really, I read it and I get depressed, so many people making sick monies.

I can see completing most of my SBs when there are a lot in the pot, but what about to raises with garbage in the SB to always call anything just because 7 are in on the hand? I can also see opening up on the button but what about bets saved here and there? Are they not valuable?

[car ramrod]

I would rather get involved in hands where I was on the button or in lp, not in the sb. And I am not calling with garbage, but pp's and suited connectors.

[Frond]

Yea, the SB can=disaster when you start calling with garbage hands, esp. raises.

Can't wait to post in the Brag forum when I finally do get smacked. It is not far off. I can smell it!

Accept small wins. In other words if you are up after an hour finish for that session rather than carrying on for another 2 hours.

Do this until you confidence in your game comes back.

It makes no statistical sense but it helps IMO HUGELY pschologically wise when on a bad run and it gives you confidence back in your game.

I feel your pain man!
I would suggest moving up to where they respect your raises. J/K
When you are playing low limit poker this will happen so you just have to accept it. Sometimes you don't get good cards or your good cards preflop don't connect with the flop. If every hand is going to showdown sometimes three or four ways and moves like checkraising, semibluffing etc... can't work againt loose/passive calling stations you just have to be patient.
When this is happening to me I like to get up and take a round off or maybe change seats or tables if that will make you feel better.
My last 4/8 session went this way. I was in a great game and I was super patient but every time I had a good hand I ran into a better hand or got chased down. After burning through almost three racks after 8 hours I just decided to leave to avoid tilting away more

I used to think this, but its even more painful when you don't get paid off everytime to have the nuts. Believe me!!

Ride it out, look for leaks and it will pass.

Swings are constant and its simply a case of having to get used to them

[PorkchopDJG]

I was just kidding about the moving up that's what the J/K meant.
Also play more mid suited connectors and one gappers as well as any pocket pair in multiway pots. Don't open with these but if there is an open limper in a loose/passive game play these every time. You win big pots in these types of games with straights,flushes and boats.
