hi! you might know me from posting somewhere in these forums over the years. if you don't, then well, whatever.
i started lurking in here due to a few friend recommendations, with zero money and zero knowledge. i eventually got the pokerstrategy starting capital, found my true love in the fast fold cash games (beat up to FR50) and grinded it up to some cool thousands in lifetime winnings with a lot of breaks and without ever depositing.
i would describe myself as a young talented lazy university student with the short attention span that is so common in this new generation and, as such, i love zoom.
from the very beginning, when the lowest available fast fold limit was FR5 on full tilt and i wasn't good enough to beat even that, i would already spend a few BI in shots there... then black friday came, and i was sad and grinded on everest poker (which was not under ipoker at the time), but as soon as zoom came to stars i moved my roll there and never really looked back at normal tables since.
my thoughts on the matter are: normal tables might net a higher winrate, but zoom is way more convenient and, most importantly, FUN! and, uh, a few more things which i don't want to elaborate on.
imo my biggest leak doesn't actually show up in my winrate, but it makes me lose A LOT of money anyway (in opportunity cost). that is, despite clearly being a winning player in my games, i switch interests very often and lose motivation very easily, and as such it's not rare for me after a few bad days to just randomly go a few months without playing at all.
even if i'm tired and/or busy with uni, my C-game should at least be breakeven (winning with rakeback)... it's almost as if i don't like money, what the fuck?
so anyway...
sometime in the past year, i worked up a profit sharing deal with BrokeSoBroke behind the shadows
worth it, i refined my zoom ideas and increased my vpip/pfr in a few points, all that while still managing to fold less! i also definitely have to thank him for being very understanding with me with regards to my university and mindset situations.
so well... for this year, i'll try to go for supernova and climb a bunch of limits along the way! it's definitely not "hard", but it will require not randomly quitting the game. ![]()
i'm currently playing sh25 zoom with a super massively huge bankroll of a bit over 80BI for the limit, going to move up when i feel like it.
i'll be posting weekly updates, because daily updates suck for a variety of reasons.
oh, sometimes i also evaluate hands as a voluntary hand judge in the nanostakes forums!
i've played a fair amount of hands at these limits in the last year with what i'd call pretty good winrates (nl5) (nl10) and, while i don't evaluate much, when i do i try to give it my best effort and i hope that it shows. cya!
