taking shots, always failing (low limit and low content)

[therockofgibraltar]

I play in 0,5/1 and win all the time, then I take shot in 1/2 and always lose 50-100BB. Then back to 0,5/1 and win. Then another shot in 1/2 and the same continues, I lose. And fast.

This is the latest 1/2 session. -25BB in minutes. All the hands I played are here (not include some check-fold play from blinds). Do you find anything REALLY bad?

No special reads. Everyone seems loose and passive, not overly aggressive

BTW, what to do with A2-A9o in MP or CO after caller(s)? I always fold.

perhaps as many as 6 outs, but that's being generous.

how is 6 outs generous? it's as many as 9 and as low as 3 or 4, but I would say it's likely a minimum of 6 outs (9s and Qs). If you make your hand more bets are going in on the river. I personally can't fold such a live hand.

Umm... I dont get it. I dont see many outs and the pot isnt that big.

[iluzion]

it all actually looks pretty standard, i dont bet the flop (or turn, UI) on hand 5.

[marsvolta619]

I think the common theme you're gonna see here is your aggression level. I've never played the .5/1 so I'm not sure how it plays, but a lot of this is not being able to adjust to what this other game is bringing, and that is aggression.

Hand 1: fine

Hand 2: You need to raise this flop. Tie the CO in to the hand and take control. You have the nut flush draw, an inside nut straight draw, and maybe just maybe your ace is good.

Hand 3: Check the turn. You're not going to drive BB out, and king high isn't going to win this. Get a free look at the river.

Hand 4: perfect

Hand 5: I would probably raise this preflop, but just complete if it's unsuited. On the flop, nice checkraise but why did you chicken out on the river?

Hand 6: I would probably peel the turn here as people will definitely raise with only a flush draw. Without reads I dunno.

Hand 7: good

Hand 8: good

Hand 9: call

[therockofgibraltar]

Hand5:

I thought they had a better ace, was on a SD (and they got it) or on FD (which of course missed). Maybe bet-and fold to a raise would be better.
