Thanks Logan I have now been tabling 4 tables since you said too many tables... Every session has been winning now 
1100 hands today and up just over $8.
Started playing 5nl.. feel a little bit more confident again with the cash tables getting my mojo back slowly.
Tonights tourney perfect poker until I decided to shove top pair weak kicker against table big stack with bigger kicker lol. Thought I had a set as well, so might've worked deeper but I didn't have the equity due to my medium stack size oh well. Pretty annoyed.. Was well on my way to making it to cash as well again but my fault I got carried away when I didn't need to.

766 hands and made $10.66 at 5nl...
Played 2 tourneys a 30k gtd and came 600s out of 5187 annoying ak running into AA deep stacked pfft! 540 started to pay.
And 1.10 tourney I came like 170 and bubbled again.
Going to slot in tournaments on the w/e since I'm pretty consistent but still play cash everyday

Don´t 4b AQ for value on 2nl, people don´t 3b enough there and when they do is mostly for value so i don´t see AQ ahead of much to 4b.
QQ, I 4b vs specific villains, but mostly flat 3b´s.
Glad you are doing better with less tables. GL on 5nl.

I just watched a video on facing 3bets... It said that AQ should be similar played to KK (better flatting the 3bet) cause if you 4bet you are forcing a ton of their bluff or weaker range that'll pay you.
Hmmm also seems I'm calling too many 3bets with weak/awkward pairs as well when I should just be letting it go because sets don't get paid off enough lately unless it's a fish or spewtard.
And in position your better off 4betting 44 from a steal... cuz supposedly calling a 3bet from a steal is just setting money on fire

It really depends what stakes video was aim for, i really don´t see AQ be even close to KK value, so usually don´t flat KK to 3b´s for example, and i could fold AQ vs 3b´s vs some villains considering villains will 3b AA/AK but not AJ for example, so we are mostly dominated, and with KK we still above QQ/AK, don´t want to flat KK and see a Ace on flop 1/3 of the time and fold to QQ .
So i don´t see those on the same level, i see AQ more like QQ and AK more like KK.
Agree on the not set mine with 22-99 vs 3b´s.
I don´t worry much about having a 4b bluffing range on this nano levels tbh, people don´t 3b enough to 4b bluffing be profitable in the bottom levels.

I am currently mass tourneying low levels.
came 15th with a low 4.40 tourney ($20 win) out of 400 or so ppl unfortunately my wife decided to wake up and walk out but I also ran into a set with top pair so I cant blame her
done some winnings in timing games and scraped the bottom of the cash another time with a few not making the cut
Anyways just letting peeps know I'm still playing but focusing more on tourneys atm.
oh and won 2 sit n go's out of 4 yesterday very unortho, i'll be back with cash eventually so yeah
But yeah taking a break from cash for a bit because I'm frustrated with it or thinking in a tilted manner, but I feel I have an edge in the tourneys for the moment so if I can turn that 20 into a bigger win will be much better btu not bad.
I'll be back posting cash soon. I'll keep ya's updated if I score another decent win ... but the $20 is probably the best so far with minor winnings along the way.

Playing live at the casino tonight... Been just itching to play there miss getting the cards dealt to me and hopefully it's as fishy as ever.
Wish me luck guys
Played tournies on stars and come close to a few... bubbled a decent tourney which pissed me off trip KK allin shove and he calls with A5 gut shut and hits it ... I mean after 3 hours how can someone chase a gut shot lol
Anyways enough about sooking I had a few minor cashes and 2 decent cash... so keepin it afloat... Zoom 2nl been doing good but I've lost more than I've invested with tournies but its good to get some xp there.
I'll be back to 2nl zoom next week and make up a tournament night where I can stay up no distractions online and go big , I mean i'll at least do 10+ tournaments minimum with timed which I do like the 30min 15min and 60min tournaments I seem to be slightly infront with them...
I've found the rebuys are killing me mostly so I need to avoid them.
So typically stick to 2nl micro zoom
4.40 tournaments online and under and not rebuy ones unless it's the cheapest of cheapest cause that is whats killing me the most the rebuys.

doesn't it make you sick? I know my hands not great either he had 62 so he had flush draw. I can't help notice a lot of ppl bluffing and betting with air at zoom 2nl so I went with betting any top pair hands thinking I should be ahead majority of the time. I was right but ran into some bad beats

Not a fan of that line, only reason to flat the 3b should be to hit a big FD or SD but our ace is garbage and need to be careful because will be dominated a lot for AK/AQ.
On this flop we are crushed by AA/KK/JJ/AK/AQ, all included in a 3b range, so shoving flop looks bad.
ul result.

im quitting poker... had enough I cant see how it can be mastered even with the math and problems...
Too much varience even when ur infront ... I get ahead and sure as hell can tell the bad beats are coming..
Arr screw it I gave it a shot and ive had enough of poker... and all I see is ppl trying to do the same thing and not accomplishing as well.

+1 to leaving zoom tables...get on reg tables and get position and reads on fish ....and even better once you have position on someone spewing money hand over fist , you still have position on them hand after hand until they go busto.

Yes i'll be avoiding zoom and rebuy tournaments.
I guess i'll be doing a 1:100 ratio with tournaments. And I just don't get why I didn't win on zoom, I didn't even play tilty perhaps my robot game is off.
But 1 thing for certain AK and QQ really got exploited. I could post a couple times where QQ actually was infront and got smashed everytime lol but oh well... Yes i'll be taking a break for a while because I'm not in the right frame of mind.
I'll still be doing my weekly tournament though which I havn't been able to go to the last 2 weeks... I need to organize some more home games as well... And accumulate a big bankroll on the side.
But yeah taking a break for a while... Will be destroying fifa 13 and chess for a while
