I was wondering what do people do when they seem like their game is stuck in a hole at the moment. I think I am losing the minimum on hands that I am losing, but can't seem to get any type of positive graph going on my poker tracker. As a whole for the year it has been like that online and live. Just a complete yo yo of a time.

Do any of yall have any suggestions on what you do when this happens?

I have really focused here lately on my postflop game and doing what i can to make the most and lose the least. Putting my cards into 4 distinct group of categories and play off of that. I think this has actually improved my game, I guess i am looking into the results, but not looking into the positive that losing the least and making the most is a positive when you are playing because in the long run things should work out.

Look forward to hearing your responses

I think i have what my issue is. I have been struggling keeping my mental together. I feel that i have been more angry and not doing what i need to do. Then when i keep missing a lot of outs and have to fold it is just frustrating the shit. Another one of my problem i forget by playing 10nl is to just play the nuts. People dont fold when they are behind or dont hit, they just keep going and unfortunately hit on later streets. Im not doing what i need to do and i am just losing money. Basically tilted off 37 dollars and it was really not of bad play just tilt. I am so frustrated and dont know what to do.

Any suggestions i am up. I dont care how frank it is, it will not hurt my feelings I am already in a low place with my game anyway

You have this backwards. You WANT them to chase their draws. Make them pay too much for them, and you win. Just don't pay them off when they hit.

i had a total objective epiphany about my game. I think i have not been looking more inward and seeing that i have really been making some horrible mistakes. Calling when i should be raising. so many mistakes i cant even describe them all. Hey its a new month lets try just playing basic poker. I think i have been making complicated plays when it is not even warranted. I have been so frustrated this month but it was not because of anyone else it was because of me and i know what to do for the upcoming month. Here is to running good.

Hey jwlaw35 welcome to the cardschat site. It is really awesome and thanks for your views of what i am going through at the moment. What site do you play on. I am looking to have a group of players that want to start streaming on twitch so that we can improve our games to the next level. Anybody out there want to take on such an endeavor.

What Tim said.

And, lucky for you, we have a thread in here where you can get some good free coaching, support, and learn about parts of the game people are missing. Wow. And it's free... woot! Doesn't get any better than that my friend.
