I was commenting about poker with a friend and some comment Xaston made a few months ago. He suggested that I had to study and try harder to be in the top 5% of the players, so I can sit in a comfortable stakes and make steady money. I thought about it but i dont think I have what it takes for some reason.

I now believe in luck and i dont think I am lucky enough neither. After i moved up to 50NL again I am down 8buy ins. I was checking yesterday's session and I lost a lot more than 300 in huge pots where i was either massively ahead or had a very strong hand vs. another stronger hand. This is a trend.

I will sign up to cardrunners. I will post a few more hands in the strategy forums but i am not holding my breath. What i will do is stay at 25Nl where i beat the games steadily.

Tribute to you

After implementing a new style, basically being more aggressive ad a little looser, I am losing my ass off. I stopped the shortstacking because i was bored and according to POker EV software I was only getting 3.2ptbb/100 in ipoker's 20NL. That is not enough money for me and i doubt it would give me more than my 2ish [ptbb/100
in higher games because i was being called by a lot of wiorse hands and the EV was still that low. . Anyways, I am running like shit. My new stats in 6K hands are 22/14/2.5. I have noticed I am getting a lot of blinds and sometimes they are playing back with junk, but i just cant catch anything to play big pots. In this 6K hands, I hvent taken a full stack from anyone with a set, and have hit very few. I am tilting like 24/7 or some reason. I feel frustrated and way too impatient. The big pots I have lost are just stupid. I am running at -5ptbb/100 in the past 6.5K hands. I should be losing a lot less.

This is the biggest pot I've lost in these days:

Those are the only hads where i've taken full buy ins. The next biggest was for 70BBs.

I am playing like shit. I am a 24/7tilter now. WTF!?

The bankroll is dangerously small @ about 900ish after my last 1200USD cashout.

Last 1.5K hands running 16/11/2, w$wsf 37%,wtsd 24%, w$sd 45%. I am not trying to play tighter, it s just no cards at all.

why are you trying to push the donks around? the best winrate at .25/.50 that i have seen so far is a guy that plays like 20/5. Just peddle the nuts, sir. Seriously. Try playing like 20/5 for a while and dont CB against calling stations and dont push your draws and dont do fancy play syndrome. Spend your time counting your money. Oh and dont play for stacks with one pair hands. Christ on a stick its 20nl.
