Hi guys, haven't logged onto 2+2 in over 4 years. It's nice to start fresh after posting so much
OP, I would consider another angle to this: why are you playing 4/8 at a B&M? The rake makes it almost unbeatable long term, the play is incredible boring and straight forward and there are almost no interesting situations to challenge you
Yes, understanding how to adjust to try to break even will make you a better player by understanding where to adjust and why you are adjusting, but the reality of it is that you'll have to relearn so much even one or two levels higher that it's a complete waste of time for your development as a player.
Create an online account and play 25/50c or 50c/1, skip one live session saving double the money to play every other time 8/16. Play HU online for 5c/10c.
Always enter the pot raising or 3 betting, get yourself in uncomfortable spots, challenge yourself to understand the game, it's counter productive measuring how well you are playing poker or understand the game by not losing too much at 4/8
And for christ's sake bet JJ on the turn and check the river, are you drawing? are you calling a bet on the river? why not just bet the turn and get paid by KT instead of paying the guy with the A on the river? You are making the baby Jesus cry.
Live poker up to 8/16 and many 20/40 games in a nutshell are raise, bet, bet, decide
Stay safe everyone!
