This game is too sick, I seriously cant play it anymore cause Im on tilt within the first hour of play.

I take a break, spend like 6 hours on serious reflection in regards to tilt discipline, played incredible yesterday AND today.

In 280 hands I get this Sh*t

These were the worst of the hands. I also had 2 flush over flushes and 3 times build a big pot against a flush draw to be rivered.

So gd tired of losing and building enormous pots as the favorite to be rivered time and time again.

I called the river bet because he called 3 cold PF and didnt raise the flop, not likely he had the flush.

Played a session tonight. 700 hands, wtsd 41.7% wasd 40.8%

Was playing one table 3-handed with a 41/5/0.5 on my right and a lagtag on my left and I didn't win a single pot vs the lag-tag. I'd flop a set, he rivers a gutshot, I hit the flop and reverse dominate him, he gets runner-runner straight, I have him dominated, he hits the 3-outer on the turn.

I guess this nice little heater (my first one in a looong while at LHE ) had to end sometime.

So are the games at 3/6 and 5/10 not beatable without great table selection?

Table selection is always important, 3/6 and 5-10 should be beatable, im just not good enough to beat them.

Half this board seems to play 5/10 Stars though so that doesn't sound like a great game. I know there have been times when I look at even the 2/4 games on Stars and can't find one worth sitting in. A year ago it would have been the complete opposite. The game has changed. You need to have great discipline to win past 2/4 I believe. That means:

1) No tilt.
2) Good game selection.
3) Good seat selection.
4) Good time of day selection.
5) A lot of careful study.

It's either that or play live or switch to NL.

Very very very beatable. Just very very very swingy. The idiots are aggressively so. You just need their draws to miss as often as they should...

Edit: to elaborate, any table with over 40% saw flop in the lobby, you are likely to find at least two players making significant, obvious, errors as a matter of routine.

Or not. Talk about depressing. Never ever ever do anything to get yourself sent to max security prison (and WTF with sending DUI felons to the same place as actual murderers and rapists???)
