Given what I've seen of your posts on this board, it seems like you ... are having trouble executing with consistency.

Agree.

I peel the flop too much, as you can see above, even when the flops are horribly coordinated. This along with not betting enough rivers is probably my biggest problem [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'm probably going to two table 3/6 6max for a while and see how things go. If they don't shape up I'll take a long break.

This exact same thing happened to me. For about 3 months, I ran way hotter than I had a right to at PS 3/6. Won tons, then went into a catastrophic reversal of fortune. Session after losing session after losing session.

Fortunately, I just play recreationally and to pay expenses, so I took a break, got a friend to stake me for a while, and focused on low-stress things like MTTs and stud. Perhaps not an option if you're serious about the game, but I still think it's great for stress to keep "fun poker" along with serious money poker.

Best of luck

I didn't get past hand 1. You were a pussy on the river, plain and simple.

Thanks for your input. I knew that, [censored]. Don't call me a pussy.

Here are my graphs for this month. I don't know if it's normal.

The first huge $$$ downswing is from a 15/30 shot, the second one is when I had regained enough confidence to go back to 5/10 6max.

In looking at a lot of those hands, it really looks as if you are overvaluing aces. Now you dont give any reads on those tables or an opponents so I can't be sure, but it looks like you are peeling too often with an Ace. In some of the cases your kicker was an under too so in effect youre probably drawing to 3 outs in most of those situations.

Here are my estimations of problems.

Hand 1- you know what you did wrong here. Bet the river.
Hand 2- I dont think AK high is good often enough to call down. If you really think it is, I think I like raising the turn and folding to a 3 bet much better than calling down. I especially dont call down with AK high when the 4 straight hits on the river.
Hand 3- Probably a good fold on the river, but probably should have been a fold on the turn. The flop call turn raise is almost always a sure sign youre done for.
Hand 4- Calling down with Ace high, I'm not a fan. Again I think you might be better served with a turn raise than calling down.
Hand 5- I'm not a fan of the cold call, but I like the flop fold.
Hand 6- Do you really think A9 is good 1 in 5 times here?
Hand 7- I can't figure out what I dont like about this one, but it sits poorly with me.
Hand 8- This one doesnt look too bad.
Hand 9- Again bet the river.
Hand10- Not too bad.

Someone please correct my thinking if I'm way off base here.

I think about the same as you. I don't peel when I only have 1 overcard to the board. I will bet if checked to tho and fold the turn if c/r on the flop.

I am not sure what you did wrong there.

This is a horrible board to peel on [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

IMO this does not classify as a mistake compared to not betting the river in hand 1 and 9.
