Personal ranting blog about my bad luck at the perfectly fair & perfectly beatable zoom poker tables.

Currently @100k hands of 2NL zoom, 12BI below EV, fully experiencing the ridiculous game of 2NL zoom.

2NL run continues, i was aproaching the 100$ mark where maybe some fish that play 2NL withdraw, so the totally random totally fair PS system decided to 'help' me back down.

Villain had an 85% CBet 7% 3bet 2.5% 4bet over about 500 hands

120k hands, 15BI below EV, approaching 100$ BR (3rd time's a charm), waiting to see if PS applies the expected 'correction'.

Got a 'read' on the villains at 2NL, more like a tell.... the perfectly beatable 2NL zoom tables sense when you're approaching 100$ and adjust accordingly.

Gave this place a chance, seeing all the people talking about the strategies and the best lines, etc, gave me some hope, that with some effort, study & calm i can beat 2NL zoom, but as i get close to that magic number of 100$, the perfectly fair PS system deems it necessary to apply the usual correction.

Don't even have the + EV line to show... guy w 4 bet of 10% over 300 hands, shows up w KK, flop a set, run into straight, make a flush, run into the nut flush, etc.

Maybe i just suck and can't read it properly when a guy puts in 1/2 a stack with a gutshot, gets there and i stack off with 5% equity.

Further away from 100$, expecting the game to get back to normal anytime ^^.
