Hi there

My Poker career at NL 10 seems to not work out well

My main probelm is that i win a lot of small pots all the time
0.80 $ - 1,60 $ but i lose most of the big pots ...8-12 $
I don t get paid of with my monsters ...
I win alot of small Pots on the flop
And i lose almost all my big Pots .

I don t know if i ve just bad luck or if play it the wrong way.

i ve lossend up alot preflop in the past few days cause i realised that i never ever get paid off with my AA KK QQ hands when i play too tight preflop.
Furthermore people are willing to fold alot on the flop so my wide preflop range allows me to win all the small pots.

So now i opend up from ~ 16Vpip 12PFR to ~ 26 VPIP 20PFR.

Basically i go up 5 $ winning 8-10 small pots and then i lose a 12-16$ Pot .... i work my way back + 1/2 buyin by winning lots of small pots only to lose another big 16$ pot a few minutes later.

Anyone had a similar probelm ?

The pots i lose are mostly
2pair < straight
trips < flush
2pair < trips
Top pair good kicker < 2 pair.

It seems that if i have something good and get called on the flop
I am beat T_T

But when i have set,straight,flush or whatever everybody instantly folds ...
Same with Aces ,Queens and Kings.

f.e

I get Aces
AA

i raise preflop 4BB
get 2 callers

Flop Q2K
i bet 2/3 Pot both instantly fold

but if they call me i am alawys beaten by KQ or 222 set.

I was so frustrated with my poker results the the last days
that i stared to play some SNG again.
But i lost 1/2 of my small bankroll

to incredible bad luck combined with tilting.

I have only about 50 $ left and i think i will donk them off
AT some SNGs just for fun. ( 50$ is about 36€ which is equal to 2 times partying at the weekend)
Then ill make a break

I plan start again at NL10 with a new 150$ Bankroll.
IN the near future.

GL everyone
