My first ever family pot in zoom!

Everybody had a VPIP lower than 20% at the table... I was surprised to see how the hand will go down. UTG put out a sttradlle but than ended up folding for some weird reason.... If I would have done a better job of putting everybody on a range of hands I should have probably 4bet preflop to isolate some players and maybe take down the dead 75bb's:

Folding with 100:1 odds?

This month is going terrible for me. Weak volume, awfull results not a lot of VPP's, failed goals etc. Today I finally managed to have a winning session. I will post 2 unusual hands below:
Hand 1: Both villain are bad regs. The reg that had AA in this hand was 15/12/7 and he 3bet me 6 times in a row in this session. Finnally I eventually managed to stack him. The other guy that folded with almost 100:1 odds, was 14/7/0;   I really have no ideea what hand he would play that way... But at least he saved 1.75$. Good game.


Hand 2. Vs random villain, that I had 0 hands on. Well played sir:
 

Some helpfull poker tools

1. Poker Olymp Variance Calculator

A cool tool that shows you what kind of variance you will experience over a predifined period. In order to get accurate results you need a accurate long term winrate and your standard deviation (this is a stat that you can take out of your holdem manager and gives you an indication of how “swingy” your game is --- ex: mine is 59 because I am a nitty full ring nit; a 32/26/12 6max reg would probably have 97; etc). Below is a screenshot with what I get using my 2013 results so far:

2. Tilt breaker.

This is a program I plan to use next month, when I plan to do something very amibitious that I hope will help my winrate, volume and overall profit. Bassicly this program automaticly closes pokerstars, for hero when he loses x buyins in a session or when the program detects that hero is playing a less than A-game style/tilting.

Next month I plan to take out of my hm2 reports the: winnings, all in ev and winrate and play 1 month (my biggest ever volume), without checking results a single time. Tilt breaker should prevent me from going busto(probably won't happen anyway because I never had a losing month since I started playing on pokerstars and I have a 1000+ buyin bankroll). I will still continue to review hands and improve my game, but I will only know how mutch I won or lost, in the last day of the month. This will be a cool experiment that I hope will be +EV for me.

3.  Stars Helper

A worthy replacement for table ninja 1 (will likely not work anymore after the develepors decided to end the support in august and charge for TB2 a huge and -EV for me price =150$/year). I did not start using it yet but I am happy with the 2p2 player comments and everything so far. I really like the ideea of custom betsizing by position which will help me a lot.

fearless play

I have been getting owned by everybody these last days.... Nothing mutch going right for me, up until this hand. I finnally won a resonable pot. Villain was a random 20/0over 10 hands who probably had to go to a important meeting or something:

Best month ever in terms of volume. Really bad month in term of results and winrate... I took a shot at zoom this month, but I am not that pleased with my results... In june I plan to play at least 350k hands and try to make 30k VPP's, because right now I am 20k VPP's behind the 200k pace, ehich is not good. Here are the final may 2013 results:
