Am I doing something wrong...?

Hi!

I have played poker from beginning of this year (active playing) and bought PT in the beginning of June.

I played from January - May 0.25/0.50$ and I did okey, got some money for use.

Then I started to play FL also and in few weeks I left NL because of few really bad beats.

But what Im worried about is downswings or maybe Im not too sure is it only downswing or maybe Im doing something wrong.

First I played 2/4 until got money for laptop...I had about 5 weeks +-0 season (end of June to end of July) Then I started with 300bb bankroll in 0.5/1$ FL got it to 600$ in two weeks and moved to 1/2$ and got it to 1200$ in 10 days. Then I moved to 2/4, but had few bad beats and moved back to 1/2$ FL with 500bb bankroll. Now in September I have played about 12 000 hands and Im down about 50bb.

Here are my stats (I wanted to put picture here, but I cant upload atm :/):

Game Level: 2/4, 1/2, 0.5/1
Total Hands: 9894, 17276, 12827
VP$IP: 20.45, 19.19, 19.01
VP$IP(sb):43.95, 36.94, 43.01
Folded sb to steal: 79.07, 81.90, 75.41
Folded bb to steal: 48.57, 51.96, 53.66
Att. to steal blinds: 30.40, 34.00, 32.74
Won$WSF: 35.72, 34.49, 35.89
Amount won: 717.23$, 627.22$, 416.214
BB/100hands: 1.81, 1.82, 3.24
Went to SD: 36.58, 34.07, 35.47
Won $ at SD: 48.99, 52.21, 52.19
PF raise: 10.08, 11.12, 11.69

Is there something wrong with my stats? Can u see Im doing something wrong.

I just feel that I have been very unlucky, but I want to get my play better. I make mistakes, and Im trying to learn from them. That is how I can get my results a bit better, but what can I do more.

Im usually playing 4 tables at time.

Re: Am I doing something wrong...?

why do u move down after a few bad beats? and a 50BB swing is nothing to be worried about. Have you read SSH for limit? keep participating on the forum by way of posting hands and responding to hand posts.

Re: Am I doing something wrong...?

I have read SS2 and other books also.

I moved down, because I didnt feel comfortable having 300bb bankroll so I wanted to have 500bb bankroll.

I know 50bb is nothing, that wasnt the point. Point was I have played over 12 000 hands for that. And thats 2nd time in my 3 months limitcareer. Is that normal? I know I can do +-0 even when Im running bad, but running bad for weeks isnt so great and I would like to get those downswings shorter.

I will try to find few hands to post here later. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

SS2 is not the book to be reading for loose passive small stakes games.

Why didn't you re-raise that rainbow flop?

I wanted button out at turn, I dont think raising at flop would have helped me at all. Thats why...Should I have reraised that flop?

Call or Raise?

I just don't know what more you could have wanted from that flop. You had AKo and you flopped A rainbow. That is the perfect time to start jamming (while you are ostensibly ahead).
