Hey
I play in full tilt and have a BR of 16$ i got from playing freerolls and multitabling in order to produce rakeback (breaking even i think). Some days ago i started playing only 4 tables at once in the shallow tables with 40c each. One session i got like 4 buy-ins up and the other i lost them back, and sometimes even more.
I may be shortstacked but i don't play in order to go all-in on the flop, i do have experience and know how to play. Today i realised that maybe my swings are due to the pre-flop raise (4BB + limper). Using this type of raise, normally i'd raise about 12/14c, except for early position ofc. I think this may cause a downspiral in profits because i would have to win the hand many times in order to profit from such a big pre flop raise, also considering that when i actually doubled up, it would only be 40c profit. Adding this to the 12c lost in blinds every 9 hands, it may indeed be diminishing my profits.
I'd like to get your insight and know if that may actually be the cause. I've read many articles and never ran into a player who had been successfull playing with 40c in shallow tables so i don't have a profitable strategy to follow.
Regards
