The last two sessions of stud that I've played, I've lost a ton. I'm wondering if I'm just running badly or if there is some basic flaw in my game that I need to address. The first session was about a month ago at 3/6, but unfortunately I didn't save any HHs from it. It was so brutal that I just took a break from stud and built my bankroll back up playing the low-limit NL hold 'em tables and some SNGs. Sat down at 2/4 today and got raped again. I need help. So I'm going to be posting some hands over the next week or so that I'd appreciate comments on. My apologies to any who don't like reading what they consider boring or ordinary hands, but please understand that I'm questioning almost every mundane decision that I make and need reinforcement or chastisement (whichever you guys deem necessary).
Anyway, here's a hand.
