Help! I can't even beat the low limits anymore!

I'm now down from 2/4$ to 0.5/0.10$ and I can't even win here! I started last week and went from 50 to 600 bucks and now im back to 15! And i honestly didnt change my style.

I'm still playing my position with KJ+. Havent changed ANYTHING. still i do not get up a bit. Always when i just was able to get a medsize pot I end up getting beaten with the usually most successfull hands!


I'm playing on PokerStars and somehow i can't beat anything. My hands I lost most with atm are AA/KK, and it seems people get me beat all time!

Just look at this!

Another problem is that people seem just to be too good at this level as i cant get them into the pot when i got the nuts.

I'm so unbelieveable frustrated and my downswing seems to never end here. I also do not think I'm doing any big mistakes, as those situations with KK and AA just happen all the time to me.

1) Bad beat. I'd move this to the bad beat forum but you're looking for help/advice.

2) I wish I could play in games where people call 7x's bb raises with J5o.

3) Bet the flop please.

4) Looking at this hand makes me think you should seriously reevaluate your play.

You deserve to lose these pots if you do not c-bet at this level. Why do you decide not the bet the flop?

Except c-luvin would've had J5 there except a 2 would hit on the river making the board J5622.

You need about $10,000 to be sitting at $2/$4 NL.

lol.. this is what I was thinking.

$600 bankroll at 2/4?? ... I guess, if you like playing with 66% of your bankroll at one table.

100%, he said he got it up to $600, I'm assuming at the same table.

Go to the begginner circle and read the stickies and the begginners guide. Make sure you read the newbie circle of death
