From strong stack to dead..... can anyone see my flaws?

    Default From strong stack to dead..... can anyone see my flaws?

    I have been having a terrible streak of not making it into the money lately. I'll get to the final 4 or 5 with a decent stack, then I'll lose the whole thing on what I see as bad luck. But I know not everytime can be bad luck, right? Can someone please point out anything they think I'm doing terribly wrong that is costing me the game like this?

    I'm going to post the entire hand history from when it went down to 5 players, so there will be many hands that I fold. But I want everything shown incase there are missed oppourtunities.

    Wastin' away again in margaritaville....
    Couple ideas...

    Watch the steals vs small stacks, they will call with anything.
    Calling half your stack with 66 is usually not good for your ROI.
    Get more aggressive, when folded to you in the CO or button, RAISE.

    -sed


    No fear, go deep or go home!

    What I've found is that when it gets down to four or five plrs, position is the most important thing. I stop playing anything but AQ and better from out of position.

    Hand #2321217032 is a leak IMO as is #2321221160.

    Hand #2321234091 is more or less a consequence of the two previous hands. Now you need chips to get in the money and are forced to play a coin flip.

    When the blinds get to be 1/5 of the average stack, you need to forget about playing hands from out of position and concentrate of attacking blinds.

    I did notice that you were often faced with all-ins when you DID have position, which sucks. But if you had stayed out of the two OOP hands, you could have easily made it IMO.
