Your paying way too much attention to your cards. It seems that way through your opening post.

AT vs KT • KJ vs QJ ????

If you went all in with AT or KJ you almost deserved to get sucked out. Maybe it was necessary given your chip count and blind level, but I don't race with those starting hands if I can help it.

It's time you start thinking about the next level. Eventually you'll realize winning poker has less to do with what your holding, and more to do with what they are holding, and what the table thinks of you (your table image).

I heard one of the pros say this once....

Good players read other players. Great players read what other players are reading

It's so true. When you first start playing poker the advice is play tight, follow the positional starting hand charts. Stuff like that. It will only get you so far bro. There are millions of people playing poker. Do you think the ones winning all the money are just playing tight and catching cards? There's another level your not seeing.

These are the areas I've improved in recently. Maybe it will help you...

- Using the board
Use the board against your competition. Don't allow a 3 suited flop to scare you. Use the leverage of fear it generates to steal pots and chase better hands out before showdowns. Paired flops are delicious as well. This is one of the easiest boards to get reads on other hand strengths. I always assume no one has trips, and I'm usually right. Sometimes I represent them when isolated. When a flop of 9 2 9 pops up, basically what you have are like 3 people looking at each other and another guy with A2 suited thinking "Screw this". That's a pot you should be winning.

- Instincts
This is something that will come. Eventually you'll be able to smell a beat coming and cut the losses. I'm not talking about playing with fear. I'm talking about being right more often about a situation. Last night I saw a board of 7c 8s 8c 2d 3c. There was heavy betting throughout involving 3 players. Once the river put a third club on the board and NO ONE slowed down I knew someone had 77. I announced it, people were amazed, it wasn't that amazing.

- Molding
Mold your image to put people on tilt. take a look at Michael's posts in the high stakes section. You'll learn a lot about molding your image from him. I know I did. The thing you have to remember is that people are watching you. Use that to your advantage.

- Attacking Weakness
You probably already do some form of this. This conveniently goes along with molding your image. You attack weakness until you get a bad image with some people. Then you attack those peope with good hands. Basically what happens is if you represent a flopped ace every time, and then you actually have it, you can feel safe betting out and feel confident someone will look you up and pay it off. The mistake people make is they keep attacking weakness after their image goes sour, and they find themselves being slowplayed by a monster. Don't be that person. Let them catch on, and then switch gears.
