Default Re: winning small pots, losing the big ones.

Thanks. So more replies to posts here, right. Will do.
Raise more? Something along the lines of suited Aces down to 8 or 7, from MP? Suited or Unsuited Broadways?

I think I need to loosen up some of my PF Calling too. Well, From the blinds at least. Its annoying to discover that they guy who PFR'd is a maniac after I've folded a winning hand. (Too results oriented, I know, but how many short term results does it take to add up into a long term trend?)

I'm approaching 30k hands now, and up to 16-19k or so I guess I was just running good. The 1st 10k were firmly my "Newb" hands, before anything past "Aces good" came into my play. heh. But since aug 1, so a month and a half now, the "No Big Pots" rule has been in effect. Every single online session since then has been negative. I mean, I'll win a couple good ones, but lose that lead almost immediately to one thing or another and then the rest of the buy in follows.

Yaknow. The forward in SSHE has it too right. The bit about the feedback in hold em being utterly nonlinear. Do everything exactly right, and still lose. I think there is some entrenched deep part of my brain thats just screaming at the wrongness of that.

I know how tedious all this is going to sound to the long term poker players. Hey, I've been playing since Feb. this year. This is the first deep downturn I've seen (previously they've been polite enough to pack up after a week or so) so I've yet to build up the scar tissue for it. And its hard to heal up when the wound is still being made. Oh well.

Ok. Officially moving back down to .5/1

and yeah, he was chasing with 26c. (eyeroll)
