Hey folks
I've been a member for a while but I've been forum-lurking most of the time. I thought now is probably a good time to ask for some help/advice.
I've hit a massive brickwall mentally, and gamewise.
I bought HEM2 a month ago, and I certainly think it's worth the money spent although I have a feeling I'm not using it to its full potential!
Since I got HEM2 I've played ~50k hands (mostly ZOOM), and my graph is slightly... well take a look
It's not so much the losses that bother me, it's more the way the showdown line is so far up compared to my winnings(or losses). I guess I'm not going to showdown often enough?
With the kind of swings that the bankroll is taking also makes me wonder if I am missing some basic knowledge of the game, eventhough I've improved massively and gone through 2nl, through 5nl up until 10nl now (where I'll most likely stay until my results get less swingy and hopefully ascend a little more.)
I think my VPIP and PFR look absolutely awful. I've changed the way I play alot during the last month based on results. I started out as 28/12, got down to 21/17 and at some point I was at 17/15(with a sample size of 15k at that time), and now I'm at 15/10, and slightly tight/passive which I personally don't like. At all.
And that's where I feel I am lacking knowledge of the game because I can get into situations (usually when I've taken some bad beats, where I play bad, or other players end up annoying me with their play, eventhough nothing's wrong with it... sometimes!.) not knowing when or what to 3bet with, when to shove, when to c-bet, when not to c-bet, when to check-raise, or when to fold for that matter, and I just end up with an irrational mess of a game. Maybe its a self-confidence issue as well?
I think I'll leave this one be for now, and post a few hands later.
PS: Sorry for any grammatical mistakes, English isn't my first language!
Thanks for reading!
