Why am I losing?
I've played about 13000 hands of 20/40 over the past few months. I feel like I consistently run bad and consistently lose all the big pots to 2, 3, and 5 outers on the turn and river. Obviously, this partially is due to some sort of selection bias. I also feel like every time I deviate from ABC poker it bites me in the ass e.g. every time I give a free card by checking behind on the turn or by going for a c/r, it costs me the pot. Hopefully, my sample size is just small and I will turn this thing around, but I am worried I am just fooling myself into thinking I am one of the better players. I notice my opponenets making mistake after mistake...They chase gutshots on the turn in small pots, their preflop play is way too loose, they cap ten high flush draws heads up with 2 overcards to their ten, blah, blah, blah. I probably just don't recognize all the mistakes that I am making (mostly postflop, I'm sure). Anyway, here are my stats. Most of these hands are between 6-10 players (Average players per hand is 7.2). I usually sit at tables with 5 or 6 people and they end up filling up. All comments welcome. Or if you play in the 20/40 lately, maybe I could PM you my screen name and you can tell me why I suck. Thanks.
