Default Re: Help me win my 60k back from 20 40

i dont understand why you want to play loose and (semi)fishy when it seems you were doing well as a 28/22? If you have lost 60k playing super aggro, then clearly it is not working. you opened utg w/ q4s and capped? the 3bet in hand 2 on the turn looks pretty horrible. man, go back to stox!

Yea I know. I used to be more solid about (28/22) back when Stoxtrader coached me and I played ton 30 60 and higher and won and played good. The [censored] happened in personal life, I got kocky and decided I dont need to listen the idiot anymore. So I began just playing very loose.

Here is about my preflop openings(the hand named is in the range) now how bad does it look:
UTG A6-AKo A2s+, KTo+ K8s+ T9o+ 87s+ and then QJ,QT,JT,J9
MP All those + A2o and T8s, J8s, K7s
CO All those + 54s+, T8o+, K5s
BUTTON All those + all suited kings, queens down to Q4s and Jacks down to J6s, all connectors down to 54o and some random stuff like T6s
SB All but like 72o and 83o+

These are when I'm playing "solid" when im tilting its button hands from every position.

My problem is that like I said I use very very good game selection.. well there is rarely bad games v early morning/late night at party. Anyway the normal lineup in my game is such a that there is no-one with VPIP under 30 and usually it ranges from 42 to 50 and one guy with like 32. So I guess I should adjust to that by playing tight.. however I see how bad they all play and just wanna punish them etc. Also their went to showdown is almost always like 41-50% and when I played higher I got used to people having went to showdown of 33-35 and that i could actually get them fold something.
So maybe I should play more against 2+2 players? It's unlikely that I would win, but I would lose slower and stay away from bustotown longer!

I had seen him semibluff raise flush draw couple times.

you'd have to be pretty confident he is on a draw. a big part of his range here has you smoked. it is inexcusable to put in 5 big bets on the big streets here.

The draw is basically the only hand you are ahead of besides a complete bluff, and his range is skewed to having an A or a K due to preflop action.

Nowdays I think that everyone is cheating me - I actually sent a email party when two 55/16 shodown 44/60 players kept beating me and told im 99% sure they cheat. I dont think I can beat anyone at any level nowdays. I actually played 3 6(thats nt 300 600) and thought they were all playing better then me. So in my mind I think whatever I need to play the lag style to hit the lucky run as it's my only chance to make money back. Or I think I need to change to that 60/10 as it's apparently workig because of the riged RNG.

dam. if you are playing the way you played in the above hands, you should lose. if the 28/22 was making you money, it makes no sense to switch styles (especially if you are switching to a big losing style). go back to stox, baby. or at least back to the solid game he taught youl.

this may very well be true, but two thoughts pop into my mind:

a)is your call button broken or something?

b) just because you saw someone semibluff one time doesn't mean you give them ridiculous action forevermore... you are doing exactly what they want which is give them waaaaay too much action the 90% of the time they are not bluffing.

I read the title and the first sentence or so. [censored] happens. Play more, play better, drop if necessary, that's all you can do.

If you had read more than that you would probably change your response [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would think this post is a joke, except that OP provided believable pictures of his bloody foot through a glass door.

Unless you learn or restore discipline you will be doomed. I recommend that you drop down to 3/6 or 5/10 and play about 23/15 for at least 50K hands and if and only if you can play well and discplined move up one limit at a time.
