Default Re: Starting Over - I need some advice

Were you playing 1/2 and 2/4 6-max on Absolute? Because those games are awful relative to those at Party and Poker Stars.

Also, you're weak-tight. You're not playing enough hands, and your postflop advice is consistently too conservative.

So, my recommendation is to move down to, say, .25/.50 6-max on Stars and play a little looser and more aggressively. If you have a reasonable hand and the pot is heads-up, make sure you're getting to showdown a lot. Stop seeing monsters under the bed and continue getting bets in the pot when you have strong hands. Keep reading hand posts both here and in Mid-High short handed.

Good luck.

Edit, I just read Stellar's post and it is better than mine. While you will eventually need to loosen up, your postflop leaks need immediate addressing.

Out of curiosity, what is your Went to Showdown % in poker tracker?
