Tight Poker

[stewart]

I recently joined a crypto site looking for the $100 monthly bonus to add to my poker earnings. This decision was made after I had played the the 2/4 limits sucessfully for about a month at my main site and felt fairly confident that I could play 1/2 limits at Interpoker and collect the bonus to build a bankroll there. After 2000 hands of complete disaster at the 6 max tables I found my Inter deposit had halved. I checked poker tracker results and found that on two occasions I was sat on a table with some kind of 'FREAK' who kept getting all the cards. So I reckoned that rather than continue at limits that required a bigger roll and so I dint drop down back to .25/.50 I went back to my main site and 2/4. Car wreck poker ensued and for the last 600 approx hands I've lost 5.8BB/100 hands. I checked my stats and see that the cards that cost me the most is two pair!! Well over half my losses are due to two pair being beat and the straights I've made are also in the red. The tables and limits I play are fairly soft and it seems that almost all hands need to be shown down to win. Should I be drawing more and calling alot or playing good hands fast and hope they hold up?

2/4 is normal and you moved down to 1/2?

Question is too vague. As always in poker 'it depends'.

post some stats VPIP, PFR, and Aggression. Just to give some kind of sense for those 2K hands. It wont tell much but it might give an idea of what you could be doing. If you are losing two pair a great deal is it because you are unlucky, or not realizing when to fold. Also, overall that is not that big of a sample size before you want to hang it up.
