It's an almost useless stat which gets way too much attention since there is nothing else.
I have ranted so much about it I deserve an undertitle .

NH btw Ankimo
sure thats like a major example how the ev line doesnt have to mean anything.

there are other examples too where hero shoves to aggressivly with draws.

Seaking - nothing to do with BBV but I have to say and I know its been said before but I actually think I'm in love with the girl from your avatar. Honestly, often I realize I have been staring blankly at it for long periods of time.

I wish I could LOVE her

Bart, it's not the ranting, it's the fact that he posts the hands while still playing at Zoom-tables. "As I type this, this hand occurs..."

Maybe its time to have a hard think about whether you need poker and whether you want poker in your life.

I would suggest requesting Stars to ban you from their games for 2 weeks and use that time to really carefully evaluate your options going forward. Its a hard plunge to make, but it might be best. Do you really want to be back here in 6 months time saying you spent another 6 months breaking even after rakeback?

I mean if your AIEV line is a clear net loser over that large a sample, you're doing more than one thing wrong.

Even if you're not a losing player due to sick variance (don't count on that, kids), odds are your winrate is at best about BE

gotta disagree on that one. its only 170k hands and he isnt a big loser. i think its highly unlikely he is playing as a big winner, but i would estimate he could easily be a 3-4bb/100 winner and produce that graph.

also its possible he just tilted a couple of times (63k-73k, and 104k-118k), if you remove those 2 small sections he is a moderate winner already.

pretty confident i could post different 170k hand samples with much more than a 5bb/100 differential.

of course the most likely scenario is that he is a moderate loser based on that graph alone. a winner when untilted, but likely playing a fair bit on tilt.

seems to be a common thing nowadays that tilt sessions dont count towards winrate

Zoom is devil confirmed.
Started this month with the goal to grind $10k at .5/1 zoom but stopped 10 days later at -$3,2k

Now back at 200 reg tables and feels much better. Dunno, it feels so hard for me to win money at 100 zoom although the average skill there is so bad, plus results of friends prove me wrong that its impossibru to beat with a high WR.

Won't touch it anymore tho

    There's definitely something about Zoom, the rake must be higher or something

    Since April:

    How I run at Zoom -


    How I run at reg tables -


    And yes, I've been playing more terrible than usual lately, as you can see :|

    zoom rake is less due to tighter play but the results make sense as you have much better reads on reg tables. Even with large number of hands on a villain, you lose out on the fact that they may be tilting from a previous hand.

    That's probably true to a certain extent but in my case playing so many tables I don't tend to notice game flow things too often anyway. Also I normally use Easy Seat when playing reg tables so virtually no table/seat selection, but maybe the other regs are doing some of it for me by breaking the table when the fish leaves.

    Was sort of joking about the rake being higher, I dunno what it is. There's plenty of godawful play at Zoom.

    If you run (and lets assume play) that well at Zoom. Your reg tables should be better ?

    cool graph, but i dont see 50k as a relevant sample. still pretty awesome congrats.
