Re: Am I Playing These Wrong???

Am I Playing These Wrong???
Below are four hands I just played. I have recently gone from killing the 2/4 game to wanting to vomit evertime I finish playing. Are these just bad beats? Am I misplaying these. Should I play...

Someone did some work on the stats in the miscellaneous tab of Poker Tracker a while ago to determine if players were running bad. Does anyone remember the thread or have the link to it. Thanks.

Standard Deviation Question...
I feel like this should be simple and that I should know it, but apparently I don't. So here goes:
If my win-rate is 2.74 BB/100 and I play 375 hands in one hour and plan on playing for eight...

Re: Another tough situation
I bet this flop. What hands does he 3-bet preflop with? AA, KK, QQ, AK, maybe JJ? In any case, I bet here and then if raised call, check call down. Unless of course you know he is a good player...

Re: Blind steal goes bad
Sure you might be getting odds to try to spike a pair, but what if your opponent already has your pair beat? Then if you spike a pair you are in an even worse spot. If he has been fairly tight, I...

Re: A9o question
If there was less action in front of you, I would raise PF. With that many callers, I am folding PF.
I raise the flop for sure so I can get a read on what sort of hands the blinds have. I am...

Re: Playing a low flush
I think he made a straight on the river. Who knows what the other guy is calling with. I'd three bet in retrospect, but if I was sitting in the situation, I might have frozen up and only called.

Re: TPTK
On the flop, I am worried about a set. And I would probably play it the way you did. Not too sure why he slows down. I would look at his showdown cards and make a note about 3 betting a draw or...

Re: 3.5 bets cold to AKo
I go ahead and fold here b/c I am out of position and not suited. AKs, I am loving all the extra money in the pot. Not suited, I'll just muck it and get their money when I have a bigger advantage. ...

Re: 80% W$SD

Re: How much do you stick to the preflop guide?
In my first 10,000 hands - exactly to a T, no deviations.
Since then, I make all sorts of plays depending on who is in pot, my position, and how big the pot is. It's always great when you get...
