3.2k rake in 98k hands of 50 Zoom this year.

so thats $30/ per 1k hands

seem a bit much since the rake is capped @ $2.50.

ipoker is capped @ $3 and the average there is $32 per 1k hands.

Hmm that does seem a lot, would be interesting to compare with others.

6bb/100 is fine -- definitely not on the high side.

I agree 6bb/100 is fine, but I always assumed that Stars rake was quite a bit lower than ipoker, which is one of the reasons I don't play there even though rb is so good. Although I'm kidding myself if I think that I could ever actually put up with their software.

Yeah for sure it is useful to understand but I would definitely deviate like 100% of the time from it at 25nl just because everyone sucks. Also worth noting DC is just utter **** and full of ****s who do not care about the future of poker.

in this database; zoom 43,436-2165.17
normal 53,950-3292.75

could you expand on this -- especially bolded.

Just the fact they had generally produced **** content for ages and ages and had so many producers who weren't beating the games even compared to other websites. Then suddenly out of the blue blah decides to explain GTO to everyone in absolute layman terms and everyone is playing their range.

I mean it's not like coaches from other websites didn't know about these concepts, or even that they weren't widely known. But other websites realised how horrible it is to suddenly enlighten all the bad regs to how many leaks they have in the overall way they approach the game, wheras DC just didn't give a fk. Now they have also released 'applications of gto', so just telling people their leaks wasn't enough, now they are going to spell out how to fix them.

EDIT; I haven't watched these videos myself so hopefully they are utter dross.

I see. I'm not surprised you take the position you do, however there is definitely something to be said that it is their duty to provide the best up-to-date information. Holding back information -- especially when people are paying for their services is bad ethically.

Although there is some merit in playing 'GTO' versus unknowns, we can construct a 3b/calling range preflop which crushes our average population tendencies facing low stake opponents, thus being more effective than trying to incorporate a so called 'GTO' gameplan which is hard to incorporate anyway and is the prefered strategy to use versus opponents that 'use' a GTO strategy themselves.

It is their duty to do the most +ev thing for their subscribers.

When you have someone who doesn't even play any more making most of the videos, he's obviously not going to care too much about the games.

I only watch a 1 or two guys on there. Don't talk poker with anyone so that site is part of my learning process. Just brought Jandas book so going to have a look into that to.

thanks 100nl i assume.

weird id of thought for sure that the rake would be lower for 50nl/100nl guess not

Is the black card FTP -> cash conversion the best deal in terms of $/FTP?

I have around 15k @ diamond, not sure if I can make black card playing 25/50nl

uhm razed&cnfsd on leggo talks about playing and thinking about your own range since like forever

GTO's just a fad

I dont normally open A2s>A9s until CO but wanted to try and widen my range a little. Anyway, i feel like i lose money when i have a big draw OOP and face some heat because im never 100% sure what the correct play is.

What's standard on the flop here and as played was folding correct given his bet size?

Fine as played imo. His turn sizing suggests hes got a made hand and is not drawing. 8 flush outs + 4 straight outs (all to the nuts) = ~25% equity OTT (assuming V isn't drawing). If you were deeper you could call, fold given pot odds.

EDIT: all this time I've been over-valuing the ratio of players:entries... Games are significantly softer later in the day (AUS/SEA time) whereas I'd previously only play given a <2:1 ratio

I think I'd ship flop with ~12 outs to the nuts

probably folding turn as it's going to be hard donking the river and having villain call often enough to make the call on the turn +EV

Also it's going to be really hard to have some kind of donkbluffing range on the river as most of the best donking cards actually improve our hand :|

How is my sizing given stack depth? Is 5b shove too big? This tilted me because he probably had a3o or something. Was tempted to call river given odds

Running 43/30/10.5 over 50 hands

Just spewed off another few buyins.. This hand pushed me over the edge.

Granted it was a pretty ambitious call but since V reps nothing but air I expect to be ahead some of the time and have 14+ outs when behind.

-7 BI over 3k hands (Y)

i need to find a less expensive habit when i'm bored

that's -100bb/100 lol

ouch, looks like you ran into the top of everyones range!

i have a 3bet of 31% over the sample and am basically barrelling off pretty much everywhere at an absurd frequency. some range cold but mostly playing like a spaz

BL, run better next time. At least i'm not the only one today
