wow, and i've put in a lot of hands at 25nl and 50nl...sorry dude, but that's bad, real bad

[/ QUOTE ]

leveling right?

[/ QUOTE ]

no leveling here. i am speaking the truth. not being able to win at 10nl, 25nl, and 50nl is terrible. and i've played lots of hands at that level, so i am saying that i have experienced it.

I agree, QFT

I agree that its terrible, but I would've thought with my game and the stats I've posted (which don't indicate any major leak imho), I should be winning at a decent clip. Incidently I've played the same amount of hands (ish) on Party over this period for 5-6ptbb/100, but refuse to believe Stars is that much more difficult at this level.

On the other hand, how many times can i suck @ a poker game before finally admitting its is me being bad > luck?

Even at $25nl the games on stars are much much harder than the games on party. I know 25nl still aint hard on stars, but running at 9ptbb > 4ptbb... Maybe stars is just rigged

I had a great 2006, and an ok start to the year... have had a similar run of ~ 25k hands break even now and I am really getting [cenored] off with it to be honest. That said getting [cenored] off with it probably isn't helping. Praise the lord for rakeback and bonus'. Is this amount of breakeven standard if you a "fairly" good player (Or is my monkey tilt spiraling out of control)?

This is clearly a terrble run. You have pretty solid numbers and should truly dominate those limits. Your wtsd is high and your w$sd is low which is a dreadful combo. Keep your chin up.

22/17 will crush 25nl unless you have gaping crevaces in your post flop play

Why else would you be playing 25nl?

Thanks for the positive comments. Re: post-flop play, I've run the SSNL PT check which didnt indicate any glaring errors playing PP's, suited connectors etc.

I do remember a quote from Aba on CR saying he was teaching a friend and said c-betting 100% flops @ ssnl was not a big mistake, so i do c-bet 95% of the time. Maybe this is the first area of improvement i'll look into.
