First of all, thanks everyone for the replies. All comments duly noted and I'll try playing a little different next week to see if it helps. I am aware that "bad luck" is a weak players excuse, but I think it's getting a fair few rough nights in a row and some bad beats impacting my confidence, which probably makes me more passive.

You need to loosen up slightly. If you are only playing monsters, then it is no wonder you get no action on your hands when you do. As for getting no cards, can you be a bit more specific? What kind of hands are we talking about? What do you do with hands like small pp’s 22-66? Mid pp’s 66 – 99? What about drawing hands like QJs?
What I mean is I will consistently get dealt 95 o/s (my most frequent hand) or another variant of that kind of hand (low, never connected and usually not suited). Its extremely rare for me to hit small or mid pocket pairs (I haven't been clocking it, but its rare), when I do i usually raise preflop. I very very rarely hit two value cards (when I do, its KK or AA, never AK, KJ or QJs). Next Monday I'll keep track of my hands and post them for you, and you can give me more pointers if that's okay.

I know I have to avoid camping, but its pretty demoralising hitting 95 o/s for 2 or 3 orbits and hit a decent hand. I usually bluff about 4 or 5 hands over the evening successfully, but i suppose i should bluff a little more ???

what/how fast do your blinds go up? if the blinds are big relative to your stacks, this might become a push or fold situation preflop really early, or it might be relatively unwinnable through skill.
Blinds start at 2/4 (400 chip each start) and double every time 2 guys bust out, or every 3 orbits if things are going slow. Usually I get to the point where i push 200 when there's 4 left on the table (Blinds 16/32) and the chip leader is at about 800. Should I be pushing a little earlier ??

I'll come back and edit this a little later, i have a class to get to.[/quote]
