Re: consistent losing
Bob,
How long have you been playing?
You want to make sure that not only are you playing quality starters, but that you're able to tell when you should fold those starters if the flop misses you.
When you say you're getting outdrawn, that means to me that you might be chasing with hands that aren't the nuts....are you protecting them by raising so that others have to pay to chase a flush draw, etc? Remember that in O8 hands like top two pair and straights aren't very strong hands.
When you say you're getting counterfeited, that tells me that, though you might be playing A, 2 - perhaps too often they aren't protected by another good wheel card. You may find it wiser to fold those preflop when there's a lot of raising...
And of course there's always the fact that in O8 these things will happen - some players will chase all the way to the end with insane starting hands and then get lucky. Nothing you can do about that except try to raise them off their chase.
Good luck
