lolfoldaments.

ASB, big sums of money to me as a unl poker player mate, glad you pulled it back. I feel your pain. We all seem to be suffering these last couple days. Someone post some brags please?

Had $6 on Stars when Zoom started now at nearly $200. Probably going to get my roll off Party in the next few days and make Zoom my main game.

I guess I was merging my 3-betting range?

Ouch!
Thats some pretty questionable play from villain imo unless u guys have history

I'm not complaining really. PLO is swongy at the best of times, and zoom I think makes it feel more so because of the pace. I'm not sure that it really is more swingy, idk ...

I haven't converted the hands from last night into HEM1, but this is my graph for the last couple of sessions before last night (running like god on steroids lol), so it's all good !

We're not playing against the player pool, we're playing against individual players.

Just play poker

+1.

Some of the perceived tightness and low overall players/flop is due to the fact that every Zoom table is full. Normal tables are often skewed by being shorthanded, or having recently been shorthanded.

Likewise I started with $38 that was left in my acc and it's up to ~$300 even though I've lost $315 at 25NL.

I think how easy it is to get a lot of hands in makes me like it more than normal tables. I deposited on 888 with the intention of playing there just before zoom came out and haven't played since... Might withdraw and move it to PS or just leave it there if I want a break from zoom?

as much as yesterday was villain hit the river day, today is villain flops a set vs my AA or KK day. Down 10BI since yesterday morning laptop running like crap as well. time for a break.

anyone else having problems with PT4? mine is stopping sometimes and i cant shut it down unless I use task manager..

Unlucky chad, one of them bad days at zoom again!

wheres the PT4 download link, i can onyl see PT3.13.2 as the newest edition?

Time to move to 10NL then?

All my zoom hands:
Started with ~$40 at 2 NL, now ~$700 at 25 NL.

I think I might be folding to 3bets too much. :/

why do you think that? How much do you fold?

pretty much all the time unless I have a pair and the odds to set mine or with like AQs+QKs. if its multi way maybe some sc's and decent unsuited aces + A2-5s and ATs+

great results! do you mind sharing your vpip/pfr ?

Anybody experiencing problems trying to join Zoom tables? Keep getting "No acceptable guard" when I try to join

sure,

they are about 21/17 I think. Pretty standard 6-max on the slightly nitty side.

Thought ide throw my 2 cents into the Zoom topic (im about 15 pages in reading from the start but im too inpatient to not say anything)

So my thoughts....I like it.

Don't love it, but certainly like it. As im sure alot of people have said..its going to be hard to return to normal poker now.

As for myselfs, very mixed as best. which, in turn, seems to be a good thing when it comes to my tiltyness. before if i went $20 down ide start fumming and ranting and chucking **** across the room. Now i feel its normal to have such swings in rush poker, i lost about $100 in 7 days, only to make $90 in 5 hours at the rush tables (followed by a loss of $30 tonight)

Im reading through Verneers thread but thats gonna take a while. all in all though, its fun, fast, and i can handle the swings better. still wish i was playing normal 6 max for read based poker, but the fastness of it all just suits me well.

Wanting to put a good shift of 6 - 8 hours in, however i find my goal of hitting 1,500 hands a day is obviously easy 3 tabling rush...maybe i should re adjust that goal now zoom is here!

(sorry if i call it rush...old habits and that)

If you're 3 tabling 6-max you'll hit 1500 hands easily in an hour.

zoom PLO shows you how sick a game PLO is. When you run bad you run terrible

I estimate it at 300 hand / hour / table.

Zoom is very, very swingy indeed.... Fun, but not one to draw conclusions on win rates below 100k hands!!

Hi, could you tell me which thread this is...?

nice one impressive to see no swings at 6max also in teh results!
