The Downward Spiral Continues

Dropped two buy ins tonight and I have no one to blame for it but myself.

-------------

UPDATE

I looked over my hand histories over the past two days to see what's going on. Although my stats have remained fairly constant, I've been played a lot more marginal starting hands over the past two days and have played them over aggressively trying to push the table around.

I've generally shown down crap in the past two nights. The difference is that over the past several weeks, I'm showing down near the nuts most of the time which allows me to play much more aggressively since I'm getting more respect at the table. I know I haven't been taking table image into account and I haven't been paying as much attention as I should to flop texture when I'm c-betting.

Basically, I've just been playing like an idiot. Overly aggressive on the flop and overly passive post, just check calling with marginal hands, not forcing people to define their hands and just hoping that I'll hit something, which makes me the sucker at the table.

I'm not sure if I'm going to play tonight, but it's time to go back to basics. I need to remember, STARTING HANDS, POSITION, and CONTROLLED aggression instead of just playing like a fish.
