This is how home games look these days
Hello guys,
I am currently enjoying some nice vacations in London. Came here for a week and the weather did us some favours as it has been sunny for the last 3 days.
Since this is actually my 5th time here I saved my energy and time and decided to deviate from any sight seeing this time around. I am mostly chilling at my friends house which is conveniently located on a skyscrapper in the center
While I am here I decided to be more productive and started colour coding my stats and modifying my HUD explicitly for 6max zoom. I might post those later in the forums for review.
I also decided to check out the live poker scene in London on saturday night. I head out with some friends to the golden Nugget (yup there are two of them turns out)
near Picadilly Circus for some drinks and some poker.
The casino was very small, extremely small I would say, yet the poker tables were great. Playing an 1/1 games with a 5% rake and cap at 6 pounds was nice change to the 10% at my local casino.
Field was semi soft in my opinion. After two hours in the game I had a pretty good idea who was a fish, a bad reg, and a good reg. I was able to exploit most players on the table in one way or another. Had a very tight image but managed to pick a lot of pots with small bluffs and 3bets throughout the night.
Ended up +125 pounds which was nice, even though in my last hand of the night I had my AA v JJ cracked for a 190 pound pot ♠_cool:
I had lots of fun and stayed there 6 hours.
Other than that I am trying to refocus back on cash since my target is to move to NL25 soon, but for this to happen I want to play solidly at NL10.
Target by the end of the week: Dont be lazy. configure my HUD completely and start grinding that NL10!!!
Peace
Right after finish my last post I decided to have an NL10 session to start with my weeks target of crushing NL10 ZOOM.
Results:
Hands played: 2235
Tables played: 2
Session length: 5:46 minutes
Results: + $115
Great session! Run a $20 above EV but I dont care

Why wouldn't you want to 3b pre? He won't fold like ever when this deep, you miss ton of value.

Guy is a reg, and over a big sample he folds more than 95% to 3bets on the btn so on that spot I decided to take a different line to try maximize profit as his cbet is very high as well.
Also I highly doubt that this particular NL10 reg understands the concept of "being deep".
Hi elchipriota , nice blog
I was just wondering where is the "Mindset" bit in it?
I mean, do you have any mindset leaks that are affecting your A-Game just on Fast poker?
I do
Yo guys!! Havent updated this for a loong time!!
So new stuff with me:
Merged my ipoker and stars account (on stars) and started playing NL25 6max zoom.
Had my first proper session today for a +$175 in 4k hands.
I expected the level to be much better, but I saw many players doing very bad mistakes.
My next target is to take my bankroll at $1200 (currently at $700) and start taking 2 buy in shots at NL50.
@ Adasko99: Mindset in the title does not reffer to discussing mindset that much rather that I created this blog in order to help me get into the mindset of the 6max zoom format and be totally focused. But I do have many imnd set leaks and I am trying to work on them as well
A couple of interesting hands at Boom from todays session:
Great blog. I am playing NL10sh on stars just now too. I hope I don't run into you that much.
Hey nice blog and gl.
I subscribed since i started NLHE 6max regural + ZOOM last week.
