I just started playing Mid stack strategy on Pokerstars Zoom NL10 and i have a few questions.

In my first 9000 hands I am down about 35 dollars (with big swings from +50 to - 80).
So my question is can MSS be successfully played at Zoom tables or would it be better to play them on a regular NL10 table?

My second question is about my luck Bell curve that i got from poker tracker 4.
My set frequency is a little below normal ( i understand that's just variance) butt my straight and flush frequency is extremly unlucky.
Is this a normal bell curve for MSS strategy ?(

And i must admit i don't always stick to the strategy - ( set mining with smaller pairs, raising more from the button etc...). So a few thoughts on that are also welcome :)

Hi, Kula7

One of the things about MSS is that your target is big stacks.

I notice a lot of people playing zoom w/ less than 100 BB, so you may not have enough targets.

NL 10 and down 3.5 BI in 9K hands doesn't seem too bad.

Small sample size.

Full ring or 6-max?

Deviating is OK within reason.
Check poker tracker to see if you lose when you deviate.

I can't answer your poker tracker question, since I don't have it.

Cheers,
--VS

Hey Kula7

Isn't zoom perfect for MSS players? You can sit down, double up, sit out and join again with a smaller stack.

If you are just starting out and don't have a big sample on people I suggest you don't deviate to much. You don't know what they are going to do and you might make huge mistakes vs these guys.

Best regards

For perfect MSS play you buy in with 40 BB, Zoom minimum is 50BB so you'll never play it perfectly IMO.
