without some kind of read on UTG, I'm mucking this as well.

I think overaggression in spots like this will hurt your ROI more than folding ever will. I fold this nine times out of ten. He has had to have raised a lot of pots for me to push here.

It's not ultra-weak. You seem to be posting about pretty close decisions. How bad a cooler are you on?

Not that bad anymore. Variance swung the other way over the last 5, so I'm only down 6 buy-ins over the past 100 (which isn't a lot, but that's almost 2 months of poker for me). Had a 14 OTM streak earlier and a 5/23 ITM run after that (all 5 ITMs were 3rd places).

I think the main problem is that I have the confidence of a little schoolgirl.

Thanks for the replies. I'm getting myself a Dell 2001FPW and SNGPT for Christmas. I will conquer this stupid game.

I understand. I don't play a huge number of games and back when I was single tabling it was really slow. A flat streak of 100 is not terribly unusual, but when it is a flat streak of a month it feels like a lot.

I think it is a common problem when people are running bad or breaking even that you try to force the action. I find that multitabling solves that since you can't dwelve on stuff.
