I have had my share of controversial posts regarding play at regular cash tables. I have found my own way, I am continuing to study and return to the tables where I have had problems and I am definitely making good progress.
So, this mail is written in good faith, please don't lets start any flaming.
OK, my thing is Zoom. I had given up on Zoom, I didn't like it, but I had managed to play back to a small profit and I left it there. Then last month I had some time at an airport, not enough to settle in to a cash game, but enough for a quick round of Zoom. I lost a couple of buy ins quite quickly.
I made a previous post about zoom and picked up some good tips, but can't seem to apply them.
Since then, I have been trying to recover the loss, but the funny thing is that this game is out of control for me.
It doesn't matter what I do, I lose, every session, multiple buy ins.
I can't seem to win any hand I go in for, I am constantly and consistently outgunned.
I am playing fairly tight, I am very careful with my hands, yet this one aspect of my game is a complete leak.
I would like to hear some further thoughts on Zoom as to why it could be like this. I am fully open to the fact that I must be making some major mistakes, but I am blowed if I can work them out. It just doesn't seem to matter, it's almost as if my hole cards are on show.
I have read a few guides, and watched a number of coaching videos, and those lessons haven't worked.
Zoom is clearly a different way to play. Where I am carefully bringing all my red stats towards the green (and doing well), Zoom is completely killing may stats.
I set long term targets, for Zoom, my targets were to play until I made a profit then leave - $1 per day at 2NL and $2 per day at 5NL. However, I only have to play about 50 hands to be 2 buy ins down, so my red line is tanking and not getting any better.
I would love to say some of this is variance, though I know you won't let me get away with that :>)
I will fight my corner any day with how I approach regular play, but for this, I am completely stumped. In the interests of being an all round player, is mastery of Zoom/Rush important ?
If anyone can offer any thoughts, insights, tips, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.
