the key to winning poker is tight agressive play, back to the basics mr. flynn. less calling, more raising and folding and you can't go wrong.

Don't feel bad, I played a 2 hour session of that and dropped 7 buy-ins and most of them commented on how tight I was playing. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

you need to approach the game from a different perspective at these tables, here is an excellent post from the 2+2 game

You've got a losing record over 250 hands. That's a lot. Are you sure you're a winning player?

Also, you're posting in the wrong forum. I believe you're looking for "beginners".

Based on a fairly large sample size it looks like you are being out played. I would suggest focusing on better game selection.

Don't call off half of your stack preflop with king high.

I would suggest moving down in limits until you feel comfortable playing at this high of stakes.
