Hopefully this doesn’t come off as whiny or anything because that isn’t my intention here. I’m honestly just looking for help to get my game going back in the right direction and you guys definitely know more than me
Also, if this belongs more in the beginner questions, feel free to move.
I’ve been playing poker quite a bit over the past two months, both live and online, cash and SnGs as well as MTTs here and there. And I LOVE it. Even on the raging moments, I find myself waking up thinking “I can do this” and getting back to work. However, I keep having a roller coaster of success and I’m wanting it to be more consistent. I turned a huge profit a few summers ago playing 25NL (no idea how I had success there but can barely have a winning session at 5NL) but haven’t been playing like that over the years. A big problem is that I feel like I’m self coaching, which probably isn’t a very good key to success. It’s more of a trial and error method (and most of the time it’s errors lol)
I think the majority of my problems occur post flop. I got some coaching on pre-flop strategy awhile back that I’ve stuck with sense. I’ve read books, tried practicing using equity calculators working with different board textures, using a simple C-Bet strategy to mixing up my C-Bet strategy, playing a wider range to playing a more narrow range, I feel like I get blasted any time I don’t have a monster hand. I’ve had my money taken three nights in a row to players with VPIPs over 70 which seems like the kind of fish we would want to target. I have success against the tighter players who play very ABC, but I can’t seem to handle aggression unless I just sit back and wait for the nuts, which becomes very obvious and tough to extract value with.
People often say “post some hands” and then I get very linear answers for that specific hand. Part of it may be that I’m just running a bit cold, my last five big all ins in cash games have had eq over 50% and I’ve only won one of them. A few nights ago in an MTT I was all in as a >75% favorite 9 times and only won 2 of them. So that may be what is standing out as well
I’m just needing advice on where to look to improve and how. I have messed around some with Flopzilla but I don’t think I REALLY know what I’m doing with it. I would love to know how you guys find ways to improve with those types of apps and anything else you guys have. I’m all ears!
