Sup everybody. I recently have a lot more free time(KEY WORDS: A LOT) and I've been dabbling in some very micro stakes zoom once again and have decided I would like to share my progress and interesting spots as I go along.

I've set a few goals for myself to try to accomplish along the way which are listed below.

- Average 5h day of playing time (set the bar high, like I said A LOT of free time lol)

- Close sessions when tilt or fatigue result in bad decision making regardless of volume goal.
- Stay at 2nl until I have acquired a very large sample of hands to study and learn from and feel confident I can have success at higher levels.

- Discipline. (Play good or don't play at all. Commit to volume goals regardless of how the session is going as long as I feel like I am making good decisions.)

Now I know it seems insane to try and commit that much time to just playing 2nl but the thing is........ im ****ing insane ....


I look forward to sharing and learning with everyone here on CC, lets **** shit up!


All that being said here's a graph to start off this useless and mind boggling 2nl challenge:

Running hot to start it seems, last session was a doozy some bad play and some cooler spots ended up closing session as i was tired and not making good decisions.

Good luck to everyone on the tables! Remember: If you're not enjoying yourself then what is the point?!

I'll post some hands tomorrow when I'm not as tired I've got a bunch tagged that I wanted to review and share.

GL!
2nl zoom is pure garbage imo. cause there are a bunch of people who play very weird & no patterns & you don't ever get a decent sample of them cause they never stick for at least a couple of days.
You'd have a better win rate on 2NL regular tables. I hold the same opinion on 5NL but 10NL+ it's different

I disagree. 2nl zoom has always been kind to me lol. I can never get the volume I want in on reg tables and I play differently for some reason. Although I did at one point 24 table 2nl FR reg tables with decent success. My laptop doesn't run too many tables all that well with PT4 running so zoom works out for me in that regard as well. Thanks for the input though I do appreciate it.


Gl in your challenge
Thank you GL to you as well.
