hey guys i got a [censored] massive problem...
I know i´m better than most of the 100nl regs at ftp and i can win at 200nl too but i just seem to do crazy random [censored] moves that are complete suicide...
like instacall or raises when i know for sure that i should be folding... i´m sure i could win easily at like 6ptbb/100 but these duck ups make me a break even player atm...
and the worst thing is it used to be different! I was beating the game at a good rate a short itme ago...

Please all the experienced guys like thac and gelford please help me out!!!

Hehe ... I dropped down to experiment and calibrate my game ... sustainable ?

The thing about poker is some people win and some people lose and then there is rake so more people lose than win. Some people have to realise they're never going to beat the game. I'm not, i'm taking up bonus whoring. lzzo

I thought my 37/35/3 experiment was loose, but I had trouble playing 3 tables and raising all the time, so I sometimes folded on the button, contrary to my strategy. How many tables was this?

I know that my hatred of shortstackers is a huge leak, but hands like this make it all worth it.

I think your raise preflop is stupid here. This guy posts UTG (he's bad), he's buying in 2.90 dollars. What does that mean? Probably his last dollars. So expect a lot of gambling. I.e. no folding. So any pair will have you beat.

I think automatically raising pocket pairs without looking at stack sizes is a leak.

That's the point. The stack size is the reason I did it. The satisfaction I get from busting those guys is what I'm after.

You really need to take a look at this statement and try to figure out why its bad. You HAVE to take your ego out of your play. I hate shortstackers as well but I am not going aggrotard on them to bust them. its -ev. You do this alot and you will lose money which is a leak plain and simple. Isnt your goal to make decisions that will make you money in the long run??
