Worlds better. Amidst some horrendous downswings, I got back to my Cardrunner roots, and analyzed some of the hands that I've been getting stacked on. In MY head, I've been playing tight/agressive. Really tight. I mean, look at those stats. YES.
In reality, I've been playing out of position with suited connectors and easily dominated hands. While this hasn't always directly lost me pots, it has caused an image equity loss. My opponents don't view me the way I want them to, so they don't react the way I want. Caveat: sometimes (especially at 10NL) my opponents aren't viewing me at all. They just don't know any better.
On to some hands. Note that I played 10NL, won about a buyin, came home, and played 25NL with a ShowDown Muppet (40/27/5.7, WtSD%28.21) and a Calling Station (67/4/0.5). God, the potential profit. I remember wondering how I was supposed to handle the Calling Station...well, examples are always best.
This is an orbit or two in...I had JUST made the "loose/passive?" note on lamere (calling station)

Pre-flop:
onegreenchip raises to $.85. deveeqo folds. bennylofolds. wall_jc folds. lamere calls.
Flop (board: 7d 8c 5s):
lamere checks. onegreenchip bets $1.25. lamere calls. (straightdraw? top pair? 2pair? set? This guy doesn't raise. Barely even bets, just calls! I can't count on him to protect his hand, here.)
Turn (board: 7d 8c 5s As):
lamere checks. onegreenchip bets $3. lamere calls. (Great card for me, but what the hell is he calling me down with? A solid player's calls would make me think "straight" or "draw", but he's about as solid as diarrhea. I think he minraises a made hand, here.)
River (board: 7d 8c 5s As 2s):
lamere checks. onegreenchip bets $10.30. lameregoes all-in for $9.34. onegreenchip is returned $.96(uncalled). (I don't like this bet. At the time, I decided that unless he flopped a straight to my top pair, I was ahead. Two pair would raise, and a set would have raised. [Of course, after the entire session with this donkey, I know better now.] Anyway, I thought I was making another value bet here. Ugh.)
Showdown:
onegreenchip shows Ad Kd.
onegreenchip has Ad Kd 7d 8c As: a pair of aces.
lamere shows Js 9s.
lamere has Js 9s 5s As 2s: flush, ace high. (gutshot on the flop? call. plenty of outs on the turn? call. Donk.)
$1.14 is raked from a pot of $28.98.
$1.14 is raked from a pot of $28.98.
lamere wins $27.84 with flush, ace high.

I was kind of excited after that hand. I mean hell, all I have to do is outflop this guy, and lean on my %s!! $$$ in the bank!
Then this hand happened.

Showdown:
onegreenchip shows Td Jh.
onegreenchip has Td Jh Ah Qc Qd: a pair of queens.
lamere shows 9h Kh.
lamere has 9h Ah Qc Qd 9d: two pair, queens and nines.
lamere wins $7.83 with two pair, queens and nines.
I don't know if that's a great call or a horrible one. I certainly wouldn't have bet out at the flop if I had a Q. Can't put me on an A, either. Either way, though, I had lamere primed to lose a lot of money if I buckled down.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The next hand played out many times with different cards . I would get a piece of the flop, bet it, get called, and then never know where I was. Thankfully, he was usually nowhere.

Showdown:
lamere shows Jd 7h. <--- (I can only bet when I'm overwhelmingly strong? He DOES NOT RAISE, and DOES NOT BET. Only chase chase chase. The problem here is that if he hits a K, this is exactly how he plays it. My high aggression factor slays me in those circumstances. So, do I change up my style of play against this loose/passive calling station? Or keep playing tight aggressive and put the pressure on him with a combination of bluffs and value bets?)
lamere has Jd 7h 7c Ts Ks: a pair of sevens.
onegreenchip shows Qh Qd.
onegreenchip has Qh Qd 7c Ts Ks: a pair of queens.

----------------------------------------------------------------
The ShowDown Muppet apparently noticed the same things that I did about the Calling Station. He raised every hand for nearly three orbits, until I started 3betting light at him, and getting him to back down. Apparently he decided that EVERYBODY was playing exactly like the Calling Station. I wrecked him in two hands.

Flop (board: Th Ac 8c):
wall_jc checks. onegreenchip bets $5.85. wall_jccalls.
Turn (board: Th Ac 8c 2s):
wall_jc checks. onegreenchip bets $14. wall_jc goesall-in for $47.82 (crap. This is exactly how I would play a set here. I have TPGK. This is not a solid opponent. He's been raising like crazy (27%?!) and probably called me light. If this were a solid player, the hands I beat are AJ, 22-77, 99, JJ-KK. JJ-KK probably would have reraised. A set would have reraised on the flop, since there were two clubs out there, ESPECIALLY with this guy's aggression factor I think this is a weak looking bet). onegreenchip goes all-in for $29.38. wall_jc is returned $18.44 (uncalled).
River (board: Th Ac 8c 2s Kd):

Flop (board: Qc 5d Kc): (I flop a set and get BOTH donkeys in the pot. I think Muppet is steaming, and will bet out, and Calling Station will do his monkey trick. I'll minraise them. I WILL ditch this hand if a club hits, but I'm going to give a free card and hope to stack them both. They'll come after me, as they're both down 1.5 buyins to me, and want them back.)

That's the only hand I think I played really badly. Even if my read was off, the river killed me. If I really thought I was good, I should have raised on the turn. Would have ended up the same, probably....
