    Default So I suck at poker...

    ...but its ok because Im gunna fix it.

    My story in short is that I worked my way up to 100NL, won a bit and then took a long break right around christmas until almost now when uni and life got too busy.

    Ive recently returned to 100NL and realised I now suck. If anything, the games seem softer than when I last played but apparently I cant beat them for shit. I'm spewing alot of chips by bluffing into players who wont fold in rediculous situations where I almost never have the hand I'm representing and I'm wayyy overvaluing medium overpairs right now. Im sure its just a case of finding my rhythm again but I have decided to drop back to 50NL for now until I become a winning player again.

    Im writing this partly because I know this isn't varience and I dont want to hide behind that. Also I feel making this downswing public will force me to acknowledge the weaknesses in my game and correct them.

    So my plan is this.

    -I'm going to be playing £25NL on crypto for say... 10K hands and I'm going to be posting alot of them.

    -I'm not going to bluff for the next week even If the guy looks really weak (except cbets). This is going to be -EV but hopefully it will get me out of the habbit of bluffing at everything which is way more -EV.

    -Im going to be alot more cautious with medium overpairs.

    -Im not going to have my aces cracked.

    Wish me luck
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    Good luck not getting AA cracked! Actually I love my AAs, they win almost always. I looked at my KK stats last night though, and apparently I'm only up like $8 with them. haha

    MSN me to talk poker sometime
