So, I started playing poker about 2-3 weeks ago. Didn't really have much knowledge prior to doing so. Read the guides here, as well as elsewhere and generally tried to get myself as informed as possible before I put money into it. When I eventually did put some money in, I guess I still wasn't informed enough, as I threw away like 15 buy-ins in a very short time span.
After that, I realized just how retarded a lot of my play was, and I think I have a great deal of that fixed, although I'm still not that far past it. Atm, I am pretty much breaking even, maybe a little bit on the positive side.
That's what brings me to making this blog, pretty much. I'm still fairly scared to post anywhere on this site (as I am when I first join most online communities for some non-apparent reason), but this blog seems un-intrusive enough to allow those who want to help me do so, while not annoying the site regulars 
Anyway, onto my current situation. I feel like there's something missing in my approach to poker or some leak that I'm failing to see. Again, that goes back to the whole "breaking even" thing. Every time I play, I always seem to get up in money, and then lose a hand after I go all-in with it. I keep looking at the hands in hindsight and not seeing a bad play on my part, but because it just seems to keep happening all the time, I feel like maybe it *is* something I can fix.
An example of one such case tonight:

And here's my graph for the last 600 hands, which I think displays that sort of thing happening fairly often:
Any general or specific advice you guys could give me would be very greatly appreciated.

that examples an obvious cooler dude, it happens and don't read to much into it, your play was fine.
As for only breaking even, over only 600 hands its hard to tell whether or not you can beat that level of play yet, play about 3k hands and see how you're doing then, if you're still only breaking even/losing, then post some of your hands here that you lost BI's on and see if you can get help

Alright, I've got about 3k hands total now, but that includes my retarded approach from before. I'll try and increase my hands a lot and see how it comes out. Thanks! |

In the example you posted you flopped the nuts and got your money in good, this time he drew out on you but this was the correct play. I'm fairly new to poker myself but I can already advise playing tight and don't pull any fancy moves on these tables as it will cost you money to begin with. As you learn the game more and move up the stakes then you will find you can open up a little. gl! |
