Ok this is 2nl-5nl , im just not getting paid on my hands EVER ,i went 5 all ins with KK preflop and i was against aces ALL THE TIME , people 3-bet and reraise postflop like mad and they NEVER call you to showdown with worse.

I think calling stations dissapeared from these limits , all its left are some nits tags or crazy aggros.

I used to win on these limits easily but it seems i strungle now and the lack of software to analyze my play make it even worse , i cant really tell what i do wrong.

I think i need to become extremely tight , i also need to become far more passive with medium hands and maybe slowplay even more my nut hands? especially on boards without highcards.

Set mining seems very unprofitable , i even think to snapfold 22-TT if im not on LP.


Something changed overall in these limits , you can hardly make any value from draws because they reraise you with those hands and they dont call wide , i think bluff inducing is what its left from those players.

I managed to make one buy in in 2 days and that was very very lucky , i floated with gutshot to take it on turn but managed to hit it and won.
I lost like 6 buy ins in 2 days.

This is very bad , im confused.

I say let the game zoom because the variation is huge and it's very hard to be profitable consistently

Or playing this wrong, or is in a bad team, for whatever think to complain does not help anything if it Helped I wish I'd cry cry. It's Better to look where is the problem and solves it

my experiences differ from yours entirely i find so many people are prepared to call down with way worse, a lot of these guys don't have a clue on how to bet for value against a range, can't let go of there KK on an A high board, calling down with top pair bad kick, there are just so many fishes and even really bad regs it's unbelievable, it's a gold mine, i don't know how many tables you play but i run 6 and it's really awesome, you don't even get chance to remember when your value bet doesn't get called because there'll be another scenario just around the corner, VOLUME is king in zoom.

Totally disagree with you. Zoom is the game that you can well manage your variance with decent profitability.

You are somewhat unlucky. (You may be paid off by KK in the same way when you have AA)

But still, I think the way you are playing has great leaks. For example, floating with gutshot is not a good idea at this level.

You can post some hand you have played so we can discuss them.

Furthermore, if you are losing to your opponents as their strategies are solid, why don't you just imitate them and see the results?

You always have to be ready for swings if you are to play zoom. If you don't have the not only the nerve but also the patients to play zoom poker it is best to play normal ring game. Disadvantage in zoom is after every hand, we play against new players so it is very difficult to know what the players ranges are. Anyone can be playing any 2 cards in any fashion. No read whatsoever unlike normal ring game where if we sit for a few minutes we can figure out who play how or get a fair idea of. This is why zoom is more exciting and equally risky. :eek:
