No way this type of player shoves turn here with KK or AA imo.

Don't be a pussy Hap, get it in and take your medicine

Hap is confirmed pussy

FR Zoom is full of tight players ... need to respect their raises

Over 4200 hands played now ... running at 9.5bb/100 ... EV is over 16bb/100 so a solid start back in poker, especially after the debacle at the start.

Yeah you need to respect their raises... not so much in the weekends though where **** can get crazy (saw a guy open shoving Q8s just as an example), although today was a horror day for me (slight profits in the end but what a grind).

What did they turn up with?

Saved myself a few bb's ... Button had AK and BB had QT.

Turn and river were blanks.

2016: the year hap hazard plays more poker than me

Hi mate, hope all is well with you these days ..

Fancy another SN challenge with me this year ?

Kinda ****ty that the biggest winner in 25nl zoom is a short stacking piece of **** who buys in for 40bbs and happily blinds down to less than 20bbs.

Where can you find those kind of stats dog?

what's his sn? i probably have hands on him

Looks like you've got yourself a new challenge. Good luck.

Couldn't be better tbh, life is very good right now and looks to get even better. Youre on for the challenge, if i make it past 500 VPP's i'll consider it an impressive feat.

Hope things are good with you too.

Welcome back.

I can't really offer any advice on where is the best place to grind these days. I'm on FTP, mostly because it was where I always played, but I'm making the transition to 6max as Full Ring doesn't seem to run at 50nl and I haven't looked above that for a while. Wrt to Party I'm possibly going to be moving some of my volume there if I can ever get Netteller to validate my card to allow me to deposit some funds. There is talk of them removing huds etc from Party but it's all very vague and even the folks at HEM weren't sure wat was happening when I asked recently.

Basically poker in 2016 is all about uncertainty imo.

Good start mate, nice fold with them Jacks.

And then this barely shows up as negative variance. (2nd one with QQ today, other one I flopped AAQ vs AK and lost on turn 4, river 4).

What a pukefest of a session I just had. Thinking of cashing out and stopping again or just restarting at NL2, this game can tilt me so much.

Variance is a bitch. Just take a couple days off, review some hands, do some study and you'll be alright.

Cheers mate .... we are going to go at it this year .... just give me a few months to catch up with you
