Help - I can\'t place in the money!
Just started playing recently and have done quite well turning $40 into around $360 on $6 and £11 dollar 10/20 table games until bang I've hit a brick wall (after reading two theory books one by David Sklansky!) now i cant seem to win with any regularity anymore. I honestly think the books were great and I know my poker has improved but now im struggling to place in the money with any regularity - im down to $190 dollars now. I think a lot of this is to do with bad luck but I think something may be missing from my game that was there before. Any ideas anyone?

Re: Help - I can\'t place in the money!
Could be a multitude of things. I experienced the same thing after reading DS's TPFAP. Part of my problem was that I started to play too many hands in rounds 1-3 with a view to trying to flop monsters. As a result I was getting sucked into drawing hands and pots where I had top pair with a poor kicker.
Other than that I think the results just corrected themselves after I played more games. |

Apoca,
1. Adjust your bankroll to make sure you are not playing over your BR Limits 2. Post hands. Or post an entire SNG HH, and we can take a look. Nick |

Dont confuse correlation with causation...that book should be a mandatory read (at least 5 times through) for any aspiring SNG player. And like the other poster mentioned...if youre limping early with baby pairs and suited conectors to try and catch a monster, try and set strict limits for yourself as to what youll do on the flop and after. No set, fold to any bet etc...

Read and follow Aleo Magus' 10+1 strategy guide (linked from the SnG faq at the top of this forum). Just can't recommend that enough as a foundation for a solid sit an go strategy.
