party 2/4 loose aggressive
i have Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif
i open raise from emp, and everybody calls.
flop is Q /images/graemlins/club.gif 2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif T /images/graemlins/spade.gif
i bet, somebody calls, and a borderline maniac raises. everybody calls and i raise, everybody calls.
turn: 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif
i bet, maniac raises, small blind raises, i call, maniac caps. 3 see the river with a huge pot.
river: 6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
i check maniac bets, small blind raises.
can i safely let this go? i've been getting beat up all week and i'm torn between throwing up, crying and calling. so, i do all three. it gets capped, and i do all three again.
i think the results are probobly obvious.
could i have kept my 4 bets on the river here?
i've played 10,000 hands at 2/4 and i think i must be horrible because i'm at a whopping .25 big bets/100 hands. i think my two biggest leaks are preflop looseness which i have fixed (i was 24% and now i'm closer to 20%) and calling down when i'm beat. my showdown win percentage is 52%. is that way to low?
i just don't understand. i was beating 1/2 and below easily. i guess i was just lucky or short handed play has screwed my game up beyond repair.
