Re: P-Stars NL .01/.02 - First deposit of $25 gone in 2 days... help?
If you lost $25 in two days at NL2, I can tell you straight off that your main problem is that you are playing WAY too many hands. Until you can win a little more consistently, make the following the only hands you will play:
EP (Positions 1-4): TT+, AT+, KQ, KJs, QJs
MP (Positions 5-7): Add 88/99, KJo, QJo, KT, JTs, T9s - Only if the pot is unraised for the non-pairs
LP (Positions 8-10): Add 22+ and suited connectors down to 76 - Only if the pot is unraised
If you miss the flop with any non-pair (meaning if you don't at least have a flush or straight draw or have paired the board), be ready to dump the hand. If you have a mid- to low-PP (77 and down), be ready to dump the hand if you did not get a set.
Unless you have a big hand (TPTK can qualify, but only if there are no draws), be very careful if you're running into aggression.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, read some books. Theory of Poker should, IMO, be the first book purchased by anyone looking to improve their poker game.
You made the right call to come here and ask questions. While these forums can sometimes get a little feisty, many here are happy to try and help out aspiring players. And we were all where you are once.
