casual chill ZOOM pokers

ok so here's the weekly

nl50:

nl25: (this doesn't include what i played this sunday, which went great)

let's add a few hands

the main thing i don't like about his play here is that his sizing is too large preflop. postflop is ok imo, but might be thinner than it should because of his pre sizing

and lets do the monthly recap as well

nl25:

nl50:

hands: 18331
profit: $173.77
ev profit: -$71.55
vpp: 2817.38

so i'm already a bit behind schedule i blame sucking at nl50 which hurt my confidence (and thus volume) and i'm also involved in a few life projects, but i should have played more anyway.
all in all a pretty garbage month pokerwise, let's see how this next one goes

@ Tomaloc: wow, I even got more vpp's in January and I only play NL10 and run much worse. So no excuses and put in that volume :).

i think villain missed a clear valuebet on the river here. might be a bit scary but worry about the raise when it happens

Whats the river vbet against?

how strong is my range here? only slowplays?

Hard to tell, but what can you have? Maybe some few 6x and 9x hands. (some of them youre betting yourself) Hands like AQ, AK you're not calling on river. If youre c/c hands like 88, TT on this board then maybe we can find value bet.

as you say, my range is full of bluffcatchers and so you have the best hand super often. we might differ about how thin it is but at least put in a suckbet, pretty much no one is going to turn bluffcatchers into bluffs here

Hey tomaloc,

Good to see a fellow bsb guy on the forums!! I really should get blogging gl and I will see u in ur limit very soon!!

Stu

hey, thanks stu

how do you punish yourself after making some dumb calls where villain obviously has zero bluffs

tfw losing 3.2 buy-ins in 97 hands

Im running like a god then, lsoing 3 buy-ins in 320hands ♦

yeah that's like a 3 times better winrate

i'm apparently about 20k hands behind schedule fml

i'm running into past year problems again, having trouble to fit in uni, playing poker and "others".
little time, when i play i'm tired, and if i lose i'm not sure whether to blame runbad or playbad...

had a terrible streak of sitting down and losing these weeks and i'm not sure if i can really win with my C-game, feel like my play was really not up to par
i should probably nit up, cut on the marginal spots and reap the benefits of my image. but i just can't bring myself to nit up ♦ i should really find a way to do that somehow.

at least today things have been going ok for a change...

sometimes my opponents feel the need to state how their playing skills are vastly superior to mine. rude

Hey, man! I've got the same objective for 2015, getting Supernova. I'm also playing NL25 Zoom at the moment, but full ring. I've added you to friends in case you want to exchange skypes and motivate each other
