Took a shot

So took a shot at .5/1 zoom with my $1100 bankroll.

Just 1-tabled and only got through 112 hands until I had to quit.

Played one hand badly, I think, where the opponent took a really weird line. He xc A62r, then donked a 9 which brought about a flush draw. I thought he was full of so much shit. And instead of raising here I decide to just call with KsJd so I can shove over his river bluff. Don't know what I was doing, but overthinking myself at a new level. Then the river is Jh, and he slightly overbets pots. WTF!?!? I want to say he has 78ss, but weird that he'd even xc that on the flop. Maybe 34 or 45ss.

I have some equity in the hand now, and decide to look up this overbet. He has AJ. Fack!!

Not getting much, stealing some blinds, 3-betting AK and getting folds, etc. Down about $50 at this point.

Get 97o in sb. Folded to me, BB is like 12/8 over 8 hands or so. I make it $3. He calls.
Flop 8TJcc. GIN!!! I bet $4, he makes it $14, I go $33 so he can shove worse and think he's got FE. He shoves, I snap call. He rolls over Q9. FML.

No split pot. I quit.

Back to .25/.50. Not taking another shot until I'm at least at $1500.

Rearranging my living room now. Can't see the TV from the dining room table. Living room/dining room are essentially one big room. I generally play poker at the dining table. Moving TV to the other side of the room so I can see it.

Feels like time for a change anyways. It's been this way since I moved in in September.

Will hit the tables after clearing my head with the move.

Cheers

rinse/repeat, for 100 nl i recommend around 15-20 buy ins for shot taking. 30 is comfortable.

im at 50 nl as well however i use to play at 100 back when FT was booming when every tom dick and harry were playing anything up to 200 nl and the games were really good, now you have to be decent at game selecting to have a decent hourly.
