5-10 cent PL OHL on Full Tilt
 
I really enjoy this game, but I'm clearly a supplier. I wait for premium (scoop) pots, then either get bad or partially bad flops and have to fold to big bets. I know I'm being pushed around, but in PL it's hard to invest a lot on draws, isn't it? Or should I go with the draws and keep my fingers crossed. Seems when I do I lose, but when I go with "made" hands (sets, str8s, etc.) I get sucked out on. The one thing I've noticed is the same few players seem to win every time and the chumps like me keep feeding them. What are they doing that I'm not? Please help.

Hard to say without seeing any specific hands. Perhaps go play a few sessions and save the hand histories of anything you find interesting and post them all here.

89,870 and counting

the rake in that game makes it not worth playing. step up to $25 or switch to stars.

I get 27 percent rakeback, which allows me to get most of my money back and keep playing. I win the rest back playing SNGs, but would really like to learn this game.

step up and learn at the $25 level. the play isnt really much better. rake destroys split pot games in ways that non split games can only begin to dream of. its so bad that you have to take it into account when you think of how large an edge you have because if you get all $10 in and you split you lose like $1.50 or something (i think, 10% up to $3 right?). suddenly your 55/45 doesn't look so pretty does it?

I think this is what you need to look at. If you find it hard to invest a lot on draws, you are playing the wrong game. You just need to know what kind of draws to put it all in with. If you have nut low and nut flush draw three ways on the flop, it should be pretty easy to push and pray. Made str8s are not very powerful if made on the flop - some examples are broadway which is susceptible to a set filling up or a 2-flushed broadway flop where someone else flopped broadway freerolling you for the flush, or a made 8 high straight where someone else can have a higher str8 or same str8 freerolling you with a low draw for 3/4s. If you are predictable with folding strong starting hands to whiffed flops, you may well be bluffed off these hands by the same observant players time and time again. Make a few adjustments and you should be okay... number one is don't be too predictable, number two don't be afraid to stack off when you flop sick draws (not str8 draws!).

i think you need a new nickname or you'll never be able to win.

ok, but seriously though i think you need COMPLETELY familiarize yourself with the math of the game. this is how i learned to play, and probably most others either.

when you lose a hand, run an odds simulator and check to see if it was: a) a crazy bad beat b) coinflip c) freeroll

chances are, if you see the same people winning time and again... they themselves are pretty experienced and familiar with the math of the game. it's possible to run bad and find marginal spots for very long periods, but getting it in with the best of it will never fail in the long run.

Thanks for the advice, guys. Seems whenever I play A23x the flop is three highs, then when I play four Broadways, flop almost always is low. Even when I flop a high set there are two low cards out and I'm heads-up and don't want to draw for half the pot. Are 9-10-J-Q or 4-6-7-8 kind of hands good in this game or should they be avoided? See people winning with them.

I also always assume when I'm against 3 or more opponents that somebody has A-2. What about hands like KK36. Fold them or see a flop?

Here's a typical hand for me. I get solid wheel cards and a medium pair, then the fop hits by wheel cards, not the pair, and I have no idea where I am in the hand and have to fold. Or should I be aggressive here?
