So I think I discovered my biggest leak to date, and that is not knowing enough about turn/river play. I've been on a fun little heater at rush again buying in for the minimum 40BB's, only to realize that it has been my greatest strength being able to effectively only play a preflop+flop game, where the money is usually going in at that point if either of us have anything. You would think I'm missing out on some good implied odds situations, but I came to realize that I just dont get AA/KK or multiway draws often enough to make it really matter. In 5k hands I feel like I've only missed 5-10 opportunities to stack someone for 100BB's. But I cant tell you how many times I would have been stacked via suckout/cooler if I was playing 100BB's the whole time. You know the adage, "win a small pot instead of lose a big one". I'm pretty lag running around 32/25 so I tend to pick up lots of small pots and healthily grind my stack up. Once I have a certain amount I dont feel like losing I just quit and reload the table for another 40BB's. This keeps me from getting it allin and losing those 200BB pots.
After playing said 5k hands and winning at around 22BB/100 I decided to go ahead and see what happens if I buy in full again. BOOM, instantly lose like 5 BI's in 5 minutes, in the same fashion that causes me to lose monitors, mostly villains just drawing out on me. I'm sure there is a proper way to play your hand that doesnt always involve getting felted postflop, but I have yet to learn it. This might be why I do OK in SNG's as well, since the majority of your time is spent playing with less than 100BB's. However buying in short has been a great loss limiter, and I'm very rarely missing out on any real value anyway so I'm just gonna keep at it for a pretty long time until I decide it's time to improve my play.

Alright, so why don't you learn the details of tournament poker and play that instead of cash? Tourney poker is largely played at <60bb.
No matter what form of poker you play though, I hate your mindset, all you think about are suckouts and shit. You don't think right. I struggle with emotions in regard to poker as well but you're at like the fish level still. |

You just have to stop looking for that magic pill Saibot. Its hardly ever true that you 'just have to change this one thing to be a winner' |
