I really enjoyed the video. You seem like a decent and right guy who shares everything he knows. And I also like that we think the same way in a lot of spots so hopefully that's a sign that I`m improving. GL!

Hey, I'm playing zoom nl25-50 and I recently got on a 35bi downswing and I started to wonder if this is the best way to approach poker. I would like to hear the opinions of some more advanced players what do you think is better for a beginner ?

Zoom or normal tables?

I'm thinking since zoom is somehow tougher you're forced to keep improving your game but the winrates and the edges are smaller and the swings bigger or grind normal tables where you table select and you're making more money but you're game evolves slower.

There are also other pros and cons but I would like to know from players who play higher what do you think is the best approach for your winnings/development/edge as a professional poker player?

+1 Even if it is as small sample villain is 20/14 which means that he tends to flat more pf so we can safely assume that he has many suited broadways in his range and since we don't block any spade we can incline villain's range to mostly draws(FD's + some str8 draws). So call river, if he shows up with a 4 or 77 take a note and move on! GL

Ok, thank you very much for your detailed response. Now I think if I just bet the flop , b/c the turn and c/c river would be the best play.

On the other side I have the J of diamonds so this blocks a lot of his FD's so theoretically I could do a somewhat nitty fold on the river

Villain is a 27/18/20 on 11 hand sample so his stats are not so relevant. My question is if this is just a cooler or I can find a fold on the turn, or maybe I misplayed it somehow?
