Sadly it's quality was ruined by YouTube

You'll have to full screen it if you wanna stack sizes ect.

[Drumstick]

Upload the original to http://www.jumbofiles.com/ and we should get top quality.

Edit - Never mind, I put the quality to 1080p and it's perfect.

gg Luw. I took a few notes through the video. Seemed like you were making one notable mistake every 15 mins or so and you picked up on around 80% of them straight after. To my mind, those mistakes aren't leaks at all. The nature of recording these sessions seems to be that play is 75% pre-flop decisions, so don't worry about the commentary, there's never much to say

I've been testing out Zoom Poker today.

It's 10NL and a tiny sample (about 4hrs, 2-tabling), but it might just be my new favourite game if I can continue to beat it at a decent rate.

[Clarkman]

What sort of strategy are you playing, sat?

[Psychic]

You should make a video too.

(This is no part down to me wanting to steal any good strategy I'm not using already)

[Drumstick]

I must admit I am tempted to try Zoom again. Might give it a punt this weekend.

(PLO, obv).

What sort of strategy are you playing, sat?

Well the first part of my strategy was to take advantage of all the HEM players not using a HUD by downloading the PokerTracker4 Beta which does have a HUD for Zoom Poker.

Generally I've been playing quite standard but almost everyone else is playing extremely tight. So you have to be careful when you get involved with a hand as your opponent often has QQ+, or AK. It means it can be very profitable to play suited connectors and to set-mine. Also, I've not been 3betting pre very often with hands like AQ or TT as you are usually dominated already so it's better to call and see a flop first.

In late position you can steal very wide, but everyone else also steals from LP, so if you are in the SB or BB you can 3bet wide against steals.
It's been a long time since I played any cash games but I feel like my post-flop game has improved a lot since last time, and with the nature of Zoom poker I'm finding it easier to lay down big hands where in the past they might have got me in trouble.

Just satellited into one of the micro millions (Event 82: $4.40 PLO $5k GTD)

It starts at 8am so I best get to bed.

[Luwinski]

GLGL!

[Drumstick]

Well that was worth getting up for. Lost a massive hand all in on the flop of 766. I had 8754 for a monster draw and the other guy had AAQT. He ended up making a flush after I made my straight. Still, least I got my chips in with 60%.

[Luwinski]

Playing anymore?

Playing the Online APAT Championship on WillHill - come rail!!

[DML]

I'm doing pretty well guys...

*touches wood*

[DML]

DML goes to bed (eventually) English APAT English William Hill Online Champion 2012! I cashed for £963.00, and I have my title on the way in the form of my first ever medal/trophy. I also win a £440 seat to play with the pros at a Genting Poker Series Tournament.






Thank you to those who have supported me to get to a first amateur title. For those who were not so supportive - thanks for the encouragement as well. Nothing better then proving people wrong. I really bossed this - never got it in worse then a race situation, and did it without receiving Aces once. So happy right now!!!

[Drumstick]

Congratulations!

For those who were not so supportive

Can only assume these are the people at your local club who like to get arsey with you. You should get them on here for Home Games, it'd be easy money.

[Dark Ritual]

Huge congrats DML. Awesome win

[Ecno]

I started railing but then I got knocked out of my tournament and forgot. Congrats.

[DML]

Well played Ben - you bossed the final table. Aggressive without being a maniac - I didn't know what to do half the time.

One of my opponents at the final table - I'm going to take that as a big compliment.
