Things haven't been going well lately. I haven't lost thousands; I haven't even played that many hands. Thing is, when I do play, I'm playing scared. I am so sick of being re-raised and having to fold (and I DO fold, all the time, far more often than I should) that I'm not cbetting nearly as much any more - I just assume that all my bluffs will be re-raised, and when you've got that kind of mentality, of course, it seems like they always are.

So I am basically playing in two gears: over-aggro when I do bet, and piss-weak when someone bets back at me or when someone leads. It's like the two aspects of my game, offence and defence, have both become caricatures of themselves, retreating to both ends of the spectrum respectively, leaving me without the ability to actually play poker against aggressive or competent opponents.

In this mire, I have made a few good moves - two big, ballsy, aggressive bluffs last night where I stated with no uncertain terms I was playing for stack, and got good players to fold on dangerous boards. But my bread and butter game is in a horrible state - I am calling more then folding to any strength, after having bet my TPWK on a meh flop and being raised by a lagg with position. It's got to stop and I'm not sure how.
