Please let me know your feelings on this: It seems that no matter what the level or what site I play on, I'm getting devoured by FISH!! Sitting at a 9 or 10 handed table, 4 or 5 players are always chasing every single pot. You can't raise enough to get them out of a pot. These people are chasing 1 outers to the river, calling big raises with bottom pair, etc.. It was easy pickings when you had 1 maybe 2 at a table, but now when over half the table is playing this way..one of them is going to catch it. I used to be able to show a profit, nearly every single day. Now it seems I'm constantly playing catch up after having another one of these morons catch their miracle card on the river. I'm finding my frustration level is starting to overtake my love of playing poker. Any suggestions before I toss in the towel?? Thanks.

I am there right now and have been before.

I just moved up to the $50NL tables and I find the same fishes, or even more, in the case of Ultimate Bet. That is supposed to be very profitable they juts keep hitting. I went to Bodog and I am only showing 4.2PTBB/100 in over 3K hands.

there is nothing much I can do. I really think I am playing better than ever. My aggression numbers are way up and the W$SD is at 59%, which is a record high. I win 38% of flops seen, but it seems that when i decide to put all y chips in, someone is going to get lucky and hit their gut shot at my flopped top set. I dont know how much you play but I threetable for more than 6 hours a day and it s been for over 10K hands now. I can only show a very slight profit in that, and that comforts me (I come from making 14PTBB/100 in my last 12-13K hands in NL$25) because I know this is almost unbeliveable. It is not as my first 7K hands in UB, but I still cant win.

I am going to give u an example. I had $63 UTG and some one raised to 2.5. I called and UTG+1 Called. I had 99 and the flop came J 9 J. I checked, UTG+1 bet 6, MP (raiser) raised to 20. i thought for a while (to show some weakness) and called. UTG+1 raises all in to 38, the raiser calls and I decided to push .

The PF raiser flips AA and UTG +1 who is a fish friend of mine shows AK os hearts for the nut flush draw I cleaned up and ended with $160...

On the next hand i am dealt 22 and flop came 2 K 6, The AA guy bets 3 and very Good TAG I pay much respect (I have played a lot against him in the $25 tables) a raises to 10 I raise to 20 and they both call. The turn is a six, and the AA guy pushes 30, TAG insta calls and i knew he had a FH, So I called. He also respect me, the river as a blank and he check I checked behind. He showed me K6 for a higher FH and i lost the 60+ i made in the previous hand. It s been like that for a while.

I cant remeber tilting in all this. If this is causing you to tilt I would recommend stop playing for a week or so. Come back with another state of mind.
