Hey Guys, I'm currently on a bit of a downswing. I'm talking almost every time I flop 2 pair, someone lands a higher 2 pair on the river despite my frantic 10-20x BB raises. If I flop a fullhouse, someone will flop 4 of a kind on the river (actually flopped a AAAJJ and some DB with pocket 3s calls my $10 raise (2/5c tables) and the table says AAJ33 at the end...) so I'm reexamining what I'm doing wrong, how I am losing SO MUCH MONEY, and even who I am as a person.
I am playing SUPER tight now, almost too tight but my question is: Ive noticed I am losing a bit of money pre-flop from scenarios such as the following:
I am in any position on the table (it happens anywhere Im at) and I'll get dealt KJ or TT or something similar. So, I know an A will win, but you can't fold this hand immediately. So, everyone before me will limp in or fold and the decision will come to me, so I'll bet 3x-5x BB, since I'm learning to not limp in (even though I seem to be losing more money from this. Thank you DONKS!), and following me someone will raise me to like 10-15x BB. I usually will fold, but every once in a while I'll get tired of folding and will call with my KQh and Ac5s4d will come down and then I'll get raised like 40x BB, so I fold.
If I call Ive then lost 15x BB, but even if I don't call, Ive still lost 3x-5x BB. I know its not a lot, but over the course of 300 hands... it adds up to overtaking my winnings (lately). Am I doing right by going in on these hands or should I just fold everything but AA (not literally, but you know what I mean). Any advice.
