This is my first post so please forgive any errors.

I have played around 7000 hands at this level and have spent a lot of time reading and rereading material. I have been up about 150BB at one point but now I am struggling to break even. I don't know if it is because I am missing bets, just playing badly, or something else. I will post others and any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Raise the flop.

What the hell is up with that stop n go action on the turn/river?? If you think you're good cap the turn. If not, check/call the river.


Also, don't post results with your hand.

No need to slowplay this hand against the large field. You will get callers on the flop if you bet out, I'd say 99% of the time. If someone raises you on the flop, I might try a c/r on turn depending on who raised. Just play this straight forward and bet it on the flop.

Cap the turn.
