not good at all but i'm not worried either. i reviewed all the big losing hands so far and came to the conclusion that the loss is due to negative variance and bad play.
im not going to worry about bad beats or anything since that stuff will take care of itself but the bad play is unacceptable and really makes me dissapointed in myself. i can play better than i have and will have to in the future if i plan on having any success.
the play at this level is pretty surprising. it seems like every table has 3 or 4 uber maniacs that are just dying to give away money. i think part of my problem has been having a hard time adjusting to the aggressiveness. things like getting 3-bet constantly and having players make moves constantly post flop left me a little over whelmed. when i get over whelmed like that i tend to start making snap plays without thinking through and it's cost me.
i'm going to re-review the hands i've played so far to iron out what i'm doing wrong and go from there.
here's a couple of gems:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1569143 - this guy had my head absolutley spinning.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1569276 - the old 1 outer.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1569286 - bad play by me, i think i should be flat calling the flop raise and check/folding the turn un-improved.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1569295 - i was 90% sure i had this guy beat on the flop since he had been raising me on the flop with all kinds of bluffs but since i was down a bit and running bad i decided to wait for a safe turn before jamming. the turn isn't that safe and i jam it anyways. just bad play that needs to be fixed.
