The Best In The Business

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but will you be playing any HU zoom as part of this challenge?

Will probably be refreshing to get away from the 6 max grind whilst gaining those precious VPPs

If I wake up early then I will look at the zoom pool, for example this morning I woke up at 10.30am and the 500 pool looked pretty meh, heavily weighted towards guys with 4 entries, but I feel like playing so Ill sit the highest stake HU that is running, usually 200 but occasionally 1k may be running.

I play maybe 2-3 HU matches vs very good players each week just to keep on top of my game. I think what makes a good player in 2014 is being able to win and play small pots with weak ranges very well and so whilst I 8 table zoom which is very very intense and fast playing HU sessions keeps my mind sharp for the small pots that will continuously come up.

The zoom emotional rollercoaster continues. Had 30 minutes to kill this morning so thought id give zoom one more chance.

[tight4better]

I need to start grinding zoom Would kill a little bit of downtime..

Also, I think it's a good idea to grind HU to keep your game sharp. I often play people I feel I'm losing against long run to learn a few lessons.

What happens if one or more of you end up on the same table in a tourney or is that just not likely to happen?
