I appreciate the candor for sure.
What are the red flags if I may ask?
- as a few mentioned, 4k is only 160bb, which isn't really much of a lose. it's pretty standard to have a session or 2 where you lose 300bb total. honestly, i would only expect beginning players to start a post about losing 300bb in 2 sessions.
- asking how to exploit a nitty reputation (bare in mind, i have no problems with you asking. asking questions is how people get better). this is a pretty standard thing to know how to change gears and adjust for your table image. at higher levels, good players should already know how to do this. ABC players tend to not have learned this skill yet though.
- getting in KK 400bb AIPF is typically not a winning move vs anyone with a brain. many people take their lumps on this one at deep low stakes tables, you just happened to take it at a 25/25 table
- asking if anyone has ever laid down kings pre.
look, i'm not trying to rag on you with this stuff, it's just that i've spent a fair amount of time on this forum, on other forums, talking to others about poker, and just a large amount of time in poker rooms. the way you talk about poker just isn't indicative of what i have typically found of players who are 2/5 winners (or higher).
granted, you said you have a normal job and had the $$$ to play in 25/25, i'm of the mind that someone in your situation (which is the same as mine), that you play the highest stakes comfortable without bankroll considerations because your risk of ruin is basically 0 because the worst thing that happens is you bust and go to work monday morning and make your normal salary.
regardless all of this, if you want HH advice, come over the LLSNL area and there are plenty of smart posters over there (with some not so smart ones too). i dont really check out the mid/high stakes forums that much because they tend to be less active, but they're there if you want to post too.
GL with it.
