Just some thoughts from reading the hands, you are not playing well enough postflop to backup your preflop agression imo.
In order for you to keep playing this "loose" agressive preflop I think you gotta play more agressive postflop.
Play your hands more straightforward, It looks like you tend to slowplay postflop a little to much.

"I'll probably sign up for cardrunners asap"

Yes it's well worth it, you won't regret it.

Sorry, im not commenting on the first 8. However, I will on these.

9: check flop, Fold turn.

10: More on flop, (18-20), send the second shell on the turn, or c/shove. LOL @ this hand.\

11: this spot sucks, U cant fold, cant raise. So call.

12: shove river?

13: meh, fine.

-6 buyins is a quite normal downswing in less than 1k hands.

blackize · #25 01-21-2007, 10:32 PM

Hand 9 I'm not too sure about

Hand 10 Shove the turn. Definitely looks like you let him draw to his flush or straight cheap but I can't fold the river as played

Hand 11 Looks like another cheap draw attempt. Your raise is too small. I'd raise to ~50 and call the river.

Hand 12 Looks fine, I'd shove the river

Hand 13 Looks fine

It might not be your style, but maybe you should consider tightening up preflop some. If you feel you aren't a great player yet and maybe don't have really good hand reading skills, then playing 27/20 is just putting yourself into so many marginal situations that you could avoid by tightening up a few notches. Try out playing maybe a 19/16 style and see how much easier it is.

Also sign up for cardrunners ASAP and start by watching the Green Plastic library. Tons of good stuff there, even though most of his videos are at higher limits. Cardrunners is worth like 20x more than the monthly subscription cost.
