Re: Starting to question if this gme is profitable
You seem to make the a priori assumption that you are a winning player, and that if you can't beat the game, then nobody can. You may well be one of the fish contributing to the winning players' profits. If you've only been playing a couple of months, that is quite likely. What evidence do you have that you are a winning player?

Re: Starting to question if this gme is profitable
There are tons of players like you which play far too straightforward, weak, and get run over. I'm sure you end up folding far too often and you don't get much action when you catch a big hand.

That is ridiculously bad. Seriously, I think you need to start over and try to figure out why you can't beat the easiest game on the net before you start trying to run your way up the limits.

I guess I'm glad its not uncommon [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Now the question is how to fix it? Coldcall more and risk playing dominated hands? Continue (maybe lead with) marginal holdings that may pay off when they hit or still lose to stronger hands? Yes, I have a lot of studying to do!

I should note that I hovered between $+200-300 for the longest time at .50/1 then I started doing poorly and went way down (but at the same time I was multitabling a couple higher limit tables and doing ok on those) It is clear I am playing worse than I was a month ago. I am essentially going to "start over" this week.

Re: Starting to question if this gme is profitable
Find a player who is online a lot and routinely kicks ass and watch how he plays for a while. Doesn't have to be someone you know from 2+2, just any random strong online player.

Re: Starting to question if this gme is profitable
You have gotten some good advice here. One thing I would like to add is to knock off the multi-tabling until you are winning consistently. Like maybe over a period in excess of 20k hands.
Multi tabling will increase your income when you are playing a winning game. I believe that you can learn more and improve your game faster while playing and concentrating on one game at a time. Poker is complicated. There are a lot of factors to consider and a lot of informaion to absorb and process dugin the play of a hand. It gets easier to process sort through and recognize the important information with experience, but it takes time to devolop the skills which allow you to do this quickly.
