i play a weekly tournament home game that typically attracts 9 - 10 players. For the past year i have dominated this game (lots of fish) placing in the top three virtually everytime and winning about 1/3 of the time. However, recently i havent been able to make a cent in this game. My confidence has not been affected, i still go to the tournament every week expecting to win. I am positive that my poker knowledge is far more vast than that of my opponents. I have been told my multiple players that they are unable to get a read on my play, but i typically have little trouble reading them. After a month or two i firmly established the table image of a super aggressive player. Now a days however, i have begun playing tighter, yet the idiots i play with fail to notice this. On average i would say i make 90% of the correct calls and laydowns and i always use my position to my advantage. I know i am better than these players and that im playing at my best... i just cant seem to win anything. Should i change my strategy or outlook on the game or just keep trying to play my game. I understand sample space and that i cant expect for the best decisiones to win every hand... but this problem seems to go deeper than the math. i need suggestions. Six months of domination... three months of busting out.
