Hi,


I used to play some tournaments or cash games (when I tilted) a couple of years ago, nothing serious.


I have more discipline now and I am willing to learn.

I sometimes get stuck at specific points. I can't tell wether it is pure luck from my opponent, since I win a couple and build out my bankroll a bit, or bad play from my side. I am a tight player, I don't reraise quite often with K10offsuit on the button for example with 2 people behind me with around the same stack size. Depends ofcourse on the players, but I experienced alot that if I tried to steal, I got reraised and lost a fair amount of chips.


At the beginning of the sit and go, when I get really bad cards and the table is loose on average. Should I try to call with more suited connectors or pocket pairs to get maybe a set or some hand they won't expect.. and after that I can get a big pot out of them?


I sometimes try to steal from the cut-off or the button, but alot of times I get re-raised all in, and I can't put them on a range really.




When I double up, by a flipcoin or a big pot, and I am at around 3k, I have tried to play more loose aggressive, but for me I find it hard to play versus lower stacked opponents, since you can lose a pot and when you are down again at around 1.5k chips and the blinds are 50$/100$, I am back at the position I don't want to be in.


The games where I did win, luck was on my side too (I know poker is also luck, but I want to secure games without having luck, or is that not possible?). Some guy shoved for example with A-10 offsuit, and I was on the BB with pocket kings. That is an easy double up from my side. I don't want to rely on luck so much, but I want to learn more in order to get ITM more often.

I am not sure if I am good, since I did win a couple of times, and my rating doesn't look so bad either.




I hope I don't ask stupid questions, since I am fairly new. Any tips or advice would be appriciated.
