I think the KK vs J9s, 9T vs KQ and AJ vs KQs hands are played pretty poorly.

I'm also unsure that I like the QQ vs AA hand but it's debatable.

I have lost faith in both the idea that Im a good poker player and the notion that poker is a game of skill. I have moved to ipoker but my luck isnt changing and Im down about 2k since the move. After running bad for so long I find it really hard to make good thin folds and I keep questioning every aspect of how I play this game.

Todays biggest losers, I would appriciate any opinions:

I feel like I outplay almost everyone in the small pots but everytime i play a big pot I seem to end up losing. Im probably going to try and get one hour of coaching or something I think it would really help to have someone look over my game.


peace

For what it's worth, and having played you on FTP a few times and think you play well, my analysis would be:

- when you lose big pots you often have strong hand
- in the long run, in those situations, do you lose more than you win ? ie are you just having a bad short term fluctuation, or not ? I would guess not
- you are therefore overvaluing your big, but not nuts, hands, given the action you are getting

Suggested solution:

- as you probably already do, put your opponent on a range of hands given the action you are getting, BUT assign greater probability than you do at present to the hands that beat you (depending, of course, on your assessment of your opponent's playing style)
- this should result in more folds
- contrary to conventional wisdon, you might find this easier to do at higher levels, because your opponents are less likely to be donks

Another approach:

- play in such a way as to trade off variance with expected profit
- not the way to make most money long term, but if your bankroll is under pressure, you might prefer it

Lastly, don't give up hope !

Agree about the 9T hand, but the other two seem fine?
