For the last month I've been playing 2NL FR Zoom.
I've been working on playing tighter as Leakbuster identified that as one of my leaks. Previous VPIP/PFR was 18/13 and in the last week it's been down to 14/12 and last 1k hands or so more like 12/10.
BUT I was winning before and was up 15 buy-ins and in the last week have dropped 15 buy-ins! The tighter I play, the more I seem to lose.
I've really been working hard on my game, doing a lot of study after each sesion, reading, posting hands for HA etc etc.
Looking at my tracker, I'd say 75% of the losses have been coolers and suckouts. The other 25% have been my mistakes eg - all-in with AK or QQ, or value-betting myself with TPTK when villain has 2 pair or set. I've even been folding AA etc sometimes when facing extreme aggression and there is an obvious straight of flush on board. Something I wouldn't have done a couple of months ago. I'm folding to most 3bets and only 3betting JJ+ and usually folding to 4bets unless I'm holding AA or KK. Generally, I'm playing more passively - could this be the problem?
What I'm wondering is if by limiting myself to playing only premium hands I am setting myself up for more suckouts, coolers and therefore losses when fish call all my bets and raises with marginal hands or small PPs.
I keep reading that NITs are the most profitable at the microstakes but it isn't working in my case!
Any help appreciated.
