I just can't break through the $40 profit mark which I reached almost 3 months ago. (Obviously I play micro) I would have a string of nice days and come close, but all my profits would be wiped out in a bad day or two. Like last night. I lost almost 3 buy ins. I didn’t exactly play perfectly but sometimes the cards just don’t fall my way. I had JJ vs. 10 10. He shoves all in on the flop of 3 low cards and I called. And he hits a runner runner straight (including a J on the river to gimme a set just to rub it in). Then another one that hurt the most was when I shoved it in on the turn against what I correctly thought was a flush draw (about 1.5 size of pot bet), and still got called, and he hits a 9 outter. These 2 hands cost me almost 2 buy ins. My problem is when I am on a bad run, I can’t bring myself to stop. And when I am on a good roll, I am afraid of playing too long and giving back most of my winnings. The opposite of what I SHOULD be doing. I play conservatively and usually don’t win huge everyday except when cards really fall my way, but when I start losing, then I get more aggressive when I have something. I still get in there good most of the time, but it just seems when things go bad for me, things go real bad. I don’t play perfectly, of course. For example, an example of bad play on my part. The other hand that got me was when I reraised a LAG all in on the flop when I had top pair with QJ. The guy had been betting almost every hand, so I thought he’d make the same play with medium pair or just ace high from the button. I was wrong. He had KJ. I really didn't need to shove there, but I just got tired of him betting all the time and me not having anything I could push back with except then. I should have led out with a bet but I thought that my J was good and wanted to reraise him cuz I knew he was gonna raise regardless.
