You suck so bad.
To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

I am puzzled, what type of players would hang around when you have $533 against $20 to $50 stacks. I would be off like a shot.
Rub my magic tum for luck.

Its limit. Stacks don't matter.
Especially when the big stack is a donkey.

Ditto hyper.

But doggz clearly isn't being a donk here. I suggest capping the flop and raising the turn. Also, move up to 2/4 ASAP. And if you continue to lose lots of money, that's just variance. It can go on for months and even years. Just keep cashing in.

Don't cap the flop ... you should be slow playing with 2 back door draws. Oh wait, thats like 5 back door draws if you count the 2 pair and set draws. Definitely a slow play. Reraise and you will just scare them off.
