I have been losing at poker pretty much non stop since September, and it's starting to cost me a fair bit of money which i can't afford because i am a student. I started off on full tilt, then moved to everest, 888, partypoker, sky poker, sportsbook, and finally titan. I deposit between 5-20 pounds each time, and seem to increase my bankroll by about 20% in the first day, then break even for a while and eventually lose. Against tight players, i normally break even when i play tight or lose when i play loose. Loose players seem to always fold when i have a hand, and if i have an ok hand like top pair or two pair i'll call their 'bluffs' and they have something better. The only exception is skypoker where i managed to turn 10 pounds into 70 pounds in about 13 days, then changed to 888 because of the low traffic on sky, and lost it all. I can only presume i am a incredibly bad player considering the reputation of some of these sites. I nearly always play tight unless the Players/flop is around 10%, i play roughly according to the starting hand chart on poker professor, though obviously it varies to situation...
On the contrary, offline i do almost nothing but make money. I have been to my local poker club in a 3 pounds rebuy/addon tourney 8 times, and cashed 3 times not once having a rebuy or addon, with an overall 210 pound profit. At my local uni club i play at cash tables buying in for 5 pounds, and am overall up about 80 pouinds after 6 sessions. Funnily enough i don't pay nearly as much attention to betting patterns or pot odds as i do online, and don't even attempt to read body language, acting on pure gut instincts.
I dont get why i can't beat a bunch of fish on 888, but can beat reasonable players at clubs who often gamble with 100s of pounds. Sorry for the novel of a thread, but i would really appreciate some help with this.
