I'm a bad player, but I am still working on it.

Such a frustrating day. I should be stuck probably 3 buyins, but luckily I'm only down $11 dollars. Still, when you're up over 3 buyins in the first 300 hands, and by 1000, you end down, somethings fucked up.

I'm really really focusing on improving right now, but man this game can be frustrating. Here are some key hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246152 - Villians VPIP is really high, like 60s. I'm never good here, horrible play by me. I almost feel check fold is correct on the turn, but I know thats me being a pussy and results oriented.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246153 - This guy is solid but very passive. My river bet is so bad its rediculous. I should of just check called or check folded. I think betting the turn is mandatory.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246154 - Really misplayed this draw. I thought the turn would be a good spot to try and take the pot and it failed. My call was terrible, but I thought he'd stack regardless of what pegged the river if I hit. Bad assumption, and bad play.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246156 - This pla<x>yer has a huge range and is very passive. I probably should of just checked turn so I can pick off a river bluff. A 4 is totally in his range here.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246157 - So, I've talked to a few people on this one and most people say this is always AA or KK. I've never taken the limp minraise line as a monster, but more of a small to medium PP ba<x>sed off of what I've seen and the playback at my image. I heard multiple people say huge hand, (AA most likely), so my thought of fold equity is very bad here. Very poor play, good result. He ended up having a hand which I should have FE against, but he made a good call I guess. I luck box for a buyin.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/246160 - This is very situational ba<x>sed. I don't know how I feel. I had a read, and I went with it. However, the best pla<x>yers I know are saying this is pretty terrible. I really trust their input so I think I got lucky and caught someone with their hand in the cookie jar, but either way it isn't winning long term just like with the Ad4d hand I have no fold equity so that too is bad.

Here is a thread on LP about the JJ hand: http://www.liquidpoker.net/informatio...JJ_in_RR_Pot_vs_Frustrated_(se...html

So over the hands.....

I'm really disapointed. I'm trying very hard to be as successful as my friends and peers but something isn't going right. Maybe I played these right, I don't know. We'll see what you guys have to say.

Of course, its pretty hard to compare myself to my friends when all of them are outstanding. I guess I should be taking that as a blessing rather than trying to feel sorry for myself.

Side note: Listen to the new saigon, it defines hot fire.
