[Closed] Variance or just being rubbish?

I would suggest switching to fullring and reading all the basic and bronze articles before you play another hand, your loss rate is brutal and although it could be down to variance, it is very likely that it isnt

Try playing 24 tables then you can say its boring ♦

Yeah, as much as I would like to believe it's all down to variance, I'm pretty sure I've just been really spewy post-flop. Looking at my stats on HEM as well, I can see that I cbet waaaaaay too much and I'm not very good at just giving it up, especially when I cbet with air and I'm in a hand with a fish I think I should be beating. Turns out I might have been the fish all along lol

Most likely it's just bad play. Changing the game is not the best way to handle this problem. I think you should post your hands in our hand evaluation forums.

Good luck.

7.5 buyins in 532 hands is more likely bad play. Post hands

Ok, I'll try and post a couple of hands from every session in future. Also, NL2 on stars lets you buy in for $5, which I automatically do cause I assume that having the maximum buy in is best but everyone else at the tables seem to buy in for $2-3 dollars so I'm always the largest stack at the table. Does that put me at a disadvantage at all? Should I start only buying in for 100BB?

hi w0rm24 ♠_love:,
At first you should start to buyin for 100BB, exactly. Of course, the most important thing is to improve your game. Just because you buy-in for 100BB won't make you a winning player.

If only that's all it took to make you good at poker
