i tend to do the opposite. When I am running well I play a lot more hands, push draws a lot harder and generally run and gun more. When I'm stuck I play like a nit until I regain some of my stack/confidence/composure. Is this abnormal?

[edge]

You're agreeing with Diablo there. When you're running poorly, you make folds in spots where you might otherwise raise, so people try to push you off hands more. When you're running well, your draws are hitting and you're showing down winners, so people fold so as to avoid being stacked.

that's exactly what he said AZK. you read the passive tense wrong. what u do is normal and what all who are running well should. i wouldn't know.

[AZK]

Ah yes. I am retarded. Really need to stop playing and posting at the same time.

AZK,

I wrote that poorly. I should have said:

Your opponents make way more moves when you're losing and make way more bad folds when you're winning and have a big stack.

Hands like this amaze me. I cant get my real hands to hold up when I push in and people want to do this with nothing.

Poker is a game in which, once all of the money is in the pot, the value of your hand is only the likelihood that it will be the best hand after all of the cards are out.

Given this, a flush draw and a straight draw is not 'nothing.'

But, I do feel horrible for your apparently terrible luck with real hands. God Speed.
