I need to retool my game

popesc · #1 05-17-2006, 03:32 PM

I recently have lost 25% of my bankroll in the course of a week. This is by far the worst hit that it has ever taken in the 2+ years I've been playing.

It can't be all variance, so I must conclude that I've gone from adequate to suckage.

I'm going to post every hand from a session, hopefully people will point out my suckage.

Ok, I'll stop at 9.

NakedNoggin · #7 05-17-2006, 04:09 PM

The only thing maybe that I would change...the 5 7 does not warrant a raise on the river...imo but that would only save you one bet.

Okay, I'll restate. It probably isn't all variance.

I might just call the river in hand 1, but would likely raise it like you did.

I fold A5o in the SB

I would fold when the SB bets into me HU in a very small pot with T high
