Update! I was sailing along nicely at 200nl Zoom. My BR hit $25k so I took a shot at 500nl zoom. I played terribad and lost ~$9k or something, but was basically completely overadjusting. I made back $6k of it, and then decided to go back to stars.fr to complete the $5k bonus I've had swimming around there for a while.
I won $2.5k really quick, but then ran and played bad and ended up stuck $3k on there or something. I lost patience with getting the bonus and ended up taking ~ $4k of it and took the rest as a 500 Euro tourny ticket that I'm going to play a week on Sunday.
So after withdrawals etc and the downswing my BR was around $17k. Decided to go back to Zoom 200nl for a month, hopefully cane it some more and look to have $30k in a month or so's time.
Now stars.fr plays quite differently to zoom stars.com, and some bad habits have crept in. Well, must have crept in, as I lost $2k today and my stats were completely different to the $17k or so I'd won on there so far.
A quick glace at the stats shows 18% CO 3bet. That should not be so high. Also cold calling way too much again....... I decided a while ago that cold calling sucks in general.
I also made some insane 'unbalanced' bluffs. By unbalanced, I mean that I didn't randomise the bluff based on anything and essentially my bluffing frequency in those spots was theoretically through the roof. Some spots are so bluffable you might say ok I'm bluffing top 75% of hands that missed, some spots seem unbluffable but you should still have some bluffs in there relative to how bad the bluff at first glance seems, preferably randomised again by your hole cards. Anyway, my frequencies were not very well randomised this session and I must sort that out.
General thoughts of balance and my ranges did not enter my head much at all and again this is inexcusable.
So anyway, getting into back into the habit of winning is something I have to do ASAP. So I'm going to play a session now with the aim of ironing out the above leaks, and probably looking to bank the win if I get decently ahead.
Goals:
Randomise correctly
Don't CC much
Balance VS good players, or in confusing spots
Hope everyone is well........ dan
