i dont know whats going on but i've dropped 10 buyins in like the past 3 days.

here are some of the tougher hands, all at $200NL.

hand 1: a couple limpers and i complete ATs in the SB. flop T43 w/ a FD. i bet, one limper calls..he started the hand with $100. he's loose, fairly passive. turn T. i bet, he overbet-shoves for $90 into a $30 pot.

hand 2: i raise AA UTG. shorty calls in CO. winning TAG regular 3-bets 5x from the blinds. i call. shorty calls all in. flop KQx. TAG checks to me.....how to proceed?

hand 3: 29/26 player opens UTG+1. i 3-bet TT from the CO. he calls. he's very aggro postflop and likes to make plays. flop 844 w/ a FD. $200 effective stacks to start the hand. how do i proceed?

hand 4: family pot. i check K9s in the BB. flop J87 w/ my FD. i bet out, one LP limper calls. he's like 35/14 and stupid. $250 effective stacks to start the hand. turn 6 bringing my flush. i bet out, he raises 3x. i.......shove?

thanks guys.

hand 1: I can't get away from this. I see loose-passive'ish act up and overplay a ten like this often enough to make a call profitable imo.

hand 2: I'd bet.

hand 3: depends on image and just exactly what you think of this guy - this isn't a great flop for him to make a play on - have you been playing reasonably tight? 3betting him alot? I prefer a bet here vs most players.

hand 4: looks good.

fwiw your downswing is STANDARD. 10 buyins is certainly a good time to start looking a little deeper into what may be wrong, but by no means is it a big deal. I had a 17 buyin downswing at 200 this month and made it all back in less than 2 days. Things turn around fast when you start playing good poker [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

10 buy ins is not bad at all trust me.

hand 1 i snapcall
hand 2 i probably shove
hand 3 id probably bet around 2/3 pot
hand 4 shove

1. have to get it in with your kicker and 50bbs. To easy for him to think worse tx is the nuts. also i raise it pre.

2. check. also 4 bet pre if you can make it look like you only want all in with the shorty.

3. Just call preflop when in position if you aren't sure how big of a pot you want to play with this hand.

4. 2nd nuts, yeah get it in is fine.

[censored] guys- sorry. im SB in hand 3 w/ TT.

as far as image...he's been pushing me around a bit but nothing terribly severe.

w/ the AT hand...i kinda hate raising into BB + 2 limpers.

you can still just call the tt oop. Don't have to go crazy and overvalue med strength hands just cause someone else likes to spew.

limpers usually =fish who play passively with a huge preflop range. You are isolating them and pushing a preflop edge.
