After two painful weeks , i have noticed that i don't know the first thing about the game. It's is hard to accept it but i was probably on a hot run for a month earlier.

Well instead of blowing my roll by playing the way i do now , just not to harm my ego , i decided i will learn the game from the start.

This will be pretty boring for you and me because i will be posting beginner , unchallenging hands.

Hopefully some of you won't get that bored and help me out because i really need to re-learn the game and re-build my confidence.

Honestly I fold this preflop. Might be a little tight, but you don't have much going for you. TJ says not to play hands with a "dangler" and the 4 icon_suit_club.gif is the exact definition of that. It's eating up one of your (non-nut) flush outs and you have nothing working with it. So what sorts of hands can we make here for the nuts?

Set of Q's on a Q high only board - Check
Broadway straight with dead perfect flop and no flush draw or board pair - Check

and thaaaaat's about it.
I muck.

(though a disclaimer here could be....Sure, you have great position. See a cheap flop with it, but don't get attached to it when you catch some garbage little piece (and yes, oesd = garbage little piece) If you don't flop gin to it, dump it. You'll still be in good position next hand too)

What happens on the flop when you "easycall" as you put it then it gets c/r repotted by one of the blinds?
Toooooo much trouble to get in here, imo, drawing to no more than 4 or 5 outs.

You are right.

I don't know what happened , i can't make the right decisions.

Maybe i fell down on my head while sleeping.

I don't want to take a break either.

I guess i will lose a bunch more untill i get back at it.

Thank god i am a bankroll freak.

I generally agree, except that I play it for a blind on the button. But really I'm looking for the set of Queens and this would be in a loose game.
