Playing some 25nl again

[Akverno]

Tables sort of adjusted to me last night, I ran not so well.

Had a lot of people fire back when I three bet pre flop w/ hands like AK, 1010, yadda yadda when the board came up not friendly.

I had more people fire back on continuation bets then I'm used to and had a few nasty hands all in (tptk vs. flopped set, first hand the guy was at the table).

Melioris was correct in assuming that I wasn't getting looked up very often.

For the first 2k hands or so I was taking down a ton of pots completely uncontested. My guess is that as I near 10k hands my showdown winnings and my total winnings will start to converge a bit as I get looked up more often.

I am at -$9 in showdown winnings, +$284.60 for non show down. I'm playing a pretty aggressive style right now, I'm trying to direct the action at my tables.

Up until last night, I had been three betting fairly light while in position following it w/ a continuation bet like 90% of the time. It was working very well, last night not so much. I'll continue to play aggressive as hell at the tables tonight but wait a bit for stronger hands, afterwards I'll take another look at the numbers and see how I'm doing.

IMO, that is an excellent style for low limits and even higher ones if you are at the right table. It works great against the loose, passive, uncreative types.

Great style, but not so much at NL50 on FTP, or so I hear. People get much more aggressive, ie playing back at you with air and playing monsters fast all the time.

Works well for NL25 though

And now I'm not running so hot, that's two nights in a row of having people play back at me. I'm still up a decent amount for the past week or so but not running nearly as hot as I was.

As people started playing back at me or calling me down light, I adjusted and just started running cold (AA vs. flopped set). AK blanked on the flop/turn a handful of times w/ three bet pre flops.

Oh well, back to grinding it out for a while, hopefully I can find tables with passive players.

Edit: On the good side, I've earned almost two buy ins of rake back in like a week.

Well, it's now been an extremely frustrating three days.

I haven't ran this cold in poker in a very long time. I whiffed on more flops and got played back on than I can count.

I probably flopped a dozen sets or so in the last 2k hands, didn't win a single pot over $5 and lost two or three while deep stacked.

Anywho, I'm gonna take a break. The slow internet is killing me too (I have half the time that the normal person would to make a decision).
