Hey guys,
Don't post in HUSH very much, but I am having some issues.
I play a little bit of everything online. Sometimes I 6 table 2/4 or 3/6 full, sometimes I 8 table SNG's, sometimes I play 3/6 SH. I'm a winner in all three types, at a somewhat normal win rate(1.5-2.5BB/100 or 15-20%ROI).
I cashed out 2K the other night to cover some expenses. And decided I'd work my way back upto 3/6SH playing 1/2 SH. I've had issues in this game before, but decided that if I could beat 3/6...I can obviously beat the lower game.
Well. Maybe not. After my first couple of thousand hands at 1/2 6M, I feel so lost. Here are some of the problems I seem to be having.
1. Any continuation bets I make, seem to be completely useless. At 3/6 if I missed a flop I raised, 90% of the time I'd pop a continuation bet out there(think missed AK). If they completely missed the board, they'd fold. In 1/2..they stay in with any two cards. Doesn't matter what. Then if I miss the turn....???
2. I'm also having alot of trouble playing mid pairs. In LP's, I raise these just like most SH players do. But once again, because players don't seem to fold cards over a 9, until the river, it seems I am almost always drawing to two outs. I find it very difficult to put players on hands, because I just don't understand their mindset...ya know...other than they really suck.
I don't really think the problems lies in my hand selection. I'm your typical 25/17. I guess I could be running a little bad, but nothing significant.
Those of you who I've seen post that this game is extremely beatable, what adjustments to your game must be made?
