steal the blinds more and stop calling down with big overcards when it is clear that you are beat.

I don't know what limits you play, but at very low limits when I'm on a downswing I tighten up and only play the most profitable hands.

Good players can squeeze profit out of marginal hands, and when I'm losing I say to hell with everything marginal and just stick to big hands and people pay you off enough on those at low limits to begin rebuilding.

Thanks I have been playing only $1-2 NLH some of the pots can get to $300. Today I have been playing the top ten AA KK etc when I have KK some has AA its been a crazy few weeks.

When I first started I was doing well I knew it could never be that easy.

Do you have the bankroll to withstand this downswing playing 1/2 NLHE? Variance in NL can be a total heartbreaker at times. It might be worthwhile to drop down a level so you can re-evaluate your game and find leaks. I've taken a long time off from NL after getting slammed for a third of my roll.

Win more hands, lose less hands. Hope that helps.

in the time it took you to write that post, you could have possibly learned something of value in one of the other posts here. that, i think, is the root of your problem.
