    Default Worst day ever - does anyone want to help me?

    So yesterday was my worst day ever - 5 and a half buyins lost at 6max 50nl and 100nl. I made some dubious decisions but felt for the most part I was playing fine.

    But, talking to Pelion, it's clear I am not thinking nearly deeply enough about my game - I have some first-level low-stakes mindset where aggression is a blunt object coupled with an appalling weaktight attitude to getting raised.

    So, I think I need to talk to someone who will look at a session or two, maybe a couple of hundred hands, and give me feedback on how I played. I have a horrible feeling I have become literally blinded to proper tactical play, an over-reliance on gametime+, and I build big pots with shit hands and then wonder where my stack is going.

    Anyone?

    What site do you play on? I might be interested in sweating you a bit after Christmas.

    I'm sure I'm not solid enough to have everything I say taken as gold but I'm a very long term 4ptbb/100 winner at 100NL. Unless you play on Stars or FT, I honestly believe the games are that much different on those sites vs the others.

    Yes, I play on Full Tilt right now. (but thanks - I wonder if I should move, again - I have rb at ongame so maybe, but i'm not wild about 5max)

    Ongame's all I play so I could be a big help there I'd think. If you can't find anyone to help you at FT just let me know in a couple days or so if you to try it at Ongame.

    Who are you on there anyway?

    Ongame? I have literally only played maybe 800 hands since signing up - my username is EdgrAllnPWND.

    I had been playing 50NL for 2 weeks at Everest and when I moved to FT earlier this month I too had a bit of a downswing (all high pp's got cracked etc.) and played break even thanks to the bonus. But once you make some adjustments FT is very doable at 50NL (I'm almost rolled for 100NL now).

    some adjustments I made:

    - table selection; switch tables more often, look for shorty's and very loose players. If they're not there or left, also leave.
    - also practice assigning ranges to villains. I think this has helped me a lot and this is the most important thing. It helps to figure out wether his bets are legit or not.
