Am I a donkey or is this just bad luck / runing bad? NL50c FR

[Yenool]

So I am playing Party poker.... Just moved up to NL50c after 12k winning hands at NL25c... Playing about 14/7 across 5 tables....

days later, and I have lost $258 so far at party.....

So are these hands bad play or bad luck?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?930431 < Hand one

http://www.pokerhand.org/?930433 < Hand two

http://www.pokerhand.org/?930434 < Hand three

http://www.pokerhand.org/?930435 < Hand four

http://www.pokerhand.org/?930436 < Hand Five

Any comments I would be really really greatfull.

$258 dollars gone in about 645 hands.....

k, so I moved to pacific.... 223 hands later and I am $85 bucks down at NL50c

http://www.pokerhand.org/?933346 Hand one... no read on guy as of yet, but I am putting him on a smaller poket pair trying to get a cheap showdown... I call on the flop... then get bored with slow playing on the turn, I push expecting a call from TT-KK...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?933347 Hand two... guy is loose ish, 24%, raises about 8%... I put him on some kind of flush draw OR a smaller PP like 88, TT... I decided to call him down.. bad play or bad luck?


http://www.pokerhand.org/?933350 Hand three..... Ok, so I decide to call and see a flop, hoping to dodge the ace then get the chips in... I'm not thrilled that 2 people behind me called, but I figure the flop looks pretty harmless, only scary card is the T. .... thoughts please?


I have to say I am thisssss close to cashing out my bankroll and giving up for good. Every time I try and play a level above play money (IE: 5c/10c or 25c) I get screwed over. Aces 4 times in 223 hands and kings too... and I still spew off 85 bucks.

Hand 1.. raise the turn most of the time.. why are u paying off the river? All you have is a bluff catcher.

Hand 2.. eh it happens

Hand 3.. cold calling a 3 bet then stacking off on the flop is generally not a good idea. He made quite a large 3 bet, what are u getting value out of by shoving the flop.. JJ?

Hand 4.. it happens

Hand 5.. usually when they spring to life on the river like this it's a slowplayed monster.. I'm not really thinking you can lay your hand down though unless you have a very good read.


I'm not looking at the rest.. but 2 you could have played better.. 2 were just beats.. and the other eh.. I dunno about that one.

Hand 1 & 2 & 4 & 5 fine.
Hand 3 - don't push that flop. You limp UTG????, then there's a raise, two callers and a big reraise from BB. Perhaps even don't call pre, depends on villain. Really, this is the only hand you lost a lot on and it's bad.

On hand 1 with the set of 2's, you could fold the river and/or bet more on the turn. It looks like he's drawing and going to call whatever so make him pay. I don't think you underbet though and I think I might fold the river.

On hand 5 where there was 2 7's on the flop, you gotta wonder why he's calling your bets and suspect a 7 although I don't think I'd fold this.
