I need advice on my cash game:
I just started playing in Apirl 09. I never played before in my life.
-I typically play with the same core group of people with the new guys popping in and out.
-Min $100 Max $300
-1/3NL Hold-Em
-I always buy in for $120.
What I am noticing is that the games where I win a big hand, say with pocket KKs or 10s that turn into sets, I go up about $100 or bucks. So now I am typically sitting with $180 to $250 and it is all down here from here. What usually happens is that a few other people bust to other players and so one or two other players are deep stacked say $400 $500 about an hour or two later in the game and they bet more aggressively and I tend to fold or get scared when I don't have a decent hand. I might call the turn and river with a $30-$40 bet and then say a $50 or all-in re-raise on me and I fold most of the time.
In my mind, I get attached to "being up" and I don't want to lose my lead. Therefore, little by little, my stack diminishes and then I go all in with my last 30-$50 bucks and sometimes win or lose and then leave...
I basically have a hard time playing with middle pair or top pair, good kicker..
The other problem I have is betting and raising..it is easy to get when you have a strong hand (set or two pair)...but when I am betting and people are calling me down, it gets me nervous when they dont go away...
Can anyone help me out?
