http://luddite.liquidpoker.net en-us Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:39:27 -0600 http://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=643010 luddite I've been playing seriously for about 4 months now, although I haven't really played that much this last month. I started with $50 at NL2, now after like 300 hours and 100k hands, I have about $500. I can easily beat NL10, but I still can't crack NL25. I've taken like 10 shots at it, but every time I just quickly lose money and have to rebuild at NL10. The thing is, I do enjoy poker but.....

Straight flush: +6 Four of a kind: +89 Full house: +445 Flush: +323 Straight: +105 Three of a kind: +539 Two pair: -122 one pair: -609 high card: -434 Total: 344 Mostly I'm just shocked at how much money I've lost with just one pair, especially when you consider that...

Wow. These people SUCK. min raise min raise min raise, 2nd pair = nuts, nobody even looks at their kicker apparently. At one point, someone called off most of his stack with just A high. He didn't bet, he didn't make any attempt to bluff he just kept ...

Is this normal? It's really making me paranoid about my playing, I don't know if I'm playing differently now, or if I'm just getting unluckly now, or if I'm just a bad player who got lucky for a while. edit: immediatel...

I've been playing mostly full ring cash games, and I'm wondering if that's really the best way to go. It seems like a majority of people on this site play 6 max- why is that? What are the advantages of full ring vs. 6 max vs heads up vs tournaments? Alternatively, should I look at playing some other games like...

I've been playing mostly 2/5 on stars, but now I'm up to $240 (started with 50 just over a month ago) and I'm gonna move up to 5/10. Here's my graph. Haha I had a huge swing in the middle there- combination of heaters, coolers, and bad play. [IMG]http://i34.tinypic.com/f2mxps.jpg[/IMG] And here's my stats, any thoughts? Do you think I should raise PF more often...

It seemed like every single hand I was involved in, someone would shove in a weird place, and the most ridiculous suck outs happened. There was this one guy who was shoving preflop almost every hand. It got to the point where I had to start drinking to calm my nerves, because I kept getting sucked out on with good cards, and i KNEW I had the edge and just had to k...
