I have been playing poker recreationally since 2010 and currently, I am a Supernova grinding at Pokerstars cash game. I started my poker career as a Sit n Go player at Full Tilt poker and managed to build up a good bankroll for my adventure into cash game.
In my cash game adventure, I started grinding at 10nl in July 2011 and has since moved on to 50nl, grinding mainly at zoom (Full Ring).
Unfortunately, my cash game adventure has not been as successful as my SNG career. Although I attained Supernova at Pokerstars, I am just a breakeven player at Zoom 50nl. I found myself preoccupied with grinding vpps and getting Supernova rather than improving my game.
As such, I have decided to put in some serious efforts in improving my game, starting with the creation of this google site to document all the things I have learnt and hopefully, I can improve further.
Question of the Day
Villain is a 18/15 TAG who has high cbet% of 78% at flop and 65% at turn.
In an earlier hand, this TAG triple barrel on a Txxxx rainbow board and Hero folded. In this hand, we were rather deep and I chose to call preflop for implied odds and also since 3 betting will fold away hands I am currently beating as well.
