I do not understand this game....you can sit and wait for hands and you think people would fold. Every time a flush comes out they get it, no matter what...if they don't have that, they play a bottom pair and always get the second one. I can be down 40 bucks on one hand and get ahead 20 on another. I am playing 1/2 on poker.com. Should i just move up to higher limits where ppl read other players? Seriously, players are playing A-2 and your ak goes to crap when the 2 hits. I have a bankroll of over 500 from nl so what stakes should i be playing?

Moving up limits to avoid suckouts is counter-productive. Do you see why?
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

I understand it in nl but it's easier to chase out fish when you bet 2 into a 2 pot instead of 1 into a 5 pot and they call with a j-3 all the way.

You would think that someone who has been on this forum since 2005 wouldn't think like this.

If the players are bad and you are not winning what does that make you?

(hint: unlucky is not the right answer)

Is it because you'll run lucky and make all your money bacK?
