Re: 40 Buy-in NL Table: Even worth playing?
 

Dude, chill.

I recently broke even for 45,000 hands online. Most regulars around here (except the ones who have luckboxes) have had similar break-even streaks.

The play is softer live, but you can run bad/break-even for a year in a B&M casino even as a full time player.

That's just the way it is.

Read this forum, think about the posts, eventually post some hands if you want. But you can't really expect a detailed analysis of your game from us, at this point.

Hand #3 is awful, you're calling off 1/8th of your stack with a hand that you will never feel comfortable with (think about the likely flops - even a A73r flop is scary, the only flop you like contains an ace and a 2, or a bunch of 2's, and that will not happen often). At that table I would probably play any 2 cards T or higher, 9Ts, 88+ and thats it, unless I had ridiculous odds preflop (in terms of limpers) and then I would call with suited connecters and 1 gappers to flop a strong combo draw that I can get it in with, and occasionally Axs when there are lots of limpers.

Totally agree, I had no business calling with A-2. I pretty much realized it as soon as I did it.

buy in full and learn to pay 100bb+ poker instead of 40bb and then they wont "have pot odds to out draw out on you"

also a couple of session's is not a lot of play
