Spotted a leak. Don't post the blind! ;)

Raise the flop directly. Without the raise it's hard to put him on a hand. I think the call is ok.

lol. Yeah, wait for BB I know

Yeah I called the flop because I was sure I'm ahead and I tried to keep more players in the pot and raise the turn because it's worth more(In short, I wanted to slow play). Is that wrong in this situation?


Of course you are ahead here but you need to protect against so many players.
Many players slowplay their "strong" hands just to get outdrawn and then they call it a bad beat. If you give the players to call profitable on their gutshots then it's not a badbeat if they hit it. :)

They call to much anyway so don't slowplay as long you don't have a set or better and there are nearly no draws whjich might beat you (with a set the bad draws are straight- and flushdraws for you, with a straight it's a flushdraw and with a flushdraw it's the fullhouse, etc.).

The best you can do is to ignore the slowplay for now. You will make more money in the long run with it by just playing straight forward.

I like your idea of taking a break. This may help wonders. Reread some strategies or record a video and let us analyse it. :)

Analyze this . If I would play at party BBJ I would be a millionaire by now(had another bet like this a week a go, it's posted). Well, I took a break and I'm not pissed or anything and I play as I did before but I'm down another 75BB!!!!!!!! Sick!

Hey, which program can I use to shoot a video?


We have a german howto for Camtasia (mostly pictures which are in english so it may help you too):

https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/de/forum/thread.php?threadid=23292

Here is a video howto for Camstudio (freeware I think):

It will be on german as well but the settings should be "seeable" in there. Maybe Camstudio is even so easy to use that you don't even need it. ^^

Just google for the Programs to find the downloads. :)

Thanks. I'll try to make a video so you can analyze it, couse I'm getting really sick of loosing soooooooo badly. But I think it's just that luck factor, couse I've mostly lost with my monsters getting outdrawn(sets, flushes, straights, four of a kind...)

Ok, I will.

Oh and the hands I posted above happened to me in like 10 minutes after I decided to play some more, naturally I stopped right away.

I made a video, but I forgot to turn the mic on, sooo I kept blabing to a dead mic for 45min

I feel so stupid.

Well I'm still losing.

How can I upload the video. And I'll make another one with comments.

Nice :) You must have felt pretty stupid, at least I always feel really stupid when I've got those things
