I have found a lot of success in Sit & Go's and MTT's. I start out super tight and super aggressive. I usually take two or three big pots before second break. Because of my image as a super TAG, I am able to also steal a few pots here and there. As the game goes on I pulse into the LAG category backing off before getting busted and gradually just go to full on attack according to the players left in the tournament. I have been cashing in 70% of the tournaments that I have been playing. I am very happy with my game and seem to have it dialed in really well.
The problem....
I have added cash games into my poker play and as of right now I am floundering. I am sitting just $30 to the positive in the last 3 months.
Most of the games are small 6-8 player games .50/1.00 or 1/3 games. The players tend to be LAP and LAG with a couple of TAP. There is very seldom any TAG players.
I have been trying to play TAG style only, but these loose players are calling everything and hanging in till the river and getting lucky. I fold a lot even to the limped pots when hold mediocre cards or crap unless I am getting 9:1 or better. Should I be seeing the cheap flops a lot more and folding if I do not hit with 2 pair or better? I am always afraid of playing mediocre cards and getting caught with difficult decisions when play with LAG's.
Can someone give me some guidance here please? I am just sort having a hard time cracking the code to becoming a consistent winner in a cash game. I do not have the progressive blinds to help put pressure on people. I need to figure out how to win at these cash games. There is just so many more and the money is so much better in a day in day out play. If I can figure out how to crack this, I can play in an extra 3-5 games a week and earn an average $200-$300 per game. As it is, I am up $150-$200 one day and down the same the next.
Any help from you would be greatly appreciated.
