    Default Just bad luck or am I doing something wrong?

    I am on the brunt of a pretty tough downswing right now. It seems as though I have a leak of some sort, but I can't really find it. I'll post a number of hand histories that have been my biggest losses recently, and I was wondering if any of you notice something in my game that needs improving. Open to ALL criticism!

    Freechus i think your game has improved a lot. I say there are a few things that hold true for most of those hands.

    1. Tighten up even more preflop. I know over time you probably have tightened up a lot. but don't tempt yourself on j9s or q9. fold that junk, your gonna lose money in the long run.

    2. Certain situations that seem like you should bet in are not. when you limp 77 and the flop comes 632 it's not always appropriate to bet, especially if there's 3+ people in the pot. The turn and river are so tricky. I recommend with hand 88 and below check/fold all flops without a set.

    3. Don't be blinded by your hand. A lot of those hands were easy folds. try to not even really care what you have and see the obvious hands your opps are repping.

    I think your really close to becoming a winning player. Keep reading the HH threads and try to learn.

    Well I don't see but a few hands (1 already discussed) with anything terribly wrong.
    You have paid off the chase monkeys a few too many times it appears. Here's my breakdown, as not a great player myself, but at least a second set of eyes looking at these with no results posted:

    Hand 1 - this one is tricky - no one would suspect the flop gutshot to river ... so if he was donk betting
    AJ the whole way you are probably just screwed...I could say to just call the minraise but you might be
    losing value in the long run...I would have reraised his minraise to $5 or so and then probably called his
    push so no change. Nothing wrong with playing J9s in this position - and you were priced into the flop
    gutshot call and definitely given odds on the turn.

    Hand 2 - check behind...every monkey loves to chase his flush, and Distroyer is a monkey in my notes...if you
    lost to the other guys flush but not distroyers, good push on the end but I am very wary of the $10 flush
    chasers - they are everywhere.

    Hand 3 - your turn bet is weak so the reraise doesn't tell you he has a straight, if that's what is going on...
    come closer to pot there and maybe get minraised into chasing your FH - nothing particularly wrong with the
    push as played - nh - bad luck...but you paid off a chaser here presumably...problem is that 40c on the flop
    even if it's pot-sized is nothing to these guys

    Hand 4 - one could argue that you are no longer getting odds on the turn ... but you can safely get out on
    the river, even though you aren't saving much...also - I don't call with 78h in MP with a raise to me...
    there is probably more than 1 flush chaser in the hand with a better flush draw than you have too, given
    all the callers on this one

    Hand 5 - this has been discussed in your other thread - don't chase here.

    Hand 6 - either he outflopped you (doubtful) or he outturned you - likely...tough call - you certainly still
    have outs assuming that he didn't call the flop with TT...I probably ditch it after his reraise - bluck

    Hand 7 - probably have to slow this one down - this is a great flop for typical 2 pair hands and the
    made straight as well...sucks being out of position but this is a spot where I hate to do it but I can
    ditch AA

    Hand 8 - guess he had a set turned FH - ditch the overpair on the turn reraise - reraise the flop if you feel so inclined,
    and think you are best or want to find out...no reason to bet the turn unimproved when the 3 is not a scare
    card to most hands...he's pricing you in on the river too - a bad sign from a thinking player

    Hand 9 - bet closer to pot on the flop - you don't want to see any more cards that don't fill you up -
    tough to not pay off on the end - this is a tricky hand - I hate these - most are probably losing money here,
    pretty rare to find a fold in a raised pot with only 1 caller (the pf raiser) - did he chase down with AT
    or JJ?

    Hand 10 - tough to fold this one due to his stack size - other than preflop which could be argued - his
    limp-call and reraise says 2 pair/set though.

    Hand 11 - I don't limp KJ in this position - flopping 2 pair on a straight board and you are reraised allin,
    I can find a fold here - Q9 outflop you?

    Hand 12 - river completes the draw - check/call small or check/fold

    Hand 13 - you raised preflop - bet the flop - set isn't going anywhere, nor is 2 pair, though it looks like
    someone got a free card to the boat...you're losing money here either way

    Hand 14 - perfect flop to lose with TPTK to a set - phooey - I hate going down with TPTK but against a
    shorstack you probably are

    Hand 15 - raise more preflop - like 80-90c ... if he beat you there's not a lot you can do about it here

    Hand 16 - ugh - good fold - could check-behind on the turn - see if you can tie the pot

    Hand 17 - tough one - fold preflop - might be able to fold the river

    Hand 18 - oh well - I have fallen for this dorky play before too against a shortstack

    Hand 19 - don't bet out on the flop - you just got yourself into trouble here with a good draw and the
    perfect river card to pay off the flush monkey
  5. #5
    Hand 1: Value bet dont push. You do not have the nuts and you will only be called when you are behind (in a small pot).

    Hand 2: I probably raise preflop here with AJ but the check is fine. Apart from that it was played fine until the river. Should really check behind on that river. He probably wont pay you with just a pair. The turn pot is fairly large so you could argue a push but getting calls is fine since the stacks are so small that getting sucked out on and calling the river push is still EV for you. One thing to note is that many players will call the turn push with just a flush draw at 10NL with those stack sizes compared to pot size. Watch out for those players and always push against them here.

    Too tired to look at the others now since its 4am here but ill probably take a look tomorrow.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    Hand1: you're ok until the river. Pushing loses you value from bad hands that would call a value bet but not a push. Raise to 5, ditch it to a push if you know the other guy is very solid, otherwise call if he pushes. you're still doing better in the long run because you're making more money from worse hands.

    Hand2: woah! the flush hit! and he checked the river to you! check behind!

    Hand3: perfect

    Hand4: first, river is an easy check/fold, why did you push? otherwise, yuck, i'm not so sure on this one, it seems like it was played correctly barring questionable calls preflop, but i still don't like it. i dunno, i'd need someone brighter than me to justify anything about this one.

    Hand5: hmm. this is the type of hand that is nice to push in a heads up situation, but with this many people there are all sorts of ways you're looking at losing. Fold to the guy who raised to 3.20.

    Hand6: What do you think he is pushing with? I will give you a hint: top pair is no good. AKA, fold.

    Hand7: with a dangerous board like this, check the turn to try to keep the pot under control, or check-raise the flop. If you check the turn and he pots it, i'm out.

    Hand8: I am fine playing this hand by raising the flop, or calling the flop and checking behind on the turn. Either way, as played i'm folding to the turn reraise.

    Hand9: bet bigger on the flop. river is tough....

    Hand10: if you know the pre-flop raiser is solid, i'd fold preflop. otherwise, i'm folding to that push. top pair is rarely good in situations like this.

    Hand11: fold preflop. fold to flop raise.

    Hand 12: check fold the river, you can call a really small bet though.

    Hand 13: yah you're going broke here. you can escape hands like this occassionally at higher limits, but you're screwed. I would consider betting the flop though, nobody will believe you have the flush.

    Hand14: yea, your hand isn't any good, but i'm ending up all-in against him anyway. tough, i feel like its a leak that i'd end up ai just cause he's a 50BB stack, but whateva.

    Hand15: played fine, you could probably raise even more preflop with all that trash calling.

    Hand16: check behind on the turn. any king has you pwned. much better to be checking behind and calling any reasonable river bet then getting jacked up like here.

    Hand 17: fold to the turn raise and or to the river push. raise or fold preflop.

    Hand 18: ugh, i hate short stacks. its pretty clear you're pwned bad, but i'm not sure for just 3.60 you can give it up.

    Hand 19: reraise strong preflop, then cont bet the flop only if you've isolated 1 or 2 people. i'm check folding on this flop with multiple others in it.
    i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch
