Trying to play different
I currently have a very agressive style of play. i like to see the flop with most suited cards or a face card and another card above a 8 or so. i will only get in with those hands if i can get in with just callign the blind (this is all cash game). And if i am delt 2 face cards i will always raise or paired cards above 8 or so. This is not all set in stone but this is what i tend to do. I tend to bluff a decent amount when i sence weekness. But to what i am wondering is i have just had a huge hit to my stack because of bad beats that i do not think i made a bad choice just they seemed to have the only 2 cards that could have beat me. Is this just a bad string of luck or am i being to agressive witch is getting me in trouble? i usually do good with the style i play but latley it is just falling apart it seems to me.

It sounds like you have the same problem I have in cash games and that is being too loose. Playing from any position with any top 80 hand.
Only play premium hands from EP - watch the bluffing, as much fun as it is, you need to know when to let the hand go. |

Where can i find the premium hands from EP? and what are they? Also, my problem when i only play premium hands i always raise like 4-5x bb and then everyone usually folds to my bet. and even when they call those few times i still seem to hit nothing most of the time and so this ends up losing me a good deal of money (not that i play with a lot but for what i play with it is a good amount) and when i do hit and then i follow up on the bet they always fold unless they have like the nuts that always beat me

So far, from what I've read, these are your problems: -Hand range is way too wide for Early and Mid position. Tighten this up a bit. Its ok for LP since you should be playing position more than hand strength. However, if you're going to take the role of aggressive player, limping in isn't the way to do it with these hands... -You're limping into often and possibly too often with very weak hands that get you into a lot of trouble. -You might be overly aggressive and try to bluff a lot players. This is really easy to pick up on, so try varying your bluffs and don't do them as often. As soon as you think your opponents have picked up on your style, switch it up and start valuing betting your strong hands for example. |

I got the same problem man, i played very agressvly, took allot of small pots. When i really had a big hand, someone would not give me credit and try to semi bluff me with a flush draw, or something, i would call and eventually get hit. I lost about 80dollars one day always with the best hand, and it got me wondering if i should tight it up. But in the end, i really had the best hand, but i lost it after that, didn't have much left, so i'm still to retry with different strategies
