W00t, one more time

Decent day today, haven't had much time to play lately and making a $28 profit in about 300 hands was definitely a nice little boost to my BR. hopefully i can grind up to a $200 bankroll in the next month.

brutal day

4 time i had KK

walked twice,

ran into AA once

and just now with 80/60/80 stats noone call my 4bb raise in MP preflop

weeeahhh

Sounds like you likely have some pretty big tilt problems?

As others have said, its about playing 1000's of hands and slowing grinding a good profit through solid play, getting good value from your strong hands & not paying off others when they hit.

I'm sure everyone has stories about AA and KK, but don't feel too bad, at least no action ensures a little profit. Wait until you hit a run where you have KK and face AA in what feels like every pre-flop battle then you will be wishing for folds again

count yourself lucky if your seeing that many AA/KK per session

It seems like your table image is predictable. Limping speculative hands and raising premiums?

Use your position to your advantage

Use your position to your advantage

Rasing in MP3, CO or BU with suited connectors maybe? Start showing down those hands when profitable will allow for some more action with your big hands. Just try not to stray too far from the path to profitability.

i guess thats unfortunate

indeed it is.

sit down at a table, in 8 hands i got AA once and KK twice. everyone fucking folds to me

GG this game is fucking stupid jokerstars must be rigged. looking at stats out of every time i was dealt AA or KK preflop only 5% of the time did someone call my raise, only 2% of the time was I able to build a decent pot.

fuck this game, just not for me

Ive found my stats a little wierd. I won $20 bucks yesterday on the nl2 playing my tag style. my avg stats were like 20/15 and today i go to play, i lose 20,,,,wtf

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

faggot kids who play this shit like its bingo going all in with random trash beating my AA/KK no problem.

EVEN when i play it i get beat by trash fucking hands its unbelievable.

is it really worth it to play poker? ive been putting hours into it reading articles, watching videos, analyzing my own hands day in and day out for the last month to get some kind of edge and its all for fucking nothing.

as good as i play it doesnt fucking matter, i can hit the nuts on the flop and they'll get their 1 outer on the river every fucking time.

so i'm at the point now where i'm gonna decide whether i continue playing poker or just forget about. really feel like i should just give up, no matter how much better i am then other players it never feels like its working out for me.

Wazawanga..

Could you get my stats from PKR and tell me if I have a winning style? How are you getting these stats? Or is it just available on some sites?
My username on there is 5kipmuck

just variance mate - keep playing well and working HArd

Why do you worry so much about winnings from AA/KK?

I think focus more on positional winnings

Probably just short term results. It's NL2, you can find bad players willing to call anything everywhere.
