Doubting myself - need a once over.

Ok, onto the content.


Villain has played every single hand for 3 orbits. Won't fold, but he's won 90% of them because he caught some piece of the board and people kept calling him with Ace high.

too passive? I'm guessing yes.

I should have bet this, I know I should have. Bah.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, Hero...?

I'm guessing I should give up the hand at this point. Villain likes his hand enough to bet it. At this point, I'd handed 3 other raised PF no board connected hands to him since he caught bottome pair.


BB is a calling station, SB is completely random. Raising one street, folding the next, didn't have a lock on him by then.

BB checks, Hero....Value bets? (I was sorta worried about the flush, but no one showed any aggression after that pre-flop cap.)
Final Pot: 9 BB

Anyhow, I just wanted to thank you guys for the input and assistance. I know how you hate when someone complains of a downswing, so I attempted to make this constructive rather than "oh please, pat me on the back" What I need is either info or an asskicking to get my crap straight, cause *something* ain't right.

Self analysis is telling me I need to listen to what the board and other's actions are telling me, and let go of more hands that ain't the nuts when turn c/r'd or even just raised...and let go of MANY more when raised on the river. I'm not going to post stats, because my sample size is meaningless.

Also, is there a reccomendation for what sorts of hands to post up? in the past I've tried to bracket the hands I post, between ones I was confidant of, ones I was lost in, and neutral. Lately, I've felt more lost...hence what got posted.

Hand 1 ... Hero folds. King high!

Hand 2 ... if BB is a calling station, what does he cap PF with? AA-QQ, AKs, AQs? Anything else? Better yet, what could he possibly have that you could beat? Check the river. You're only losing money if he's got TT.
