Default Re: On a downswing

I believe it's been pretty well stated that the 5/10 full ring on partypoker is the hardest to beat on that site. This is because all of the gamblers go play SH and fish with big bankrolls play 15/30, and the ones with small bankrolls play 3/6.

Try dropping down to 3/6 full or learn 5/106max assuming you have 450...much much MUCH more profitable.

Good luck
Jon

hand 1:fold preflop u have a dominated hand thats out of position unless its a very tight table full of rocks then u can raise it up preflop.with a loose aggressive table muck it. tight is rite in very loose games.
hand 2:i would have gone 4 the check raise on the flop.if i had J10s then i wood have bet out 4 fear of the over cards and i would want the flush draws to pay 4 thier drawing hands 2 beat my top pair.with middle pair and gut shot hand i would try a semi bluff even though im out of position.
hand 3:i would check preflop as bb why let the world know i have high cards preflop.then check the flop and if someone bets on the flop raise.representing that as the random bb hand i had a 5 in my hand
i want u 2 buy some hold-em books so u can correct the many flaws in ur game.also drop down in stakes 2 get more expierence b4 u land in the poor house

good luck

Your advice is terrible. Please move your poker discussion here. They're closer to your skill level.

I'm in on a -135BB swing. Had the worst tilt of my pro life on Friday and probably could have escaped with a -75BB swing if I'd quit earlier. Such is life. I played yesterday and broke almost exactly even after 3000 hands. I'll play tonight and I'll play tomorrow. Must beat Tosh. Must pay rent.

Please stop posting answers as they're terrible.

If you want, start posting questions.

Writing "4" instead of "for" or "2" instead of "to" is just about the lamest thing I've seen.

Hand 1. Check the turn. Check/fold the river(split pot or losing)

Hand 2. standard

Hand 3. Raise the river...check/fold until you improve

I dropped 100 BBs playing solid aggressive poker at Party 2/4 last night. Sometimes you just can't beat the fish.
