Im forever blowing bubbles!

Been a while since my last update due to the site going down and plenty of Christmas drinking! I'll start by saying, its not been a great period for my poker. My sharkscope graph is very up and down so I think its time to review my stats and my play to see how I can turn it round.

Just lately I seem to be going out on the bubble quite a bit and I seem to have hit a run of sick beats as well. Mix in a bit of tilt play and I have managed to half my stack. Omaha Hi/Lo is not going well at all so Im sticking with Holdem for the time being. I have been playing a lot of 5 seaters and unless you win these you can hardly make a profit so I am going to play more of the 10/20 seaters. I won my first 20 seater which was nice and I prefer being able to play more patient poker and when I do have a hand its easier to play it stronger with more opponents at the table.

I keep getting bad beats at crucial stages which is becoming increasingly frustrating. I do question some peoples play! Examples of this are things like pushing all in with AK being called by ace rag and them hitting the rag. I even had pocket Aces called by 9 6 off suit pre flop and they hit the straight of course. 76 suited beating my pocket kings, again this was all in pre flop. And all in pre flop with QQ v AJ and them hitting a flush. This is just a few examples of a whole catalogue recently.

I seem to be losing the 50/50s more often than winning, and when i do make positional moves when the blinds are big I always run in to aces. Im begnning to question my game now, at times I have been loose but most of the time Im playing tight and getting bad luck. Grrrrrr!!

Lets see if 2009 can bring me fresh hope! At the moment Im not in the best of moods so going to call it a day!

Current balance: €21.70
