Brisco 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Well here I am starting over.Last year i started playing poker on the old FCP site with 50 bucks, and the hope I would not go broke. I ultimately make just over 6000 and cashed out when the neteller thing hit. I left 24 bucks on FCP which ended up at Stars. Well things have allowed me to play a little poker again. I have grinded my tiny bankroll up to 175.00, but now am stuck. I seem to just be going up an down between 150.00 and 200.00, and am having trouble finding a rythm to get back on a regular profitable track. Today i updated my pokertracker software, and want to get back. Any tips to get over this stall?I am playing .10 .25 NL PL Anyone else ever hit this kind of an issue?Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

MadWolf1980 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 i think its time for you to take a shot at some higher Limits where they respect your Raises.and if that doesnt work out you can just do what everybody else does. You just wait a couple of days and start over again...and again...and again..... Link to post Share on other sites

Brisco 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Grind it out.I started out playing .5 .10 nl on FCP, and played super tight. Eventually got up to 20 buy in's at that, and moved up.Along the way i played a few small sattelites to 50 dollar buy in tournaments and had a few decent cashes. Eventually i had a roll to bounce back and forth between .25 .50 and .50 1.00 and just regularly made a few hundred a month. Just cant seem to get back on track.. it has been i guess almost a year.

Brisco 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 4.40 180 mansit and gosI have been playing these for about a week, and have cashed a couple times, but overall in the negative. I think i just need to loosen up a bit. I find myself short stacked near the bubble, and either just make the money or just don't. Link to post Share on other sites

ice4804 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'd recommend posting your PT stats in the strat forums and let those guys take a look. Maybe you have a few leaks that are putting you in -ev situations. Link to post Share on other sites

Like most tournaments i am usually short around the bubble and lose a coin flip to eithee make the money or just miss.I just want to get back to .50 1 and grind out a few hundred a month. Just not sure how to get back. I had always used 20 buy in rule, but play pretty tight, and never ran this bad. I am losing huge pots holding monster hands. Lost 2 pots with full houses today Link to post Share on other sites
mase_gotsem 0 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 humm not sure what to say here .. could you be playing to tight passing up some +ev spots ? only really explanation i can say wld be just a cold streak ..id def go talk strat with some of the consistant winners/ring grinders and maybe post some hand histories where your not sure you made the right fold/call ..

RabidTortuga 0 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 As far as the $4.40's go, they are crushable. Until pretty recently, I was doing the same thing you are in tournaments, getting deep short-stacked, and either bubbling or barely cashing.Then I watched Annete15's video where she plays a $4.40 blind, without seeing her hole cards, and wins.All sorts of silly little lights clicked on in my head. I had always heard that tight players couldn't win tournaments, and that you had to accumulate chips and focus on the win, but I never understood how to do it until I watched that video.Granted, she gets lucky in a couple of spots, but watching her play position and pick on short/medium stacks changed my game completely. I'm obviously still making mistakes, but adjusting my play now has me much more successful. In 46 tournaments (various buy-ins) before watching the video, I had 2 final tables and no wins. In 24 since, I have 4 final tables and 2 wins, and have all but forgotten about grinding cash games, because tournaments are actually fun again. Link to post Share on other sites
