hey eveyone,
Been reading as much as I could off this site and I think it has helped me a lot. I have been playing holdem in home games for about 6 months and just started to play online. I would do alright against my friends...break even mostly. It was for fun.
Now that I'm playing online I want to make some extra cash like everyone else! Unfortunately I've discovered that I suck. I want to get better. This is where you guys come in
I signed up at Royal Vegas because they give you a free 10 dollars, but it seems like the .05/.10 tables are so loose and people chase with anything. Axo becomes AA for them and they call down. Any two suited cards are awesome and hey I'll play for a 5XBB raise!!
I took my $10 up to $45 by playing tight and winning some pots. But I headed back down to 20 with some bad calls...back up to 40 and down to 13 now. I am getting frustrated.
It should be easy to take these player's money because they have no idea what pot odds are and chase.
Example:
I have KQs on the button. 3 limpers in front of me and I raise 5XBB. I get one caller and am happy that everyone didn't call this time. Flop comes out rags so I make a continuation bet of 2/3 the pot. Villian calls.
Turn is an A. Crap of all the cards he holds he prally has that one. I check. He checks. I figure he's on a busted flush draw like everyone else and bet 1/2 pot on the river and he calls..he had A3o.
They call everything.

So I am ranting but want some real advice.
I play pocket pairs...suited connectors in position and typical AK,AQ,AJ
KQ,KJ,OJ depending on position.

I hate limping into pots unless I have low pairs or connectors, but half the time 6 peole call your 5X raise and half the time everyone folds.
I don't slowplay unless I have the ultrameganuts because it will comeback to haunt you.

Looking for advice in any area of my game.

Wow this is a long ass post thanks for reading.
