Continue to run horrible. I have to think it's not bad luck, it's bad play. But my 1st coaching session didn't seem to unearth HUGE leaks. #

I continue to run super-fucking-awesome at LO8. http://www.thehandconverter.com/hands/883995 Super-standard. #
And yeah, I know he was freerolling me, but with that much in the pot preflop and on the flop, so what? #
Dropped in the Motor City yesterday, but at $6 max rake + $1 bbj, I don't think I'll be playing there much. #

1st LO8 coaching session today. Huge value, even if just to confirm I'm not playing *that* bad. Lately been falling into "overcomp" tilt. #

Last 8200 hands of LO8 I'm down 286 big bets. One swing -194 BB in 1800. I think I understand the theory but obv. huge leaks I'm missing. #

Why I suck at LO8: http://www.handconverter.com/hands/856534
It's always just a guess, and I always guess wrong. #
Why I suck at LO8 part 2. Diff table but overcompensating obv. http://www.thehandconverter.com/hands/856537 #

Ha, so today I'm running good: 40BB in 400 hands — IN 50c/$1 PURGATORY! So predictable. Move down 10x in stakes, run good. #

Kids, this is NOT the way you want to play aces on the 2nd hand of a tourney to get action: http://www.handconverter.com/hands/845549 #
@dcChuck Thank you! And I owe it all (well, mostly) to In a Nutshell. in reply to dcChuck #
Should I be worried they're seeing my hole cards? Timing tell? Seriously: http://www.thehandconverter.com/hands/845699 #
I mean, I get that I'm the fish shorthanded, I get that the CR is a terrible idea, but seriously? Pair of jacks, hoping for 3rd/5th pairs? #
Should I be worried they're seeing my hole cards? Timing tell? (repost, fixed results) http://www.thehandconverter.com/hands/845699 #
Really think I'm the sucker. CO is the same goofball as before, v. agg. http://www.thehandconverter.com/hands/846308 Should get away right? #
Obviously that's about 5 big bets lost to tilt. MP2 is a solid player. His range there JcJd, JdJh, JhJs, JcJh, JcJs, and JdJh. One of those. #
When one of the players is a total goofball, capable of capping with trips no kicker, it's easy to forget the other player's hand is face up #
Weird thing is, I'm the only one with a low there. Knowing their hands, have to call to the river. http://www.handconverter.com/hands/846308 #
I'm running so terrible today. This is why I hold back my poker career playing stakes too low. The minute I move up, run like shit. #
I'm probably also playing like shit, but there you go. Better to win a little at $1/2 than lose a "little" at $5/10. #
Still in this game bc 73/37 two seats to my right. Sample of how he runs: http://bit.ly/bRKYxV Note flop lead with second pair, no low. #
Apparently I just suck at poker. After losing 41 BB at 5/10 to a table playing 35-40% of hands, and 100 BB overall today, I give up. #
Good news: I will be seeking LO8 coaching. My psyche can't stand any more minus-$600 days until I know what leaks I need to correct. #

Ha! $5 PLO8, last 26 of 491, and my table's playing 34/7. These PLO8 tournaments are good, I tell ya. #
Even in a $5 NLHE, you get the gamblers at the outset, then they give their chips to the good players and leave. PLO8, they hang around! #

Looks like there's a 5-handed $100/200 razz game going on PS. I'm not usually a nosebleed railbird, but is that action typical? #
The O8 regs' tendency to break games every time they get 6 or 7 handed, no matter how many fish are left, is absolutely comical. #
Guys, I know your 12/0 style is optimized for 18-tabling your way to Supernova, not for 6-handed, but you're really leaving $$$ on the table #
