    Default I think I finally figured out my major losing flaw

    For the longest time I would do nothing but play great cards, like I would only play big aces, pocket pairs, two paint cards or suited connectors, anything else I would throw away, like ace rag, K rag suited, 67 off and crap like that I would automatically toss... and I still would consistently lose to people playing garbage cards but didnt understand why... and it put me on the worst tilt ever.

    I think I finally figured the problem out... my range of starting hands wasnt wide enough, so everytime I played a hand, my opponent knew what I was holding and could easily outplay me... I was being too predictable and it was costing me greatly.

    I just started playing a wider range of hands this past week and so far my results have improved greatly, instead of consistenly losing, my bankroll is slowly growing... hopefully this will continue and I'll finally be out of this horrible slump I've been in for the past year!

    I noticed you play NL .01/.02. There is no reason why you cannot win at this level by just playing good cards. I would be very careful opening your hand ranges. Nobody is putting you on anything at this level either. Most people are just there to donk around anyway.
    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.

    I like my women how I like my opponents - weak-tight.

    Yeah maybe so, but you should see the action when I hit a big flop...

    Sure, when some queens flop down you become sooooo loose.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    So are you being a little more profitiable Jarod? I'm having a tough time committing to a variety of hands. I still stick to my 10 or so hands that I feel most comfortable with. If I call with a hand like 10/8o I feel sick... yet it is a decent hand, right?
