Thanks guys.

Cardsman, in answer to most of your questions, I hope,...

I am pretty tight. I don't play a lot of Aces including weak suited and AT Some guys here will play suited aces in late position, but I feel that cards like A6-9 are sucker cards. I always raise my pairs down to 99, but only in unraised pots for the lower ones. I only reraise with AA and KK preflop. I will raise with some suited connectors if I feel the table is pretty passive.

My raises are like this. I raise 1 buck when no one has raised in front and then I add 20 cents for each caller. That is whether I'm raising with AA or with 89 suited. So I am not as tight as my stats show, I think.

Did I mention that I'm not getting any cards the last 8,000 hands?

I do C bet if there is one, maybe two players left on the flop. My minimum raise is 1/2 the pot, and I will sometimes make it 3/4 or the full pot if there is a draw for me or if I feel I may have the best hand at the moment.

I am still unsure about what to do when re-raised. I have had some success with raising back, but I have also made some grave errors in judgement and gone too far only to get beat by the best hand.

Also, I've been bluffed recently by a KT suited to my AK. Mullard re-raised my 5 or 6 BB preflop raise. I call. The flop comes xxA. I make my C bet, and Doofus raises that. I figure, given his pre-flop betting that he's on KK or AA, and given my experience with AK, I figure that he's got a set so I fold. Asshat flashed me his KT which was nothing.

I don't think the dude knew my game at all 'cause I didn't know his and I don't recall playing him a lot before. Anyhow, that is but one story. Bluffing into a multiway pot can't be good strategy, but he took my money at any rate.

I admit to making a few rash plays of late. Mostly because I'm not getting cards at all. Pairs and even suited connectors are rare nowadays.

I think that there's another problem and that's that I need to step back, slow down, re-read some of my books again, read more posts here and on other sites about some things that I've forgotten or that I do not fully feel comfortable with (like the math part) and discuss things more with people here. By slow down I mean to go back to playing 2 tables at a time instead of 4, to really force myself to analyze things and also to look more at my histories. I've been lazy in all these things of late. Looking for quick fixes isn't going to turn my game around.

Thanks again. More will come.
