So, I've been playing NL50 for about a week, turning $50 into $100. Just now in a matter of two hours I lost $50. I got destroyed. I did not handle some variance well and I tilted. I got into pots with over cards 8 hands in a row and had none of them pair up. I got 3-bet post flop after my flops all missed and just had to fold, 8 hands in a row. That was a good $20 right there. In 200 hands I did not get a single pocket pair, no AK, ONE AQs, and so started playing more hands and got myself into some bad spots (tilting), trying to rep hands I didn't have, unfortunately the villian seemed to always have it. I know, 200 hands is not a lot, but man its rough when you aren't getting a single hand you want to play. This is my fault. I should have kept disciplined or just stopped playing.

So far NL50 is my favorite to play. The 3-bet and 4-bet action is more prevalent and gets more respect. I do have some things to work on. One player just kept playing right at me. I was folding to his 3-bets and I think he thought he would exploit me this way. Truth is I was playing hands I probably shouldn't have, so I let them go before I got stacked. I think I should have 4-bet him to see how he acted. I was spewing so much I really didn't want to put those chips in for 25-30BB.
Hands to follow if I can figure out how to get to them. I stopped using a HUD on purpose. I want my brain to get in the habit of keeping track of game info. The HUD is barely useful on anonymous tables anyway.
Mods,

that would be great. Apparently I got a little out of line as far as subject matter.
