1.I like the format as it fits my lifestyle best.

It allows me to play many short sessions throughout the day as i dont have much free time. that was the main reason I switched from mtt/sng to CG

And i think fast fold CG are the future of the game.

2.
Only difference in zoom is that you have to get used to play against tight ranges. ie steal more from late positions as people dont defend as wide, learn how to fold big hands against v.tight opponents.

3.
Play hard . Study hard
This includes posting hands fore evaluation, talking with friends on hands, using software etc

OTR maybe it was best to bet larger or go for a check raise, i ll ask the judges

River: you need to think about the hands he can have here.

A:h - Maybe he raises on an earlier street, maybe he calls down but if you check he's definitely going to bet. I am not sure if he calls a c/r with A:h, but if you bet I think he's likelier to just call on this pairing river.
K:h-J:h - He is probably checking back on that pairing River but he may potentially put in a small bet
Full houses - He will raise you if you bet, and he probably never folds if you check/raise
Small ♥ - He would check back if you check, he may potentially call if u bet but that's unlikely.

How often do you think he's gonna have each of those? IMO Kh-Jh aren't common, he probably only plays the suited versions of KJs QJs JTs etc. He could have A:hK A:hQ A:hJ

Pocket pairs aren't calling too often on the river unless there's dynamic or unless you bet really small which makes you lose value vs stronger hearts.

I think c/r is probably the best line for max value against A:h. He should have many more combos of A:h than K:h-J:h. You can try working this out on your own though.

Thanks

Hi, hand 2. WTF?

MP showed K 8 and won $88.05 ($43.90 net)
Hero showed T Q and lost (-$44.15 net)

i am assuming villain is a fish due to stack size, i always ship it in on river for extra $12 though. will see worse flushes/sometimes even 5x in this spot.

Yeah the fact that we have AQ10h as blockers makes it a very easy decision.

results oriented

absolute no brainer river value jam vs fish, nh

I am really happy today, just finished my best session ever

20BI up! Thats crazy

Total for the day 25BI up (5 BI over ev) in 10k hands ♠_biggrin: ♠_biggrin: ♠_biggrin:

I started the session really well kept grinding my stack making the correct plays and even though I started making a few mistakes due to fatigue towards the end (causing my red line to go down a lot) I am still really happy with my play today and of course of the results!

I will post a few hands tomorrow so we can have a strategy discussion for anyone who is interested.

I forgot to mention that I got my first 1000bb++ stack in zoom nl50. (Achievement unlocked :P)

Graphs and proof

I need a long sleep

Holyyyyyy!!

Wow, that is SICK

Do you normally play 10k hands a day?

AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa gz!!!!! wow!

Lol insane stuff!

Sick. So sick. Keep it up and coach me soon please!

Thanks guys for all the support!

Last month i didn't play a lot as I had 5 exams in the end of May and I had to spend time studying.

But yeah 10k hands in day running 25bb/100 is fkn mental

I am 20BI under ev this year so i have to catch up that orange line!

I finished my session review from last night and posted 10-15 hands for evaluation. I will be posting a few hands on my blog in a bit.

GG dude....

If u want to talk about zoom sweat etc etc...
I will be glad to add you on skype...(I am not result oriented btw)

Keep it gooing,Insane HOT RUN...
