February NL10 FR ZOOM Medium stack blog

Starting capital: 56$

4 table zoom equals 12-15 regular tables. Imo its way to small br for nl5. Good luck tho.

sorry its actually NL10 as 10ct BB made a mistake. So i guess only more radical failure of bankroll

Hey churchilland,

Welcome to the blogs

I wish you the best of luck because unless you start on an upswing, your bankroll is toast.

Even as a MSSer, you only have about 10-12 BIs which is far too aggressive. On the plus side though you'll be playing against mainly BSSers.

Hope you can pull it off

Laz

Thank you !

I had my first session after the post. Nigth session, played since 2am 3 zoom tables. made some mistakes (have to learn from them), but overall not bad i think:

have few interesting hand

All in on flop - indication of a set?
overpair with a pair on a board

a set on a wet board

Question - do you guys think that playing night is less profitable than during rush hours?

Number of players goes down drastically from 900 to 200, and logic says that the biggest odds to catch fishes will be on rush hours. But also I think more sharks are that time too and if you look alot of different countries join tables at night - players from Brazil, Thailand, i assume they may be also recreation players who play poker for fun after work. So you can catch one or two fish and after all it all depends on your cards and reads. So to conclude i think there can be an argument that time doesn't matter anymore in poker.

But im not sure and will try to rethink after Ill have more experience in rush time. Any opinions?

Next time ill post at the end of the week with whole week results

see you at the tables

Good luck!

I play FR as well and kind of hard for me to adapt to 6max, I've heard otherwise is better.

About nights, hah, had +20 BI friday and saturday nights, NL2 though. Absolute goldmine.

Will be following

Hey, GL with the grind. Sick bankroll management though. ♠_o:

To answer your questions, I think it's big +EV to play late night cause there are less regs and the field is softer in general.

About the question regarding to SH..I guess if you are good at fullring, you should stick with it. I played NL10 fullring as well and it's much softer than NL10 6max, but I don't like to play with NITs all day, that's why I changed to 6max(altough there are a lot of NITs in 6max as well). The player pool is higher at 6max therefore probably more recreational player, and more reg of course. And if you are a MSS guy, I would say better stick with fullring, cause people fold more to resteals than in 6max.

Thank you guys !

unfortuanetly i didnt took long and now Im busted:

However I think thats not because of bankroll management, since i had good upswing and reached a normal bankroll level, but then mostly lack of discipline and concentration plus beads (variation) got me down.

Now i really have to rethink if I want even continue playing poker and if Im not having gambling problems. Funny how nobody talks about that on this site, because we all assume that poker is a game of skills and not gambling. Not entirely ture. You still bet money and take risk in order to win money. That gambling 101. Even with maths and odds you never know if opponent does not slow play stronger hands, outcomes ect. And if you keep doing that with no winning, one could call that practicing, but it can be called addiction too.

"Research shows that when gambling, the brain of someone with a gambling problem will produce endorphins. The brain naturally releases endorphins to soothe pain and they result in a feeling of great happiness, or a “high”"

Found this at - http://www.bigdeal.org.uk

So ill take time now to think about everything.

What stack size are you leaving with and what are you buying in with?

JCSeerup thanks for that video, i found what he talks about self destruction very useful and related. Im reading now a lot stories about compulsive gambling in poker and probably will write a new thread soon about that.

pitabread189 buy in minimum possible 50 bb and leaving 60 bb

Believe me, you don't have gambling problems.
