December:

There’s been a mix of 25nl and 5nl Zoom this month, with 5nl being for times when I’m not in the mood for concentrating hard on study videos or 25nl. The first half of the month went well in 25nl, with a long break-even/slight losing stretch of bonus grinding and bad play towards the end of the month.

What did I learn?

- 5nl Zoom can keep the bankroll ticking along nicely. In fact, my hourly pre-rakeback is way higher than it is for 25nl as a result of playing ABC.

- ABC seems marginally profitable at 25nl, with the regs finding the fold button a lot more than 5nl/10nl: I definitely need to add some occasional creativity to my game.

- 25nl on FTP seems a lot harder than Stars.

Otherwise, not a huge amount of study this month, which needs to be rectified next month/year. The Harrington 6-max online book arrived from Santa however, so that’s going to be my focus in early January.

What did I earn?

5nl: $110 profit over 13k hands @17bb/100 (approx. 13hrs played)
