Going through a really bad downswing. any help would be appreciated. There will likely be more of these posts in the near future.

[runner4life7]

ok first hand is god awful. You put in over 1/3 of your stack. YOu are either in or out in this hand and at first glance i think im pushing but its probably close.

Second push is good

Fold this trash for #3

Easy push for #4

keep on posting more hands. good luck on the downswing

[niquewon]

I fold the first and third, push the second and fourth.

1) Push or fold this hand, you can't just dump 250 from your stack.
2) Push looks good
3) Do not complete. You should fold, but if not then push it and pray for a fold or to get lucky.
4) Definitely push.

Also, all these hands show you as a short stack late in the game. This could be just because you checking on pushes in such situations. However, maybe you are playing too tight as the bubble approaches. Perhaps you could change your midgame strategy and not be so shortstacked at the end. Again, could just be a coincidence but maybe there's something to it.

I don't see any other way to play them.

[Uppercut]

First hand is awful. You have less than 7BB and yet you come in with a 2.5BB raise which you have to fold to any reraise because you have a crappy A4o. Yuck.

[flyingmoose]

I open-push 1,2,4 and open-fold 3.
