Hmmm... I Can't Win
Posted by Mike McKim on February 17, 2007

Wow. Another shitty performance by yours truly. I've had a rough week in online poker. I was in the black my last session, but only $30 (yeah yeah, winning is winning, but I wasn't playing my A game at all.)

These are the times where I always try to analyze my game and see if there is a flaw in my game. I looked over some of the hands I've been playing and it seems that I am a little too lose when it comes to my preflop calls (granted, I am pretty good about not calling out of position, but still, I have been playing way too many suited connectors as of late.)

Obviously I do not know if this is directly related to my losses the last week or so since it is such a small sample of hands. At least I am attempting to figure out what is wrong with my game. Maybe calling a raise with A7s? Or, I could make a ridiculous read and turn a losing session into a profitable one in this one hand?
