    hand 1 is a bit of a train wreck tbh, hand 2 i like the flat pre oop but i'd rather either raise flop or c/c down. in hand 3 i don't really get why you raise turn, you have a hand with good equity and s/d value as well, it's not like you can really expect to get him to fold better

    I agree with all of this really esp last bit.

    Reg crazyben saying you played Hand2 face up, well that is irrelevant a lot of the time unless you are playing a good reg and even then when you do pull the trigger its sometimes hard not show that you are strong. All you can do to prevent "showing your hand face up" is to be able to make moves and in general being the aggressor works, so a three bet pre would be probably better in hand2.

    Also its really hard to put someone on a single hand so you don't want to worry about it too much unless you are playing crazyben ovc lol :P

    In Response to adjusting to stakes:
    Hi guys and gals me again. Having a downswing in my cash game atm examining my hand history im fairly certain i am playing well just a successive run of bad beats, coolers and a imo opinion 1 well played bluff which was my 1st 3bet light(ish) and cost me heavy (i'll post at the bottom so you can laugh about it) you know the drill. The difference for me now is that having slowly risen through the stakes from nl8 to nl30 in the last 2 months the amount money i am playing for is alot different now which is great on the good days but its seems like a **** of alot of money to lose on the bad days im down 6 BI not the end of the world bbut thats £180 which is alot of money to me. Any tips for detaching from the money value to just "play" money if you know what i mean. It has started to effect my play i havent tilted in a long time since i started taking the game seriously but after losing 2 BI set over set and allin for oppo to spike gutshot on river in the space of 2 mins of each other i found my self spew off my nice chip stack in the £11 BH i satted into at 2 in about 5 mins which can only be described as Lag playing at its worst lol Should i not be playing stakes if i can;t detach myself from the amount of money being played for? any thoughts from anyone who has been through similar would be great. Not a big one for bluffing usually but tried here, the villian didnt seem stationy untill this hand did i play it badly? trying to rep aa/kk or ak after the flop he promptly ran off after this hand so no chance to win it back


    only play stakes where u feel it isnt a lot of money, no rules, u just need to 'feel' comfortable, theres talk on ere about keeping 20BI bankroll, but i suggest 50BI's!

    Using 25 as a rule atm so have had to drop back down to nl20 a couple of times win some and move back up. Getting better at coping with the swings at nl30 still struggle abit after a bad session this time last month at nl10 to drop £100 of my BR in a seesion would have been a disaster here it is just a normal swing bit of a scary adjust
