regular on nl100-nl200 and overall i'm playing ok, like every players on these stakes, i made some mistakes but nothing very big.

Hit the 100k

Since the antes have come in at 25z, rake has gone up 1.5bb/100 so variance will shift as well. The 25z recs/fish regs haven't exactly become less nitty which makes for a pretty bad dynamic where you end up playing way more hands with regs in high variance spots.

I'm beginning to think 50z is a more beatable stake. What do you think?

Honestly i don’t know right now because i never played 50zoom.
I think because of antes, yes, the variance can be more brutal.
