after a very good run at 30/60 for the past few weeks, I've hit a really bad slump and am trying to find the flaws in my game. I find this situation really hard to play.
In the first hand, the button was a more solid player and probably folded too easily postflop. The second hand involved a more aggressive, tricky player and I felt he would raise me here with a large variety of hands given that the Kxx flop probably didn't connect with my hand. Is this the standard line? or should I be peeling a turn and/or calling down (or check raising the turn?) some percentage of the time? Basically, I feel that I have only one line for my hand and it feels like I'm just giving my money away..
