Default Re: I can\'t figure it out...PLEASE HELP

The problem here is that your results are there. However small, you have begun your poker career as a winning player. You've spent $660 (I'm assuming it's $2.20 to play a $2 STT) and have $666 returned - so even ignoring the very small return you are beating the rake. So it's not all bad. Most players even in these small games cannot beat the rake. No one can tell you what you are doing wrong from what you have written - are you playing too many hands early on, are you staying in pots when you know you shouldn't be, are you consistently getting knocked out on the bubble, are you overvaluing donkey-aces? The great thing about this game is that it is very easy to work out what is going wrong - play 10 games and keep a note of all the big pots you play and then repost.

Additionally, read up on the stickies in the STT forums.

As for you bad beat count - you are saying that about 20%-25% of the time you are eliminated on bad beats? Without further information that sounds pretty standard. Remember even if you were dealt AA every hand and always faced an allin before you make your move. you will lose nearly 20% of the time.
