Lost faith

have you thought about nitting up abit, at least untill things are looking better? I dont doubt that your style can be much more profitable than if you play tighter but it would reduce the variance for you. Youre 28/25 so far for me, thats veeeeery loose for ipoker, again i dont question thats its a winning style but clearly not the safest one.

i would say u running bad looking those hands nothing bad with your play

keep the head up, the numbers will balance themselves out, hope it changes for you glgl

keep the pot cheaper when you run so bad, and try to figure the hand of your opponent, read them....
when you reraise 85 with your QQ how can you have a read on that hand..the guys reraise you..and you still call..you should save your money at this one...with your 10 against k too..i think ..play more soft..learnt how to fold
GL m8...work hard ..terrible set up..too

you dont ever seem to take free cards in position ;0

a lot of the hands are super standard. some other ones i commented on.

I'll be willing to sweat you a few sessions if you would like some input.

I know these huge stretches test the limits of your sanity but you'll pull through.

It seems like your so focused on winning and losing that you're just desperate to win big pots. For me at least lately I'm trying to build my game around dominating in small and medium pots especially from position where it's easier to mix things up a bit and put opponents in tough spots.

Nutshell:
1. Dominate in small & medium pots from position like you have been.
2. Nit it up with respect to playing large pots, try to get all-in only when you're virtually certain of having the best hand.
3. Profit

This is not to say that there is anything wrong with your style of play, but theres no arguing that it is going to be a high variance one and there may be other styles available to you which can profit more consistently and with less risk. Granted I'm a moron and don't play high stakes so there should not be much weight given to my comments.

I dont know if those hands is 100% representative for your run, but looks like you run like SHIT...

go to amazon.com and get the "Trump Think big and kick ass in business and life audio book"

you should find faith....


..I mean fayth. hes been here, and got through it. he can tell you all about how you are just in standard downswing and give you ideas of how to get through.

sauna beer and chicks"...,make a break

yeah almost all of those hands are really standard, i commented on most.

coaching/having somebody sweat you is probably a good idea, although it looks like you are playing well and just running bad. gl

a bit too aggro , but other than that yeah bad run def.

In general, you seem to force urself into tough situations unnecessarily often. This is not based only on the hands you posted in this thread, actually most of these hands are quite unlucky.

I went through the hands, so here are my comments:

AQ vs KK: its hu so this is of course very player and game flow dependant, but I still think it is generally better to bet the flop given its nl200 hu. This call down option is definately good vs very aggro players, but tbh I think most nl200 hu players arent that aggro. Once you decide to play it like this, there is prolly no more to do and yea, you got unlucky.

KK vs 9Js: river seems to be very close, not sure what exactly do u beat except a bluff and not sure whether you are good often enough. But yea, people are often crazy, so I would have hard time folding here too, most likely couldnt do it either, unless I knew he was very passive.

KK vs 67s: ...

QQ vs AA: this is opponent dependant a lot. Most players will be usually quite strong when reraising an utg raise from utg+1, unless u a have been very aggro. I dont quite like the line you took, as you will so rarely get paid off by worse here, maybe TT/JJ sometimes. If I decided to go all the way with it, then I would prolly check-called flop and check-raised allin turn. But I think you sometimes gotta find a fold with QQ there vs tight players.

AQ vs 76s: ...

AJ vs KQs: bad luck obv, just if i wanted to get it in on most rivers, i would prolly bet somewhat more on the turn.

T6s vs J7s: ...

9Ts vs KQs: hm. i dont like this too much. this is only good if u think he is floating u a lot here, but i doubt it really. If u think he is weak, then i think it is way better to bet the turn than check raise, because he is often checking behind with weaker holdings and only betting strong holdings or bluffs. If u think he has the K, then I think c/f turn is best or c/c if u think u have good enough odds (inc. implied odds obv).

KQ vs 99: ...

Just my thoughts.
Wish u better luck!
