So...
This will probably seem funny to most of the bigger players here, but I went and deposited $10 at PS. (Oooo) and decided to see where I could get from there.
Actually made it up to over $30 playing cash games (Due mostly to a few super-lucky hands, really.) but then promptly lost a lot of it trying to play a lot of tourneys.
So I'm back down to my original $10 and trying to grind out some more cash games, but every night feels like this:
Spend 3 hours slowly making $2 or so a few pennies at a time...then I get a hand like AA and shove (Or just bet big) pre-flop, some maniac calls and turns over 63o and hits a set of sixes on the flop and I'm instantly down everything I had made so far.
Is this just normal? Should I expect to consistantly go up 5 pegs over the course of the night and then get dropped down 5, or should I be being far more cautious and just not making big bets period even if I think I have the best hand by far?
It "feels" like I'm playing well because I'll win hand after hand, but always for such small amounts compared to what I'll lose in some confrontation like that. Sooo, I dunno.
