I dislike it. He's 26/21 so he's 3betting his big pairs preflop right? Is he ever calling off this much money with A9? nope. I just don't think there are any worse hands in his range that he plays this strong - what worse hands can you expect to get called by when you c/r the turn? It was a very dry flop, so he can accurately put you on atleast an overpair when you call his big flop raise. U got hosed!

I know it's horrid, I need everyone here to flame me and tell me how much I suck.

Since I started playing cash seriously this week Im down 4 buyins in 5k hands, down overall with AA, and down overall with KK.

I am not one to complain about running poorly but I am just seriously starting to worry that I may just be a donator right now. Would posting stats after 5k hands be bad??

With only a 23 buyin bankroll right now I think I am going to move down to NL50 and learn to play better though.

yeah, stacking off here seems bad, given the flop. but what were you doing here anyways? if youre hoping for a safe turn, that didnt change anything. its fold/shove on the flop for me.

Sounds like you're feeling pretty stressed. Do yourself a favor and drop down for a bit and find a coach or winning player (CR too if you haven't done that yet) to help you make the transition to cash. GL!

How do I go about finding a coach?? And a CR?? I don't even know what that is.

Thanks for the kind words, am stressed right now definitely after dropping another 2.5 buyins in 500 hands but at least I understand that this would be a horrible time to play so I am certainly done for the night.

theres a thread in MSNL with a coaching directory. CR is short for cardrunners.com, they offer coaching vids for a fee.

[cbboy]

CR = cardrunners. Its a site that has instructional videos that was created by muddywater and Taylor Caby.

There are plenty of qualified coaches on here that would definately be able to help you. I'm sure that you could look around and fine some easily or they could send you a PM or something...

CR = cardrunners.com

if you are looking for a coach, you could just post your situation in the cheese thread and ask for coaches to PM you.

edit: lol I'm too late.

Shoving this flop would be about 5 million times worse than the way the OP played it.
