PokerStars Zoom No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (9 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($5.22)
SB ($7.89)
Hero (BB) ($8.14)
UTG ($5.76)
UTG+1 ($12.42)
MP1 ($3.56)
MP2 ($5.63)
MP3 ($4.72)
CO ($8.69)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, Q
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.05, 3 folds, CO calls $0.05, 1 fold, SB bets $0.25, Hero calls $0.20, 1 fold, CO calls $0.20

Flop: ($0.80) J, J, 5 (3 players)
SB bets $0.50, Hero calls $0.50, 1 fold

Turn: ($1.80) J (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.95, SB calls $0.95

River: ($3.70) 2 (2 players)
SB bets $1.25, Hero calls $1.25

Total pot: $6.20 | Rake: $0.26

Results:

Spoiler

SB had K, K (full house, Jacks over Kings).
Hero mucked Q, Q (full house, Jacks over Queens).
Outcome: SB won $5.94

Villain folds a shitton to 3bet pre so I call. Don't see value in raising river due to what I think of as zoom dynamic, when I see his hand on river I am still gobsmacked though.

Don't think this is the first time I've seen a line like this at zoom or anything, they happen constantly. What the hell is wrong with these players?

So, true.

I've seen the strangest plays on Zoom. People calling 3 streets with A high, people just calling river bets with the nuts and stuff like that.

All I keep seeing on there is pre-flop limp/call, flop check/call, turn check/call, river all in.
It's doing my head in because when I fold they show air and when I call they got the nuts X(

Usually a passive-passive-passive-OMFG SPAZ LIKE A SPAZZING MONKEY!!!! line is badly played nuts. Best to fold non-monsters. This is doubly true when they shove 100bb OTR into a 5bb pot.

Zoom is not for me. After transitioning back to regular tables I was doing pretty good.

I'm guessing villian got spooked with the 3 jacks and was worried you had a Jx hand so he tried to control the pot...this is how my fish brain works too :f_biggrin:

maybe I don't understand poker, but I think it's odd that NEITHER the hero nor the villain made any attempt to play for stacks.

+1 on that, plus 3betting pre was the best spot, since is not a 4bet like mentioned.
