Does anybody want to give advice now?

You are playing absolutely wrong game. I gave you advice 3 times already, read articles, especially the psychological ones. Post hands on hand judgement section, not here! many of them are all played wrong. Last ones are coolers.

Ok, first off, I read the basic articles on SSS and have followed them - how am I playing wrong? Are you saying the Pokerstrategy SSS articles are wrong?

Secondly, the last hand is a cooler but I posted it because the person LIMPED in with pocket aces, ridiculous. Hand before that, TT vs Q9 is not a cooler. He hit fullhouse on flop. It was 88% chance for me to win vs 8%.

What does psychology have to do with me losing much more than I should be when Im playing SSS? Im not tilting or anything, Im playing all hands by just following the hand charts.

please use a hand converter, and the apropiate forum to post hands, these last hands are played fine btw.

and remember, people getting 4 outers , 2 outers, 3 outers , or whatever is not your fault and it doesn't mean SSS doesn't work. if you have a downswing there's nothing you can do, however there will always be something to do to improve your game.

good luck at the tables.

How do I convert partypoker hand history into image types?

Otherwise I completely agree with you, I seem to be having extremely bad luck. The only problem I have with this being explained as a "downswing" is the fact that this is the exact same thing that happened to me when I tried SSS previously. Playing SSS so far has been constant losing poker for me.

http://www.thehandconverter.com/ copy/paste hand history. I advice you to look at every important hand and check if you played it correctly, not just when villian makes some stupid move and sucks out. you can use elephant to do so and also you can post hands with stats which also helps

example using the converter.

You either are not ready the articles or your interpretation of them is all wrong. Never make 1/2 pot sized bets on made hands (2/3 potsized bet), you need to be tighter preflop and more aggressive after the flop.

Never play SSS on anything less that 5c/10c tables. Too many calling stations at 2c/4c regardless of what they have.

If there are limpers then you have to raise accordingly (4BB + 1BB for each limper, plus and extra BB if raising from the blinds)

Um, Im playing exactly how the articles have told me to. One exception is the 2/3s rule which you just reminded me off, I forgot about it. I dont play on less than 10NL and I raise preflop x4 + 1 per limper (unless I make a mistake at times, I play 6 - 8 tables)

Tighter preflop? I'm using their charts....

Therk, If you are asking for advice I will inform you of 2 things i did before any others to improve my game when i was losing money. It was;

Watch the Videos over and over and over.

The Second thing i Did was post and read sample hands in the SSS section of the forum. It was here i first learned useful things like;

• If there are 3 or more limpers you can push directly preflop!
• If you need to raise 40% of more of your remaining stack, you also have the nice option of pushing, pre Or post.
• You don't always have to fold postflop If you didn't hit with AK! Sometimes you can call the reraise because of your outs and pot odds! (Well, to put this principle into practice better)
• etc, the list is endless!

I'm sure there is a lot more you can learn from the site, because I'm still learning things from it, even rereading old articles that I've browsed through before! I'm sure you're playing a lot better than you used to, but take my tips (If you haven't already done them) and you'll be playing many situations better than the "basic SSS" articles allow you to

(Oh, if you don't already have them stats could send your performance through the roof also)
