My good runs and stuff seem to be concentrating on $1/$2 and I am unable to win at $2/$4. After being down about $150 total for the day, I decided to make one more $150 investment and enter another $2/$4 table. I decided to play serious and as good as possible and thus, I wanted to prevent laggy preflop - I digged up the chart from someone at 2+2 (you all know what i'm talking about). So I started playing, I caught nice hands - here's the poker grader to my 60 hand session:
http://www.pokergrader.com/display.php?a=7984226&p=1

Now don't get it wrong, the sample size isn't THAT small. I've played nearly 10k hands at -2.34 BB/100. And it seems to be a contiguous trend. Furthermore this -2.34 BB/100 doesn't involve my 1k hands I played when I dropped 120 BB last weekend.

The funny thing is that I'm doing wicked good at $1/$2. 3.13 BB/100 over 20000 hands (yea a bit small samplesize as well).

Okay so here's the thing. I do not know for sure whether I'm ALWAYS running bad at $2/$4 or if I've just been hella lucky at $1/$2 for the few days but this is getting out of hand. A brink of hope would be more than a concellation to what is going through here. I'm not desperate because I'm having a downswing and losing - I'm desperate because the "downswing" seems to be exclusively at $2/$4.

So I decided to request some coaching - there has to be something for me to do to improve my game. As for BR management, I've been following a system similar to: Play to 300 BB, if I fall under 200 BB I move down and it seems I'm faced with another downgrade.

So is anyone good (preferably someone beating at least 5/10 at a consistent rate) interested in coaching? Furthermore I don't know how this thing usually works, but I assume it's no charity work so the prices must also be discussed.

I'm a bit desperate (maybe). Oh and if someone wants to make fun of me, here's a link to my last 60 hands that destroyed another $150 from me (the one I used in pokergrader):

Okay since nobody read my long post, here's a short version:

Who wants to coach me or knows someone who could? How would it work? How much would it cost? -.-v

I scanned through your session quickly.

1. Dont' post whine threads.
2. Don't sit at the table with less than 12 BBs.
3. You overpplayed that AQo hand by three-betting the flop and then calling down after being capped.
4. You missed some expensive draws - it happens.
5. You made some second-best hands - it happens.
6. You didn't get action on some pre-flop monsters - it happens.
7. After only 60 hands it's obvious that when you raise overs PF and autobet a raggy flop, you always check-through the turn, even HU. If anyone playing at your table is remotely observant, you might have lost a pot or two by (1) not getting a fold on the turn, and (2) folding to a river bet after this happens. Review your turn play.

Exactly. Stop switching limits, you're inviting this sort of thing to happen (running good at one limit and bad at another). If you think you're good enough for 2/4, take 300BB there and play until it's gone. Your sample size is too small for you to draw any reasonable conclusions. Play 50,000 hands at 2/4 and then see how you're doing.

I posted them at http://e292b.w3.ton.tut.fi/hh/ All exported in Excel form.

Anyway, I decided to play to $2000 at $1/$2 and then move and see if it goes any better. Thanks everyone.

I saw that you were about 30 VP$P and 20 PFR at 2/4? Am I correct? Any, I think only the best players can play that style for a significant win-wrate at 6-max. I would advise you play more like your normal 10 player table, and add hands little by little.

Yea I will be trying this. I started running bad at 1/2 as well now though /images/graemlins/frown.gif So will take a while to get back to 2/4 (@ $2000). Lost 2x AA, KK and 2x QQ in a row to most bizarre holdings. /images/graemlins/frown.gif I know it will end sometime so I look towards a better tomorrow with a lot of hope in my heart! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif Thanks for the tip(s)

Yea I moved to $2/$4 when i had 300 BB for it and quit after losing something like 100-150 of it.
