And so far the op is a miserable failure. Since the 28th, I've lost another $32. A few of it on bad plays, a few of it on the fact I can't win a show down to save my life. Here are two hands I had questions about however. I am trying to play aggressively, but maybe that's the wrong way to go.

No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (MP) ($14.02)
CO ($40.90)
Button ($10.15)
SB ($9.89)
BB ($11.51)
UTG ($5)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 10, A
1 fold, Hero bets $1, 1 fold, Button calls $1, 2 folds

Flop: ($2.35) 7, 4, 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $2, Button calls $2

Turn: ($6.35) 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $5.25, Button calls $5.25

River: ($16.85) 5 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $1.90 (All-In), Hero calls $1.90

Total pot: $20.65

Maybe I should have just checked the turn? Obviously the river call on my part was pure tilt. Need to work on that.

And hand 2:

No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

BB ($18.47)
UTG ($6.65)
Hero (MP) ($11.80)

SB ($5.85)

1 fold, Hero bets $0.75, 3 folds, BB raises $2, Hero calls $1.50

Flop: ($4.60) 6, 10, 10 (2 players)
BB bets $3.25, Hero raises $9.55 (All-In), BB calls $6.30

Turn: ($23.70) A (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($23.70) 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $23.70

Am I always beat here? Seems like everytime I run into this situation when I have an overpair, I'm alway beat by a higher overpair.


Well my bankroll is down to it's lowest point in over a year. I think I'm going to take a break from cash for a few days and concentrate on SNGs. I've got to clear my head.
