Question about running bad
What you are running bad, and solid people are starting to take shots at you, how can/should you adjust your play? I have been playing 16/11 poker, and the players who I consider competant are calling all my raises out of the blinds, and in MP, and crushing me. As an example, a 15/11/2 type calls my MP raise with A5s in the cutoff. 17/10 calls my UTG raise with 85o in the BB. Is it possible that I am playing so bad postflop that those are +EV calls? Its likely that I'm just running bad, but I don't understand what possesses a TAG to make these calls, and that is what frustrates me. When a fish makes this play, I understand his logic, but when a winning player does this, it makes me worry that I must be doing something wrong.

Re: Question about running bad
I wouldn't worry about it, man. As a TAG I do pick on LAGs, but when something like what you described is happening I chalk it up to misclick/tilt on their part. I don't care who you are, the plays you described are not something a TAG does and feels good about it.

Re: Question about running bad
I see the same thing sometimes, and I wonder if the TAG just came across his pattern mapper or something. Its weird seeing ROCKS that I have 100's of hands on, all of a sudden go wacky for no apparent reason. Example 9/2/1 guy raises 75s UTG, or 8/3/2 guy 3 bets JTo after an UTG TAG raise.
Its weird... Especially when they flop the nutz. I have to go get the tinfoil...

I think I am just running bad, and looking for something to complain about. Things look better at 3PM then 3AM
