According to Poker Tracker, my "credit won" stat started dropping about 750 hands ago and has been steadily dropping since.
I play mostly 10NL or 16NL and have now lost $70 which really isn't an awful lot in fairness, but the way I'm losing is annoying:
I'm getting dealt garbage time and again, my VPIP usually settles around 10 on any table, not because I'm a nit but because I'm getting nothing to play with. I'm occasionally trying to play more marginal hands just to stop the rot of "fold fold fold" but I'm almost always facing a 3-bet or a caller to MY 3-bet and a shove on the flop (where I hit nothing).
I've tried representing strength only to be called on each street and then look like a moron by the showdown when villains' weak holding drew a great hand on the flop and I was dead all along.
Something else that is really annoying me - the button, no matter which table or which player, keeps limping in on my BB. This is even more annoying because - as I said - I'm getting garbage hands and can't just fold on pokerstars; I have to check or raise.
If I check, I'll hit *something* on the flop but go on to lose no matter what I do (they always draw better and keep calling my bets).
If I raise their limp, they absolutely WILL call no matter what I raise and they pull miracles cards all over the place.
This is genuinely driving me insane. I know I'm on Tilt, I'm trying so hard to play sensibly, but I'm either getting dealt utter trash or drawing dead with good hands whilst facing huge bets and knowing full well I'm beat if I call.
How do I get through this? Until a couple of days ago I felt I could play poker, but now I feel like a total beginner.
