I've been playing SSS at the cash tables in FTP, following the strategy guide to the word. So far i'm down to $32 from $50. It seems like all FTP players play really tight. 9/10 when i raise in position, the whole table folds. Then when I finally get a call or go all in, I get beat by a lesser starting hand. I've heard of downswings, but over a third of my BR is a little steap! So am I doing something wrong or just unlucky???

Post some possibly dubious hands around so that everyone can check.


What limits are you playing, and how many hands have you played? If it's 2NL, then you're down about 35 buyins, which is pretty serious. On the bright side, you still have about 80 buyins left to make a comeback.

The other posters are right: post some hands in the hand evaluation forum and let the hand judge take a look at them.

Hey DeathByHobo,

Id suggest to post some hand in our hand evaluation forums and to read/watch some articles/videos to see where u can improve.

what stakes do you play and how many hands, for example if you play 1/2$ and lose 32$ that's not a downswing, you need to give for information
