It's Bovada "zone poker" which is their version of "zoom poker". This is all NL50 and it only runs maybe three times per week so I cant get much volume in. I deposited $100 to get my feet wet with the intention of depositing more to play higher stakes, but said fuck it I might as well see if I can run up my $100 a little. My bankroll is actually $646 but some hands havent been importing. Bovada lets you download everyones holecards 24 hours later so there was lots of valuable information to gather about how your average fish plays. In a nutshell, it's just very very weak. I dont really know how to describe it, just stupid random play. They'll minraise UTG with like A3s, or min3bet you with 22 from the BB, limp QQ and check/call 3 streets, overjam 88 after limping from EP, open ship a AJ5 flop with KJo, etc. I'm sorta able to piece together their likely thought process after analyzing the hand, but they're all just so very very bad there's almost no point.
I sorta developed my own "system" that basically involved playing the button as much as humanly possible and then using standard telltale signs of weakness to take the pot. If they dont cbet, I'll steal. If they bet something retarded, I'll raise. I probably cost myself a good 100 pots or so trying to pick off bluffs because I feel compelled to call river shoves when the hands play out completely randomly. I'd say 10% of the time I was right, 50% of the time I was "sorta right" because they were turning their hands into bluffs but probably didnt look at it that way, and the other % I was just owned by the nuts. Many of these spots were easily foldable but I'd call anyway just to prove how bad I run.
Anyway NL50 has been dead for almost 2 weeks now so I think I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and do what I originally intended to which was move up limits where they respect my raises. I'm gonna give NL100 a shot and maybe mix in some shortstack NL200 to see if I'm comfortable there or not.

So I've been trying to plug my leak in the CO where I'm losing the most. Quite simply, playing the CO sucks vs fish. You almost always get called by the button, and if you're raising light like most people do, you're just playing a shitty hand out of position. Once I realized this I would still sometimes do it and be like "is the button gonna call? I swear to god if he calls im never raising the CO again. Godfuckingdamnit he called, thats it im done playing the CO".
The rest of the stats kinda explain themselves. In fact I was actually going to go into detail about common spots and why I think such and such works, and then I started to feel like I was actually giving away valuable information lol. Figured I'd just post the stats and let you infer what you will from them. |

Try playing from MP. For some reason, when I go through my villian's stats, they all play MP the tightest, not UTG. Some even play UTG looser than CO and are profitable at it. Then again, some of them are actually 100NL players, not 4nl. |

Oh yeah I forgot to mention this is all half-stacking. Halfstack is the minimum you can buy in for on Bovada, so thats why I'm doing it. The idea is simple; there are no implied odds against anonymous players. With no reads on anyone, there's no reason to expect setmining or flush drawing to ever get paid off when you hit. You dont know if your opponent is the nitty type who can fold AA on the turn to a shove or top pair on the flop when he gets check raised. On too many occasions players are just making nonsensical calls on the flop that force you to valuetown yourself without any reads. So buying in for the min kinda puts you in situations where you can confidently bet all your strong pairs, and chase a few draws as long as the price is right. Of all the big hands I win most of them were never from big draws, so the opportunities just arent frequent enough to warrant risking 100BB+ against total unknowns. Any time I double up to 100BB I sitout and rebuy back to 50BB. |
