Got My ass handed to me today

I dropped quite a few buy-ins today on Full tilt when my good hands were always second best to another hand and my great hands either got no action or lost. The worse was when my Pocket Kings ran into trips jacks and I rebuy now. Pocket aces, everyone folds and I just win the blinds. I would raise preflop with A/K, A/Q, A/J, K/Q several times and miss every single flop. I would continuation bet and before it was all over I lose $3 on the hand and after 10 or more times of that the losses add up.

My $VPIP was only 19% for 6-max so I wasn't playing too many hands. I was just losing the hands I was playing.

I did win on Absolute Poker when my pocket Jacks hit another Jack on the river to give me a full house and beat a lower full house. That has made my Absolute bankroll at one of its highest points ever. I have played well there but was lucky today when I caught that jack on the river.

I moved down in stakes on Full Tilt yesterday to the .50/.10 ($10) No Limit tables and I will never do that again. The play at that level was atrocious. You could not get people off of a hand and a preflop raise was a joke as they called everything. Now I remember why I hated playing that level so much. As far as I am concerned the play at the $25 dollar level is head and shuolders above the $10 level. With that being said, you still find donkeys at the $25 dollar level but there are only one or two per table, not 4 or 5 so chances are much better for you and play is much better. It doesn't take long to figure out who the donkeys are and then you can try to exploit them.

You just have to hit a few flops to be successful and today I was not. My worse day of poker in a month.
