Alright, after having a good start, the last two days have been really bad for me (down some 60 bucks). It seems that I'm either getting the best of it or the worst of it, there doesn't seem to be any middle ground. I"m playing tight and what I think to be aggressive, but it seems that when I do hit a hand I'm in a quandry, because I don't want to bet too big to knock out any callers, yet it always seems like there is some draw on the board that I'm too worried about slow-playing. When I do get called I'm always getting sucked out. Example, yesterday I'm dealt AA (I bet), flop comes 7QA (two spades), I bet two dollars and get one call, turn a blank, I put him all-in (he's got about six bucks), he calls, and of course he hits his third spade (he had Ks4s). Any suggestions on how I can improve my NL ring game?

this is why i don't play a lot of no limit, it's so volatile. you can make 100 great plays and then lose everything you won on a dumb play by yourself or a bad beat.

Where do I get that at?

I LOVE PT!! I SING ITS PRAISES!!!! Just found me another glaring hole in my game. sFigure this is worth another post... so I'll start a new thread.

Some idea of the number of hands you're playing might help... even a strong player can have 1000-2000 of rubbish.. The skill of NL is to realise that this happens and minimise your loses during these periods (and not tilt). If you only play two tables at a time 1500 hands is 15 hours play..... Even with six open (my norm at 0.25/0.5) a five hour desert is quite normal. This is why rake back and promotions (see the Eurbet one that Red has organised) are vital... they save your sanity if you're breakeven..
