Cross-posted from BBV:


I just moved from tourneys to 1-2 NL. I've played 7500 hands at basically breakeven. Yes, the kind of basically breakeven that is actually a little bit down (-$180).

It feels like I am losing way too frequently with sets. I mean, sure, we're deeper than in a tournament, so people fold overpairs more often and proportionally more often (compared to a tourney) when the money goes in it'll be set over set, or a big draw, rather than someone I have crushed. But it still feels like I'm losing way too often with sets.

7500 hands is nothing. I know this. I know I can't tell if I'm a winning player yet, etc. What I'd like to know is whether my sets are actually getting as hosed as they seem to be, within the small sample size.

Anyway:

In 7491 hands, I've been dealt 430 pocket pairs, flopped a set 44 times, lost a pot > $100 (50 BB) 8 times, won a pot greater than $100 7 times. Total I am +$518 on 44 sets, for an average of ~ $12 profit per set.

Overall, my pocket pairs JJ and lower are at -$448, or about - $1.30 per hand.

Please tell me this is abnormal
