Poor start to August

I have made an inauspicious start to August, losing just under 2 buy-ins at $50NL over 1,100 in the past couple of days.

No major crisis. I have run into a few maniacs who got lucky on the big hands when the money went in, plus I can't seem to win with either Aces or Kings, except for when the table folds around to my open raise! (I have had KK 8 times in 1100 hands, for a loss of $30, comprising six small wins and two big losses!)

I am running at 17/13 which is a bit tighter than I would ideally like to be, but I think that this is mainly down to the fact that I have been tightening up whilst waiting for a nice spot to punish the maniacs.

I should be able to get a couple of thousand hands in over the weekend, so I hope to be heading in the right direction come Monday.

  • The site is full of maniacs isint it. For my first couple of sessions there i lost lost lost and i was thinking is it good to play where your not comfortable just for the rakeback. I decided not moved my money off it again. 1 thing you dont want to start doing is playing like them.
    Best of luck!

  • Nothing wrong with playing tightly! 17/13 are good stats for the lower limits.

    You should post the 2 KK hands where you loast a big pot. Overpairs were one of my big leaks a few months ago - in particular QQ.
