I understand. I don't think your skill is coming into question, just your aptitude for playing zoom style poker, maybe. I am very new to playing online cash, and after playing a lot of reg tables at 5 / 10 nl, I can definitely say that Zone taxes my pre and post flop skills quite a bit more. There is also a definite amount of mental toughness that you need to deal with the swings, which can be wayyy more stomach turning than playing reg. But, everyone gets cold decked, everyone runs kings into aces for the 3rd time in one session and wins the blinds 3 times when they have aces, everyone gets set over set twice in one day after running cold for a week, this is not what you should be focusing your energy on. I am curious to know what your warmup / cooldown routine is for playing cash. Do you study hands before and after you play, or do you just jump right in?
And, not trying to be condescending, I am LEARNING to play Zone. I think it is an integral part of learning to beat the game, as it helps develop solid fundamental play, and really exposes you to some of the real variance of NLHE cash.
