Running bad :(

Sorry about your bad run. Those hands are gross

according to that program, I'm running sick good :x hence I will not offer any advice because you are clearly just in a rut and I am simply uh... a luckbox

but you'll snap out of it!

my EV graph looks like that

that's pretty gay.
I've had my share of bad beats/coolers this month and it doesn't look quite as bad as yours with the program. In fact it looks pretty good to me.. so you must be running pretty shitty.
Good luck.

I personally think that these hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198686 AKs vs 87o
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198687 calls a 3bet with Q8o

were totally your fault
the AKs vs 87o I woulda folded because of the sick overbet. Even though you are 100% sure you have the best hand, in a coinflip everything can happend and I wouldn't risk $20 in a coinflip...
The 2nd one well, with the QTQ there and getting a lot of callers, I wouldn't lead that hand.

Those are my thoughts.

theres no reason to call an all in with AKs I think, you can shove first with it but dont call all ins with AKs...

I think your obviously playing poorly in your large pots. You need to understand at 25NL people generally won't play a huge pot without they feel is the nuts. If you can make a read that it is likely your opponent is playing a marginal hand, and your spot on, great. Otherwise, be conservative and get your money into spots where your owning your opponents for huge value. The AK call is brutal, the JJ could have been played more conservatively.

You need to find what works for you. Just playing more of the same more of the same until your broke isn't exactly the answer. Look for leaks, get an in depth understanding of the stake your trying to beat and what you're up against, GL.

That is what i do, the cards just dont cooperate man, im trying my best, i trust my reads, i try to avoid marginal situations but when an opponent beats your QQ with A2o AIPF dont you think that it is simply a coldeck?

btw opponent was 92/58

AleKSei, don't mind the other posters, your play with the AKs is fine, its not a "coinflip", you're a 65/35 favorite and you made a solid read.

The Q8 hand is a little unlucky and I most likely go broke there as well because he could easily have AT, JK, clubs, etc. The hand itself is questionable but your play isn't bad there by any means.

P.S. You're not the only one:


Keep your head up and keep fighting.

Looking at your graph again, your sample is much larger, meaning that you definitely have been unlucky for an extended period, but more importantly your expected total winnings are not going up - you definitely have leaks in your play and need to reeval some parts of your game more cautiously.

I'm just running bad for this week -_-

Thanks man

I really appreciate, i by no means im implying that im a perfect player i too have lots of leaks like any other nl25 player but im working really hard to make this profitable.

and generally become a better player.


Thanks for the input again.
