After talking with KillthemDonks and Night2o1 for a good length of time over the state of my game, a revelation was made. I had lost all the aggression I used to have in my days of naivete.
It all dawned on me when I called with 98ss from the CO against a reasonable player, flop came KQxss, he cbet, I raised 3.5x, he folded. Standard stuff. But it occurred to me that it had been AGES since I had semibluff raised like this with authority and conviction. I would occasionally bluff taggy players with air on dry boards, usually to no avail. And why should it have worked, when I myself had no faith in the bets I was making!?!?
Nothing is worse than fake aggression without force. Villains can just "tell".
Good things happen when you are aggressive. I might as well fail being aggressive, than fail while being passive and weak tight like I've been recently, wrought out of the fear of getting check raised, the fear of valuetowning myself, the fear of....
The danger is that I may fall into the pit of the aggrodonk, spewing away money in horrible spots. Hopefully it won't come to that, but even aggrodonking money away probably beats being a TAGFISH.
Here's a hand that is probably misplayed, but you get away with shit like this when you're aggressive and forcefull with your bets against the right opponents.

Night's reaction when I showed him: "LOL what are you doing. ... You're either clueless or a genius"

I've been through the exact same phases as you. EXACT same.
When you hit a downswing, you'll realize, "...there's a lot of luck in poker!"
Then you'll start working on making the best possible play in every situation, and things will start clicking  . |
