Yeah I've tried. I went from whatever is normal to me to aggro to passive. I also started open limping a ton against really passive players. None of it worked and 2 10BI~ downswings later I'm running 2.5x worse over my past 45k hands than I was over the 45k before that.

I need to try to get to showdown more, but I just end up playing so horribly OOP. One thing I need to do is try to win more pots postflop, but at the same time betting out so much just ends up getting me floated. I play against people who is sick sick calling stations, and its not even like they are doing it on purpose, just because they are so bad. So I'll end up cbetting the flop, seeing a great turn and betting again, only to see them call with their gutshot and donk 1/6th pot on the river. Maybe it isn't such a bad strategy because they are getting such tremendous odds on their small bets for when I fold.

Should I make a video and post it? I bought some headphones the other day but I don't really want to release a video to everyone, would there be a few people on here that I know who would be interested in watching it and helping me. Should I get coaching? Start coaching? I don't know.

LOL

Not to be a dick, but maybe you're running worse over your last 45K than the 45K before bec you were winning $5/hand the 45K before?

If you think mixing up styles involves open limping preflop and betting more in spots, I don't know what to say to you.

I was just giving examples of different things I've tried lately.

[TheWorstPlayer]

Have you tried just THINKING about how they play and what the correct strategy would be to exploit their poor play? WHY is their play poor? What's WRONG with it?

[Sponger.]

Yeah I need to start getting to that. I've been too busy doing drugs lately to focus on my play. Thankfully I've hired my roommate to run errands, get food, and keep me on a schedule of playing this week.

Hey what is everyone doing for the WSOP? I'm thinking of coming out at either the beginning or end of the series. I might go surfing in Mexico from the 24th of May till the 4th of June though.

Also my passport comes in the mail today! WOOOOOO April 20th - May 4th I'll be in Nicaragua. A week and a half of no poker and just bodyboarding, here are some pictures of Nicaragua that were taken yesterday.
