How to stop the bleeding
I'm on the worst losing streak of my short poker life. Down $75 over about 1,500 hands -- I know that's not a lot of hands or a lot of money to some people, but for my roll it is. I'm playing what I thought was TAG poker, with my numbers reading 20/14/1.5 over that stretch (I have freaking mac poker tracker, so sorry, no graph).
What immediate steps should I take to turn this around? I'm tilting hard right now, so I'm going to take a few days off before I play again. When i start playing again, though, I'm not sure if I should loosen up. Playing TAG at NL10 is killing me. I wait and wait for a decent hand, raise and get folds because everyone knows I'm only playing solid starting hands. If I get a call and miss the flop, I'll 85% of the time c-bet, get a call or a raise and be forced to fold later. It just whittles away my buy-ins. IF I do hit, I'll have hands like these where clearly I'm underbetting, but I'm freaked out about scaring villain away and not extracting the most I can: Full Tilt Poker, $0.05/$0.10 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players LegoPoker Hand History Converter Hero (CO): $10.15 BTN: $5.10 SB: $12.75 BB: $12.30 UTG: $6.80 Pre-Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (CO) UTG folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $0.40</font>, BTN folds, SB calls $0.35, BB calls $0.30 Flop: ($1.20) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 Players) SB checks, <font color="red">BB bets $1.20</font>, Hero calls $1.20 Turn: ($3.60) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players) <font color="red">BB bets $3.60</font>, Hero calls $3.60 River: ($10.80) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players) <font color="red">BB bets $7.10 and is All-In</font>, Hero folds Full Tilt Poker, $0.05/$0.10 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players LegoPoker Hand History Converter Hero (MP): $11.20 CO: $14.80 BTN: $5.25 SB: $9.45 BB: $4.65 UTG: $5.70 Pre-Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (MP) UTG calls $0.10, <font color="red">Hero raises to $0.50</font>, 2 folds, SB calls $0.45, 2 folds Flop: ($1.20) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players) <font color="red">SB bets $0.30</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $0.90</font>, SB calls $0.60 Turn: ($3) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players) SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $1</font>, SB calls $1 River: ($5) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players) <font color="red">SB bets $2.20</font>, Hero calls $2.20 |
