I am quitting zoom and going to regular tables - can't win at zoom

Hey,
Maybe the problem is within you (i.e. Mindset, strategy...), not in the game format. 
To be honest, Zoom doesn't differ a lot from Reg games. If you don't win at Zoom, what will make you win at Reg tables if your approach is gonna be the same anyway?

Rihard

Oh yes, I have huge leaks, but playing zoom was a bit tilting. I don't know how to explain it, but I feel more comfortable on regular tables.

I checked my EV line - damn. It's about 10bb/hh, but I won QQvsKK recently, so I'm gaining on that yellow line ♦
I can play about 1h30min long sessions. If it's longer, I start feeling light-headed.
Playing poker, reading articles, enjoying the game 
Today I'm taking shot at NL10. If I lose 3BI - going back to NL5.
And it looks like I'm starting to run over EV line, which is nice.
This is what I get for telling that I run over EV

Doing pretty good at NL10, I'm up ~4.5BI, which means I'm staying at this limit until I lose ~7BI
I don't know if I will play today so here is my December graph (and few days of Nov).
My shoot at NL10 is finished. This year startet bad - so much coolers, I even started to think going broke pre-flop with KK is unprofitable
Now I can't decide NL5 zoom or regular tables, will probably zoom for a while and see haw it's going.
Here is NL10
This week I'm taking break from NLHE and will be playing single table sng. will see how it goes.
GL HF
almost 2 weeks on sng's. first week went great, weekend - bad, 2nd week - bad. 
Played Turbo (roi 1.17) and Hyper-turbo (roi 3.43) 1.5$ STT's, both 330 tournaments +some from ipoker for silver status.
will continue this month and see if I can improve.
Hey Martins!
It's nice to see another Latvian trying to beat the games!
Keep it up, I believe you will succeed
SARAUJ!
Thanks benaars!
Found big leak in my sng game - calling allins, repushing. I can only get ~80% in icm trainer. But not for long 
Probably, I'm missing something, but what happened to your FTP roll and what type of SNG's you're grinding?

I had to withdrawal to buy some stuff.
I am playing 9man 1.5$ turbo and hyper turbo on stars.
Decided to move most of my roll to microgaming (again), will play NLHE and some sng on Pokerstars, FTP and 770.
Hey, man, where did you get this hand converter where everything is displayed in BB's rather than $ (currency) ?

But it's from pokertracker4,I think it is automatically -if cash game then money, if sng then BB's.And once I'm here...:
I am participating in Pokerstrategy HU championship. I didn't had to play 1st round, 2nd I won 3-1, 3rd and 4th 3-2. Waiting for 5th round, which will be last 16. Needless to say - luck played big part in this
Other then that, didn't play much. I thought of moving to MSS (less thinking=easier), but once PStars introduces max8 table change policy, it will be impossible to MSS. I will most likely play different types of poker when I want and if I have time for that (cash, HUsng's, MTT's).
