What is going on ?
Hey there!
I hope you're doing well.
I wanted to share something with you.
Although I'm not a winning player just yet, I don't want to complain about it. However, something strange has been happening since January 1st, 2024, and I can't quite put my finger on it.
I've been playing poker for years, so I have a good understanding of the game. Last year, around October, I made the decision to take poker more seriously. I started studying and playing almost every day for at least 7 hours.
Things were going great for a few months. I had some deep runs, made it to final tables, and managed to significantly increase my bankroll. But now that 2024 has arrived and I've started playing on January 1st, I feel completely lost. It's hard to explain, but I just can't seem to make any progress.
I'm having trouble connecting my cards with the community cards. Whenever I do, I usually end up with a draw that never gets completed. Or, if I do connect with a strong hand like top pair with a good kicker, a set, or two pair, my opponent always seems to have a draw that they immediately hit on the next street. For example, when I 3-bet with AKs, the flop comes 1098 with different suits. Or when I have AJ on the small blind with only 10 big blinds left and obviously need to shove to the big blind with 35 big blinds, they always wake up with a top range hand. It's frustrating because my pocket pairs always seem to lose as well.Just today and yestreday i recive KK nine times and i win just one of them ..2 times it was vs AA but 6x they cracked.
I don't mean to complain or sound weak, but this has been happening to me for the past two months and I'm really struggling to cope with it. What steps should I take?
And not just crying here thinkink that im the best player who should win everything but it seems really unnatural to me that something like that happening for such a long time ..
Im also watching a alot of people streaming poker and what i see on their deskop and what i going on on mine seems like different game to me.
Also have plenty of photos and videos if anyone would like too see..
