It has been a roller coaster ride so far. I peaked at up 80 buy-ins and I was close to moving up in stakes. I was playing the style I played from 2008-2010 were I was a big winner at mid stakes games. I was destroyed. I lost it back and I ended down 5 buy-ins. What happened?
I am too loose and aggressive for the micro stakes games. I was losing every flip, and I running into the nuts when I had the 2nd nuts every time. To top it I was tilting too often. Every mush and losing play say the same thing. I need to make a change.
First thing I changed was playing less tables. I like playing 4-6 tables at a time. I lost track of the game flow and was paying off to many player with 2nd best hand. Now I only play 2 tables at a time. This way I don't play on auto pilot.
The players are tighter and are grinding rake or bonus which them make even more tighter. They can be a losing player but still have a profit collecting rake and bonus. I was 3bet machine but I was doing it out of position. Due to that I spewed tons of chips when I didn't hit. I also defended my opening raise to often. The players are tighter so when I did hit the players didn't pay me off. I stopped 3betting out of position, and limped stronger. This kept my pots smaller and control of the pot sized.
So far it has helped my last 2 sessions. Tightening my range out of position and reading the board in position has showed a improvement of my results.
