    Red face Help

    There's no other appropriate title for this thread. I was going to avoid making it so much but I need either reassurement through a downswing or serious fixing of my game.

    I've only played 23k hands of cash in my life, and last week my BR was at $200. I've beat NL2 for 20bb/100, NL5 for 10bb/100 and was beating NL10 for 9bb/100 till through a combo of a few quick bad beats + the flu putting me on life tilt I spewed my way down to $100, plus 3k hands of break even I'm sitting at -0.21bb/100 over 13k hands at NL10.

    Questions I have, what winrate should I be running at (bar my super spew week of fun)?

    I run 20/17/4, am I too aggressive or something? I can't do anything tricky against opponents because they pull the most random shit, so I basically need the goods to win pots.

    Stats:



    And for your viewing pleasure...



    Don't tilt like I do.

    Can any of the small stakes regs eg david, jharding, gder please add me to msn, I dont have any poker playing friends with half a brain to comment on hand histories or discuss any play.

    Thanks in advance...

    way too aggressive at this level - just play the cards at 16/8/2. You usually can't bully ppl off pots at this level - they call because they are curious/drunk/surfing porn.

    Equally no-one at this level believes you have AA,KK the set or tptk - so just exploit that. CB's are not worth it - you might hit on the turn with a threat card and a tight rep. Last in in late hit the blinds.. its just ABC poker to cards and position...
    See me playing $10/$20NL like it was play money

    If you get AIM I can add you to that. MSN doesn't seem to work on my pc properly (logs me out for no reason in the middle of a conversation).
    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.

    Figured out how to play the same volume. Half the blinds, double the tables, twice the retarded players. 8 tabling nl5 = g00t.

    you don't seem to be at all positionally aware. your VPIP and PFR are very similar to mine, but my att. to steal is a full 10 points higher; 35% to your 25%.
