Don't Know What I'm Doing Wrong-help?

[Fish-o-rama 0]

Okay, I'm a long term loser in poker. Before the last month, I was doing pretty well playing NL hold'em at 1-2 and 2-4. Then, for some reason, my play went totally sour, and I haven't been able to make anything. The previous wins I had built up in the months before that quickly evaporated, and I dropped about 3K in a couple months. I went down in limits, and actually ended up doing WORSE than I had been before. I'm convinced that I'm making some sort of fundamental mistakes, either in the math, card-reading, or just in attitude. Would someone be willing to play at a table with me, and point out all the mistakes I make by IM? I promise to donk my entire stack off to you by the end of the session if you help me with this for a couple hours.

Well, it's impossible to tell without seeing some hands.I'd suggest posting hands that you think were troublesome for you, and go from there.I've got a busy weekend, so I won't be around much, but if you want PM your screenname, if you play on Stars, and your aim/msn or whatever, and if I'm around while you're playing, I'll rail for a bit while I play. I find something like that actually benefits me as well, so if I'm around, I'd prolly be down, although I don't claim to be a great NL player - Zach

sounds like FPS, or fancy pants syndrome.try playing ABC poker, it could also be just a downswing if you don't play very often.

Well that's only 8-15 buy-ins at those limits, but since you have only been playing for a few months it could be that both your up and down swings were just variance.Either way you will need to work on your game and HU is not the way.Try reading and picking apart some hands, it's what we do here.
