    Well the torture continues. I've not managed to turn this ship wreck around at all. TBH I'm not even properly rolled for 2nl right now but hey they don't have anything lower! I'm adjusting and pretty much starting all over. Keith_mm turned me on to a site which has free training videos (Video 101 series - Free Winning Texas Holdem Poker Strategy Videos) and my plan is to follow through with them. I figure even if it's not the best plan atleast it's a plan. I've watch the first two which are very basic but I think it's a good sound way to grind through 2nl. I'm really hoping I don't have to reload the account although it's not a big deal if I do atleast financially, would be terrible for my ego though.
    I've got to start posting hands more often, hell even occassionally would be helpful. Over the last couple days it just seems crazy but I've had so many coolers I can't believe it. I know that's not the entire problem hell actually that's just part of poker but it's fucking magnified since everything else is going to fucking bad. Hell here's a sample of what I'm talking about:

    Villian is pretty standard 2nl player. Playing damn near every hand etc. I don't have exact stats cuz I'm playing at work and I don't have HEM at work.

    $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Holdem
    8 Players
    Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com
    Stacks:
    UTG mjranew ($2.01)
    UTG+1 Hero ($1.84)
    MP1 bouf1000 ($1.54)
    MP2 Airstream66 ($2.96)
    CO steve23c ($2.56)
    BTN mzr6222 ($0.91)
    SB newtpkr ($0.81)
    BB Ague ($4.78)
    Pre-Flop: ($0.03, 8 players) Hero is UTG+1
    1 fold, Hero raises to $0.06, 5 folds, Ague calls $0.04
    Flop: ($0.13, 2 players)
    Ague bets $0.13, Hero raises to $0.48, Ague calls $0.35
    Turn: ($1.09, 2 players)
    Ague bets $0.90, $0.9 to Hero ($1.3)?

    I think I played this about as good as I could have.

    The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck."

    Keith turned me on to these videos too. I like the "Owned" Series. Two guys review another players' video and make comments. They will pause the video at times to discuss what the player should do or did. Check it out. Helped alot

    they did a hand history review for me that made me cringe when i saw what i was doing luckily it didn't get posted . Basically that was the real turn around for me and pointed out where I was really going wrong.

    The trouble with a sweat is that you are conscious of someone watching and commenting and it can subconsciously make you play diffferent. Do it on a historic session where you weren't intending to have it commented on and all the mistakes are there in all there glory once they are pointed out.

    KK - that turn was a shitty card, made straights are there as well flushes , you aren't drawing to the nut flush and being asked to stack off calling that bet .....I think i fold. Only good card that can come is the A hearts.
