Default Re: I\'m having trouble

Each time you play online ask for a hand history to be emailed to you. Do this every time you play. Paste the hand history from html into a Word document. Next, sort the hands you played two ways. First, those hands in which you folded preflop. Compare these hands to any of the various starting hand requirements that you have read. Starting hands are easy - you're either playing the right hands in the right position or you're not. Second, print out and analyze in detail those hands that you played. Count the outs, assess the pot odds, implied odds, pot equity, etc. This will take a while, but will be a great learning experience. For these hands, you either hit the flop with a made hand or you have a draw. I find when I do this that I tend to play weak draws too far or stay in too long with an overpair. Also, play the lowest buy-in tournaments that you can, but play tight and aggressive. Good luck.
