CET= Central European Time, so GMT +1. Like if its 6 am in New York it is noon here.
It is 17:53 as I type this in Munich.

We're on Daylight Savings Time now (GMT-4 on the East coast) so 6am New York = 11am GMT+1. In the fall we go back to standard time (GMT-5) so then it would be 6am ET = Noon GMT+1. So germany doesn't do CST (the UK version of DST)? That's always confusing for us because there's like a 2 week difference between when the UK and NA switch back and forth that confuses the heck out of everyone, lol.

my bad, we are six hours apart, but you are right about this weird 2 week gap. I mean, why do that???

I'm still struggling to figure out exactly when is 'my time'. Is that like a timezone or something? How does it relate to 'est' (I always talk in 'est' time anytime I'm talking about online pokersites).
Next question: so is "in 8hrs. time" is that 7pm (est)? I'm being serious here.

assuming est is the same as aest (eastern standard vs australian eastern standard) tbh not sure if these are the same zones with different names. the times i listed are just what time it is for me. i guess you could crossreference the times i mentioned with the timestamp on the OP

Nope. EST is the time the East Coast of the USA. Boston, New York and the like.

Well to confuse the situation further, especially with countries that don't honor DST, the US is on DST right now. So the east coast is actually on EDT (GMT-4) now instead of EST (GMT-5). Merge used to not honor DST so for half the year their clock was an hour off, which confused things even more. Don't recall if they fixed that in 6.0 or not.

Quick update:
Its summer vacation and my daughter is taking a lot of my time. She is only young once and I dont want he memories be stuff like "watched tv all summer cause dad was on his computer all day". So I am playing but only as time allows.
That said, I am running a lot better. Changed from the Iron Lion to the Roots and feel it was the right thing to do. I play sometimes 2, mostly 4 and can get to 6 tables. Had 8 on Sunday but soooooo many fish, it was a +ev session. But mostly 4.
I am revamping my whole approach and like it. I think deeper about every decision, and am having better sessions. Had 2 bad days in a row, but the losses were pre AA vs KK (vs a real fish), set over set, stuff like that where I still felt good about my play.
I will post stats and graphs when I have sufficient # of hands.

Glad to hear about the improved state of things. Also glad to hear about the switch to Roots. So, in your role as Poker Zion ambassador give us an overview of the roots program. Promote, man, promote.
So far I like it. There is a guy from sweden who seems to do the first few weeks. He has a solid approach and a good way of explaining it. The first week is all off table basics, and IMO very helpful. Then it progresses into basic concepts but not as beginner-boring as I had thought it might be.They are all things we have heard before, but presented in a very methodical and easy to absorb way.
I am glad I decided to change.

Just gonna bump this up with an update.
I took a break for most of the summer school vacation to spend time with my family, but still managed to play some.
I am now gonna start playing again, but with a new schedule, and a new plan. I will start a new thread, as it will involve a number of new things. I will start anew with graphs and all. As far as my progress goes, I am starting over. I will post graphs when I have >20K hands.
This is the poker zion thread (and somehow it seems the poker zion interest has faded from CC) so when the course is over I will also give my 2 cents on it.
So far, my impression of the Roots is positive. I am at week 12. I wont go into any real "review" detail until I have completed the course, but for a player who knows the basics but is not sure how to implement them, I think the Roots is a good place to start. John and hid brother have both been helpful and I like all the instructors approach in the Roots that I have seen so far.

Was glad to see this update. I've been wondering about the state of our "Zionites" here at CC. Seems like everything just stopped. No one's promoting their site, and no one is commenting on the courses. Is the contest still going on to award sessions, or has that died due to lack of interest/success? Seems like I need to do a little searching on that.
I was, at one point, considering their course, but was playing SnGs at the time so I passed on that. I'm starting to dip back into cash now, though, so I may be interested. Will definately be following your updates/threads. I think I'm kind-of in the same boat as you and would likely start with the roots course even though I've been at this poker-thing for years now.
