Hey, yeah absolutely. Not fish, regfish. I'm happy when they are in my games basically. Sme of them are amongst the biggest losers at zoom. A lot of them understand they can't beat it and despite spending 10k on a Sunday play 100zoom. A cheaper education.

Some of them are also ver very good such as luckychewy.

Ask yourself why didn't it work today?

If you don't know then record your next session, watch it back and ask yourself every 5mimutes what you could have done better.

If this doesn't work and you can't find out then bite the bullet and get a coach.

If you're ever unsure just post something on the forum, its what its here for.

Idd interesting statement and would love to hear more of that how a 1k/2k zoom reg looks at the players in the super high rollers.

Well most of them are probably staked or have small%s of themselves I'd imagine. I also imagine a lot of them couldn't jump into online games and be profitable but that doesn't matter because their hourly playing nosebleed live games is so good and the opportunity cost to win pots worth houses is so huge. It's not that they are bad they did the hard grinding to get to where they are they just make basic fundamental errors which would be almost instantly rectified after 1month of grinding online in today's games. Alot of them. Especially the Germans will be super awesome too and way better than I could comprehend.

I'm thinking about playing. Sme of the 10k€ high rollers and maybe 25k at San remo and Monte Carlo but ill only play if there is a lot of fish, and I mean real fish thus signifying that I don't think I have an edge against those guys or at least a significant enough edge to use reckless bankroll management.

One question regarding defending BB at zoom. Sorry if it already apeared somewhere, couldn't find it.

- youre playing zoom 100bbs
- sitting in BB
- facing 3bb steal from BTN who is somwehat reggy opponent with about 40-45% steal from btn and std fold3b of ~60%
- no history involved

How do you construct your defending range starting from beggining eg what % of hands do you defend overall (by both 3betting and flatting preflop) against 3x open from the BTN at zoom?

Again, I'm aware that it depends on BTN's tendencies but you have to start from something.

Thx

Vs 3x I probably play overly tight initially. However playing loose to see if he's opening his whole range and making a minus ev decision to get to showdown for future information is probably the nut line.

If he is opening too loose then I will punish him by having an overly aggressive 3bet strategy to punish his 3x Btn open strategy.

1)
i play nl25 6max. do you think there will be difference in winrate and anything else if playing 18/16/3/5 or 24/22/3/8 or 30/26/3/8? vpip/pfr/af/3bet. eg, they play against loose more than tight?

what optimal stats do you recommend to beat limits?

2)
Your opponent and you have 100bb stack. What do you do with your pocket pairs when you face 3bet from him?

i heard you say nl50 is tougher than nl100. it means i should skip nl50 and move up to nl100 from nl25?

hey man :

(from your blogs and videos ) I see that you are using PT4 and not HM2 ..

why do you prefer PT4 ?

I feel that there is a lot of missing details and states in Pt4 specially the whole note caddy stuff in HM2 ...
and there is a ton of more reports in Hm2

thanks

hi patrick,

hope it is no problem to push this thread. have heard in a video that you experimented with having basically NO small blind calling range, just 3betting/folding ranges. How is your opinion on this now, and how did it work for you? Would you recommend it? Thanks in advance and best of luck, greetings

I have like a -42bb/100 winrate in the bb, -18bb/100 in the sb and a tanking red line. For every 8bb i win blue line I lose like 6bb red line making me a 2bb winner playing 50/100nl. Esp the bb feels really bad to me. Assume sb is not as terrible since I like to steal the bb. Watched lot of vids in general but not with a really good gameplan. What would u recommend I do? I am a bit lost how to approach this. I know I play weak pre flop and post flop but just calling more pre flop and 3betting more without the skills also doesnt really work so far lol. Thanks

Hi pleno, just wondering if you could proivide you hud/popups etc?

I seem to have some trouble setting defined colour coding ranges.

Just moved to cash games from MTTs and not fully clued in on what colours should be for whatever stat range.

Thanks.
