Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 5413244, member: 289533"] Hello Cardschat poker community, I am trying to figure out a strategy for Zoom games at Poker Stars 2 NL and 5 NL. 6-max First thing I would like to say, that I have learned with Nathan Black Rain Williams is to look to Stack Sizes before anything, and in Zoom I believe this is religious. The Stack Sizing of our opponents in the table changes drastically our odds to improve our hands postflop. The Zoom is like a Video-Game: The level Easy is when we are with 100 BB stack and trying to find an opponent with 90 BB at minimum. Why is that? Players who tend to go with 99 BB or less in a Cash Table are most Whales and Fished. Once in a while we are going to find some of these players with 99 BB or less playing a Short Stack Strategy, but it is quite a few and it does not change our overall strategy. The level Medium is when we are with 150-200 BB in a Zoom table looking for another player with the same volume of Stack Size. The level Hard is when we are with 250-300 BB deep in a Zoom table The level very hard is when we are 350-400 BB deep in a Zoom table and so on. I Play Real Money at Poker Stars, 2 NL and 5 NL mostly for almost an year and now I am making a serious experience in the Play Money tables and the conclusion of my experiences are listed below: A) Avoid to play out of position at all costs, specially when you are versus a player with 99 BB or less. B) Never call from any position, unless extremely necessary: the game will be mostly 3bet or fold. C) Open 100% range from SB when it comes in Gap and the Villain in the BB has at least 80 BB (If SB has only 100 BB) D) Avoid all OFF-Suited combos from EP (UTG/MP). Play the Off-suited combos from the CO and BTN when possible, when players ahead have a decent Stack Size behind. E) Never enter marginal spots versus short stack/broken stack players with 90 BB or less F) Classify players in the table not as TAG, LAG or FISH but accordingly to the Stack Sizes. I elect to use Light Blue for Broken Stacks and Red for players with over 200 BB. I also use Yellow to mark players who make idiotic things. G) Learn to fold the top of your range when behind even versus Broken Stacks or versus Big Stacks: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, AKs, AQs, AJs, ATs, AKo, KQs, etc FOLD because the important is not the hand but the situation we find ourselves in the table. To clarify some aspects of my studies and experiences I put my hands at Boom Player. I am open to opinions, critics, ideias, suggestions and also to form a serious group to study the aspects of Deep Stack poker. I believe 6-max Cash and Zoom games are the future of poker so we better learn how to play it perfectly. The hands I play today (November 27th, 2019) are here: [URL]https://www.boomplayer.com/poker-hands/All-Hands/Most-Recent?search=Aballinamion[/URL] Here are some examples of how I played KK Example 1) KK in the CO Deep Stacked versus a Broken Stack from EP: [URL]https://www.boomplayer.com/31980770_7DC7A6631D[/URL] Example 2) KK in the BB MWP vs one player Big Stack and other Broken Stack: [URL]https://www.boomplayer.com/31980520_EBCE370AF3[/URL] Example 3) KK in the BTN plays passively in a very strange board configuration: [URL]https://www.boomplayer.com/31980503_8788E5AE22[/URL] Regards; Carlos 'Aballinamion' Barbosa [/QUOTE]
