So i took up limit holdem about a month ago. Have been trying to read as much as i can i picked up "Small Stakes Holdem" sklansky/miller book and i have almost read it twice.
I feel that i understand the concepts in the book but have problems appling them to the game sometimes. i figure that is from lack of playing and seeing the hands.
So right now i play on FT the lowest limit tables are .25/.50 so i have been playing them no other range since i dont want to lose anymore money.
After 1900 hands im down $30, from all of the talk here and on 2+2 i feel that im just bad. It seems that i should be able to at least break even at these limits. So im writing to ask what sort of advice from others that are doing well could give.
I feel that my math skills are good enough to be able to do the odds on the fly and there is a small chart in couting odds compared to outs in the book taht i reference.
I think that sometimes i still get the outs wrong depending on the board maybe counting a few to many or less due to draws, but it seems that doing that sometimes shouldnt effect my play this much.
i have about $100 left in the account but i dont want to just keep playing with no hope of turning this around. I like everyone else have times that i make money but im still down as a whole.
Do you guys think its just lack of experience right now? Need to run some more hands while continuing to study?
My PT stats atm are VP18.5 / PF 8.3 / AF2.7, which from what ive read arent that bad and are pretty normal for a TAG type player which is what i would like to be.
Anyway thanks for reading and any advice is welcome
