Still running bad

Pfffff, things aren't really turning around as this is becoming yet another loosing month.

It seems that the more I read and the more I try to play by the book: a solid tight but agressive style, the worse my results are.

The last few sessions I have been playing 18/8/2.5, raising with consideration of position and table, only calling raises with strong hands or good odds but it's not getting me anywere.

Yesterday I lost about $5. I really felt I was at least playing ok but I didn't hit anything big except one set and that turned out to be a set over set hand...

It is very frustrating to not hit any hands and getting run out when I do have somewhat of a hand.

It's not all bad luck though, the set over set hand shouldn't have cost me a buyin and I made a few smaller (and cheaper) mistakes. I do try to keep learning from them and it feels like I'm understanding the game better and better but I'm just not seeing that in my results.

The weird thing is I can spot lots of players that make frequent and rather big mistakes, but someone else is always profiting from those instead of me.

I still enjoy playing though and it's not like I have to worry about the money I'm loosing at the moment, but it is hard to keep motivated if there's no improvement to be noticed.

I'm considering moving some of my bankroll to a new site that offers rakeback. Half of my roll is just sitting there on Titan because I need to pick up a lot of titan points to be able to withdraw my bonus there, but that's just not possible on the micro-stakes tables plus there's not a lot of players. I mainly play at Partypoker, because there's a lot of tables and I like the software but their loyalty program is not interesting for lowstakes players and they offer no rakeback.

Well, I guess I should just keep on trying...

Have fun at the tables!!!
