Right, this old thing has been dead for a while..
So yeah, been trying BZOOM a little. Loving it, hating it, can't stand it, can't get enough of it. The usual.
Last week, I had the worst nightmare session of my life, had a -18BI day on Zoom, NL and PLO10, but it got better and I ended like -8-9BI down I think.
The BIG change here, however, is that I'm transitioning in my move to Zoom from FR to SH!
Today I had a two ok sessions, fucktons of suckouts and a few bad calls, but I knew they were questionable calls at the time, I just couldn't let go without knowing, so the thought process was OK.
The first session of the day was a measly 525 hands, before lunch.
SD winnings were awful, -1300bb, NSD winnings were like +1600bb, so one of them is going the right way!
This last session I was up 4BI near the end, ended about 2BI up, but with NSD being nearly b/e and all profit being SD.
So in the last 100 hands, here's what happened opened KK to 4bb, got 3bet to about 12, 4bet to like 25 rather than shoving. Fairly safe board came down xxQ, managed to get it in after some work, still somewhat happy about it, and he had QQ. I doubt the outcome would've differed, but it raped my EV line for sure. (more on this later, how I am going to try and play while IGNORING EV!!)
Had SC vs lower SC and fired two barrels with top 2, only for him to complete on the river, me having failed to notice he wasn't full-stacked(I seem to have the same problem as JB here :() Seems now from the replayer he started with 74bb and only had like 35bb left when the pot was already 70+, so I felt that I may not have it, but there was a chance he wouldn't have it often enough to justify a fold to a 25bb bet(which was one hell of a fishy sizing..)
Hand of the day goes to "Failed rivershove, dumbass call."
Open AKo on BU, hardly a surprise.
Get donked into on 726 with two diamonds for about 85% of pot, just call.
he bets another like 80% of pot on the 9d turn.
I just don't believe it, so I call, I have the Ad and all that..
He checks the river that bricked bigtime, Jh.
Now the pot is about 119bb and we have like 40 each back.. I figured there's a few different reasons for doing anything, but I'm pretty sure A-high isn't gonna take it home.. but how much fold equity do I really get when we both only have about 1/3 pot back? Anyway, after a few attempts at coming up with something sensible to do, I figured shoving was the way to go.
He called with 2h5s and took it down with 5th pair way to defend your BB bro!
Anyway, going to consider reviving the blog, since I always propagate to our members how important it can be to have a blog to track your progress.
I'm horrible at updating this thing though. (And at staying with one gametype..)
