I've found myself in this position many times. This past week I've been grinding away at proom and building my stack on small pots only to watch it disappear when I flop a strong hand (trips or better). I've shown a few hands on here and have been working harder on making sure I'm making good plays so I have a better understanding of whether it is me, them, or variance. If I'm playing bad it's not the variance and the past few days I've actually been playing quite well but still managed to lose over 2 1/2 buy-ins the other day.

I've been dropping by-ins to runner-runner and two on the flop that complete on the river flushes. My usuall scenario has been a 6xBB raise preflop, hit a set and get in a pot-sized or more re-raise. Overbet the turn. When the third suite hits the river if I bet my opponent goes all in. If I check my opponent goes all in. I've been running into a number of Axs and a few any two will do.

This line is befuddling me because I am seeing a number of people use it so it's been hard for me to get a read. I'm 1 for 4 on those the last couple of days. My only saving grace is that as I work on improving my ring game, the $5 SNG's are pretty soft and I can replenish my bankroll through those.
