    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
I always dominate the table for the 1st hour or so ,,raking in pots. All with good paint cards, suited...conectors...position,,stuff these guyshave never heard about .... well to make a long story short the other player's luck always seems to take over...I could have and always have a 3 to 1chip count over the whole table and still I seem to bust out all the time.

the table is full of rabbit hunters and people who like to show the hands at the end....slow the game down....all the things one dreams of getting at a table...........but i always go up so much and then get killed out of one bad pot.........

always !!!!!! how can i overcome this....should i sit on my lead untill less players are left ?? please help

Limit your playing time to one hour each time you play? Sounds like you'll make out like a bandit!

I agree with Quark, I think once you play for a while whether you realize it or not, especially with a nice chip stac in front of you you start to subconciously let the game go a little bit, not so much that you notice yourself playing 6 4 offsuit UTG or anything but just enought to lose everyones money back to them, for this reason I either limit play time which is not necessarily always a good idea as it could cost you alot of profit if the game is good, or I just try to buckle down and make sure that my head is in it and I'm playing the best game I know how to play.

Sounds like you may need to vary your play after a good run. Either players are pivking up on how you play and not paying you off as much, or you perhaps tend to play looser after accumulating a lot of chips. Either way, you are giving up a lot by not latering your style.
