I have recently taken it upon myself to develop my online game. I'm mainly a live cash game player. So I have been focusing on online cash games. I had about $50 sent to me from a friend and I have been trying to build that up without depositing. I'm playing the 2/5cent tables. Looking at this as learning time instead of just jumping into higher stakes which I would enjoy more. My problem is that I find myself losing more big pots than I'm winning. I can grind it out, and make a play here or there and do well winning small pots. But I don't win enough of them to make up for what I lose in the big ones. Any ideas on how to win larger pots more often?
It seems anytime I play a big pot I have second best. set to set. or big pocket pair to bigger pocket pair. I realize that I am looking at a small sample size <5000 hands. But I can already see that I just am not winning enough big pots. Its a hole.
I have tried loosening up against raises and trying to hit. I have tried raising every hand I play to try to build the pot. Its just a lot harder for me online to build a pot than it is live. I understand the game is tighter online. But I watch the higher stakes guys, and the good guys and they don't have a problem with it. Is it just the low stakes?
Any ideas or advice is appreciated.
