$11: boring hands, please get me off tilt
 

Just dropped 4 in a row. Getting pwned since I moved up to the $11s. How tiltish are these hand? Would appreciate someone telling me 1.) I'm an idiot 2.) my play is suboptimal but okay and it's just variance.

I drop 4 in a row on a regular basis.

I might check the first hand, if he has been limping in the SB when folded to him a lot, I might push, though.

I push the second one pretty regularly.

these both look fine.

if you can't deal with dropping four in a row.... yeesh. smokey, you're entering a world of pain.

I agree with the first response, but with the 2nd hand having a huge stack in the blinds, have you seen his calling range?

Also i wouldn't be worried about dropping 4 straight at all, i just went 2/16 or so, but i isolated the problems in those

See how pissed you get when drop 10 in a row. Also, neither of these are bad plays, especially not the second one.

Re: $11: boring hands, please get me off tilt
 

Yeah, sorry. Dropped 6 yesterday, so it is technically 10 in a row ... I'm okay with the variance, but I've only played like 19 $11s since rebuilding my roll in the $6s after my last disastrous foray into the $11s. I have serious second guessing problems in the $11s, and wanted to make sure it wasn't affecting my gameplay.

Thanks for the reassurance folks.

Re: $11: boring hands, please get me off tilt
 

All I saw was that in Lvl 3 he checked the BB w/ TT. Flopped a fullhouse, let another guy catch the nut flush, and that's where his chip stack came from. Otherwise, not much going on there ... I read that as tightish, correct?

Re: $11: boring hands, please get me off tilt
 

I agree with everyone about the first hand

I'm really suprised that the 2nd one is a clear push. 89 suited in a 10+1 through 2 people seems wrong to me. Is it a clear push according to sngpt if you didnt have any reads (assume loose beacause its low limits)?

Huge leak in my game? brian
