Any Ideas for Me?

Hey guys. I've been playing poker for awhile now, and it seems like my strategy is finally coming to a demise. My aggressive, hold no prisoners style has worked for years now, and I've dominated most games I've played in. Of course, the game is 50% luck, 50% skill, but it seems that lately my luck and skill have both been failing me. I'm the kind of guy who, when I'm looking down and out, will play a 7,2 offsuit in hopes of hitting something big (after all, on UB, the worst hand almost always ends up winning it). The other day my strategy was able to place me 23rd out of 4000+ entries in a freeroll, a nice position to end in, but horrible since top 20 paid out. It's so depressing to get that close, then lose. Any ideas on a strategy that might work for an aggressive player with semi-passive tendencies?

Of course your always on the look out for better ways to play. But my rule of thumb is if you sucessful and honest about yourself.....Play with what got you there. All have gone through the speels of not winning and when that happens doubt can creep in causing us to do all kinds of silly tweaking.....

Play with the fundementals that got you there. Don't let the donks pursuade you other wise. You know its wrong to see them bet or call a bet that is not pot odds friendly and then hit.....Burns me up...but I know they were worng in doing it not me.

It seems to me that the ultra-aggressive style of play doesn't work well in online play (at least at the relatively small stakes I play - $24 buy-in max for tourney, $10 max for cash games). Folks target a person who raises preflop every hand and get fed up enough to start calling or raising with only moderate hands. That happens enough, and someone's gonna get lucky - eventually, with the majority of the table playing against him, the ultra-aggressive person is out within a few rounds and the table cheers the person who takes him out.

I understand what the previous poster is saying about sticking to what has worked, but you also need to be able to switch up your game - all good poker players need to have more than one tool in their toolbox.

And 7-2 off - c'mon... that's just silliness, unless you have a bevy of limpers and you're on the button or already in the small blind. Very few set-ups warrant playing garbage like that.

LOL...play smaller tournaments....that finish you had was a good one considering the size of the tournamet...geez...If that was a money tournament you would have had a nice cash there. If you are gonna subject yourself to a freeroll for that long with that many players then you cant expect much more than disappointment. So i will say keep playing your strategy because it got you 23rd place out of 4000 people so It must be working....its just such a large tournament for such little reward. Play in smaller tournies and ones that pay out better...thats my advice.
