This is How Winners are made! zoooom

12 BI session, cant complain. 99% of the things i did worked and some solid hotrun.

Just fun how some random fish sometimes pop-up and randomly shove hands. ♦

This is supposed to be a reg, gg with his 30% 3bet vs sb from the bb.

Biggest lolhand i think. But perfectly fine imo.
He would've bet all of his value hands on the flop, secondly he raises 29% on cbet, so his turn raise is also lot of airballs. Didn't expect to get snapcalled tho.

Also a funny hand, i typed 'ugh' on the river, he said 'KK beats me', which was basicly besides TT the only combo's i was scared of. After he said that ii snapped. ♦

Lol regs with their stupid brainfarts, short session and 3BI down, 6 in <5min. lol

Biggest brainfart of all, no idea wtf he is thinking. Float flop is std imo, turn is mandatory stab after he checks. His ch/r is complete bollocks, only hand he reps is badly played KK, i even block diamonds so no draws either. So i float again. River is hitting my range after play 100%, so std shove, because it even narrows his range even more.

Some other hands with set<set and overpocket vs set on the river etc. A few might've been foldable, so many regs playing face up bad.

Deux grande sessiones aujourd'hui. Dans le premiére je gagne 8BI, dans le deuxième je perte ~6BI. Muchos setups. Totallements = 2BI+

Made some terrible calls, so i should've quit earlier. Also my first session was 5Hr's long, and won 8bi, the second one i played way worse and was only 2Hr's.. ♠

35BI up in february, the most i've ever won in 1 month i think, and we're only halfway. Only shitty thing is that it's nl50. Making nice volume tho.

TY ty, it's only 32 now tho Played a short session, but i should've not even started one. My mind is completely elsewhere. I immediately quit after i randomly shoved 88 into a squeeze.

Will watch a pokervid now and prepare for the coming week

Well that was my 'shot' at nl100 stars again. lot more decent regs, but still alot that suck. Dropped 5,5BI through stupid coolers and bluffs with which i blocked >50% of his valuerange but he still had it and my range was uncapped etc.

Also a hand where a fish with 9% fold to 3bet!!!, a reg just calls IP, so he shouldn't be strong, so i 3bet/broke AQs, he shows KK, like lol how terrible.

Hi Varune,

Is just a matter of time & a little of "run better" . As long as you keep disciplined moving down, one of those shots will get u established once and for good at NL100 i'm pretty sure.

How couldn't I see this blog until now!? Obviously subbed. GL at the tables!

It's always fun to read a Zoom crusher's blog. ♠_cool:

Thx nvaz, I was already a nl100 reg on stars some time ago, but with alot of cashouts and $$ transfers to other sites i dropped down some limits. NL50 is still my 'natural' limit where $$ is no factor whatsoever, but on nl100 i somehow get a bit fancy.
Still have to say stars is the toughest field out there, mainly cuz u can't bumhunt as hard. ♦

And hello JJWic3! Was already expecting you here.

Some lol hand in my latest 'rebuild' session. Reason why i love pokah

Now some hands from my NL100 session

In hindsight this might've just been a bet/fold on the flop. I now see the guy is playing 15/8, an obvious nit. The ace blocks alot of fd's, so he shouldn't have that much bluffs and my range is obvious Ax.

Me getting rather fancy, at the time i thought he would 3bet AK and JJ+ or so. So his nutrange is rather capped. I block 89 and my range is uncapped, so i float oop and ch/shove turn. Might be too fancy cuz i'm unknown for him and this board wouldn't get bluffed that much i suppose.

Also no idea what this reg is doing, the fish is only folding 8% on 3bets, so he should 3bet for value really wide. He just flats, so i thought his range was freaking weak and i 3bet/shove with the fish still in the pot.

Also my popups need alot of updates. Every time i watch some videos i see the most clear popups with almost every possible action. Mine misses so many spots.

Haven't updated for a few days, running like utter shit on stars.

this is my monthgraph on stars nl50, as you can i see i rapidly hit 40bi profits. Where i took 1 shot of nl100 and dropped 5BI(not shown in graph) and from there it's all downhill suddenly.

I'd rather just have a lower winrate overall, than have a massive upswing followed with a massive downer. Also made some terrible plays in the downer and played 1 day hungover, which made me drop 11BI on one day lolz, that wasn't really smart.

I keep saying on skype a 10bb winrate is possible on nl50 stars zoom, but not with these spew plays i keep making. The above graph is still 4bb/100, which is quite ok actually.

Gonna take a smallish break prolly of few days and just consider this month as being done. Over the whole month i'm ~exactly break even pre rb. With a highpoint of 35BI or so, thats quite rubbish. (ended 8BI up, but with buyin differences i'm be in $)

I'm just not thinking clearly while playing lately. Also have some neck/shoulder problems that got alot worse the last few weeks, so that is definitely influencing my game. As it's always distracting me and it's a pain in the ass. Visiting a specialised chiropractor for that tomorrow.

I know one fishy guy who has 8bb/100 over 200k+ hands so 10bb/100 definatly possible with decant play.

yourself?

With such a samplesize, you'd wonder why ppl wont move up.

Running a bit over EV though. I am a bit of bankroll nit still do not have 100 bi and feel have to get rid of few big leaks. And feels so good to actually win. A bit afraid that on NL100 it will be a lot harder. BTW u soul read me one time, glad u did not make a call.

Where i said u had AQ i believe? Something like KQxxx board where u ch/r the river, i had TJ that hand.

Think you profitted the most of my hungover day, my focus on a scale of 0/10 was -10 that day. ♦

Just got a 192 highscore on flappy bird.

[x] focus
[x] no life
[x] have to put this focus into poker

How did it went ??

Hi guys, we must have crossed paths. I'm curious how many buyins you got from me, cause I'm such a huge fish...
