Hi everyone And sorry for the WoT but I wanted to give some intel you might use to judge me :D New member here and looking to get my membership lvl upped as soon as I get my roll up to the point when i can afford to take out from there. Lil history. Next ocotober I will complete my 1st year playing poker, more as a recreational long learning curve player really. Still on the loosing side on total of trying to find a game that suits me best. Been spewing moneys on mtts sngs cash trying to figure out what I like the best..and over and over again I come back to HUSNGs..they suit me the best. I actually did some good results las winter on FTs rushpoker playing NL5 and NL10 but after Ft opened for euro players after black friday I cashed out almost everything leaving just lil in there incase it all went to hell. Sam to PS leaving only $20 in there. So after summer vacation came back. to PS. As theres nothing like rush in PS I decided to do some HUSNGs as I truly love the fast pace and ability to play a lot of hands. Was rolled for $7 and did some of those but dropped to $3.5s after going on a downswing.  This is not intended to be a bad beat thread at all but now my question is this. I am now on a sow loosing rate downswing on $3.5 turbos with like 40-60 winrate. And the main reason I keep loosing is somehow almost always loosing on my PF 65%+ shoves. Is this not EV+ ? I mean the playerpool is so big I pretty much never sit on tables with same players. So reads are not too big really. The aquarium is full of fish though and I was reallylooking to exploit their habit to push any facecards and Ax. My shoving range to win the match when in lead is 88+ and AJs+ sometimes AQo but mainly only AKo. Usuallly this results in fold but when they call I am ahead 80% of the time. Still I get raped on the river A-LOT I mean its come to a point that everytime I get called I am prepared to loose on the river. And thats killing me. not tilting but killing. As it is in $3.5s there is not much anything but nits who you have to steal blinds when they get up 50/25 and chip them away like that. Or lure ppl in with minraises and hope you hit something on the flop while the otherguys hits a worse hand on the flop then bet for value. These guys dont bluff. They have read the dont bluff on micros so many times on 2+2 that its a dead giveaway when they hit their hand. The other type of player stereotype in $3.5s is a maniac fish who have watched primordialAAs vids where he raises on all streets forcing the opponent to fold. And they give 0 reads really as they just betbetbet no matter what they have so you end up calling them if you hit something or try to CR them off their habit.So if I get like 2/3s of the chips I am faced with opponenets who either just fold fold fold or shove shove shove. So I counter them with my 65%+ shoves. I know I am rolled to $3.5s still with no problem (using the 15 BI strategy) But atm I am in disbelief of loosing my 65%+ shoves to ppl calling with J7o catching a straight against my AKs on A K 10 9 8 as tablecards etc. I am starting to think that is my shoving range too wide? I mean I thought its rather tight and totally EV+ but atm I am loosing due loosing most of these shoves. Obv I do catch my hands occationally but for the last like 100 games its been like this. So please help me on this. amidoinitright really making EV+ decisions and just on a sad but true variance rolledcoaster or amidoinitwrong and should tighten up my shovingrange?I know the samplesize is not much really as the variance is a beach and can go on for a lot longer time but I am still not believeing the $3.5s are really hard to beat or has the playerpool been bloated since the new structure as more ppl are lured into 3.5s instead the old $5.5s they had in PS.
