It can be brutal but that also works in your favour as well.Yesterday I flopped a set of jacks against an aggro player who hit a runner,runner flush with j3 but prior to that I had 88 against 2 players who had AK and AQ,the flop came A48,turn A,river brick. I always look in the lobby and see who is playing 3 or 4 tables and then watch them play their hands if I get the chance,sometimes I like to watch how a hand plays out if there is a lot of betting pre. I play fastforward rarely or as missions but I have noticed that the players who are playing 3 or 4 tables do generally seem to always end up with big stacks so there is obviously a winning stategy for decent players. I have read a few articles on this type of poker and the main advice seems to be being able to fold AA or KK post flop and do lots of stealing.

Well we are almost the same , i keep getting unlucky at PS and they just don't let me win anything serious , but i keep playing there for no reason , maybe because it's easy to deposit and play there ...

Yeah playing the fast / zoom game is a good way to ear a lot of fpps or monies but you can also lose lots of money there if you have some bad leaks which will be exposed if you play lots of hands, with a few hands the leaks might not be obvious ,so be careful mate if you have leaks like calling to see the flop and so on. Anyway good luck at the zoom / fast tables hope you win lots of money maybe hit a Good run and you are good for life mate. Cheers have fun at the tables mate and also have a nice weekend, it is Friday today so gonna rest and play poker a bit later on hehe.

I think you should have done this already. But it is good that you finally realised it and you will try to stay away from it. Imagine how mush bigger your bankroll would have been now. It is crucial to see what games are drawing you back and make changes as soon as possible.

your decision is a completely understandable one and therefore it can be tolerated, but you should always keep your eyes open, since demographic situation in north korea can have a huge impact on you fas forward, zoom or quick crap performance at the tables, near the tables and sometimes even under the tables
