Down 14 buyins in 2800 hands at 50NL 6max. Bad cards or bad play?

Spaded · #1 06-07-2006, 04:38 AM

That big slide came after a healthy 2.6BB/100 over 11K hands last week at $50NL 6max. Ever since I cashed out $500 from party it has been a huge downslide.

Some PT stats:
Good Week: VPIP=23.2% PFR=9.3% Won Showdown=53.5% Agression=2.82
Bad Week: VPIP=22.0% PFR=9.0% Won Showdown=52.3% Agression=3.28

I think I might be making too many continuation bets or something. I like to raise hands like AJ from 2 off the button, sometimes hands like A3o on the button with no limpers, someone from late position usually calls my semi-decent hand like KJ and one of two things happen: I either bet on the turn and fold the river when they call with junk, or I check the flop and fold to the floater's bet. I usually fold to any raises, mostly because my hands are middle pair or TPGK and I am OOP.

So am I strong for betting on early streets, or weak from folding a $9 river bet? If I'm weak, how about this hand...

A bad river call, I guess. Should have folded on the flop after the minraise that is so common at these levels.
