I hit a heavy downswing recently mostly from opponents hitting river cards while I was the favorite on turn card. I lost almost every big pots because of those and just crashed myself from nl10 to RIP. All these hands happened last 2-3 days and I had the best hand at the turn. There were many more.

Everytime I grinded 7, I would lose 10 and it kept repeating itself and it eventually tilt me out. I was thinking why am I always getting rivered and always suckout? After cooling down and a lot of thinking, I realized it wasn't only me. I knew luck wasn't the only thing to blame and I needed to fix my leaks. I was sure I had a lot of leaks but I didn't know where to start. Here are the few I thought of.
1. I first realized when I have good hands, I just cbet without looking back. I noticed I stopped looking at textures and draws. Even if it wasn't getting rivered, I realized someone could've beaten me with flush/straight.
2. I make bad decisions against shortstackers. For example, in 10nl, when a shortstacker with 10~30bb all-ins, I would just call with hands like Kx,Ax. It is really dumb. I would win sometimes but keep losing to shortstackers added up.
3. I overplay hands. While I was reading someones HH, someone mentioned something like "Just fold here, why risk a pot? Put your money in better spots". For example, I would bet or call at river with AK and AKQJx on board 'thinking' my opponent wont have that one card.
4. Leaving when over 200bb. Some might disagree with this but I will be following this rule for a bit. Sometimes I would have 30-40$ stack in nl10 and it would be nice if i doubled but lose 3-4 buyins instantly if someone has that kind of stack also.
After keeing all these in mind, I wanted to take another shot at poker. I started two days ago with $50 and here are the results. I slowly grinded up and had almost 20 buyins to take a shot at 5nl but the last $5 was the hardest. It took about 1000 hands to get that last 5 bucks.
I know this is a very small sample but unlike my previous graph where it goes wildly up and down, this one is gradually going up. Hopefully, it will stay like this.. I gonna take a stab at 5nl now. Wish me luck.

waiting for better spots is all well and good but in a cash game all that matters is taking the option with the highest EV, if that option happens to be folding (which is neutral EV) then by all means, wait for a better spot  |

Ok here are leaks what i see
1. U have aces and there are 2 limpers already raise it more then 40c, 8 is not good card for u. He called yor raise that means most of times he is on draw or top pair with draw. JQ etc are in hand range. But i think i would push is good as u played u in flop.
2hand wtf dont fuck on 10nl with big pairs just 50c and more. You get risk your with your stack after that flop real hard because trips are really in his range if u make 30c pre
overall u play maybe 2 monsterpoker u can bet little lighter what makes your decisions little easier and dont run into so hard spots. |

Obviously. I know I'm not playing perfectly... probably not even properly. That's why I'm posting to seek help from people who might find flaws from what I wrote and help me out... How about telling me what am I doing wrong instead of just 'you're not exactly playing perfectly"?... |
